There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Thanks, I have one more tool in the attic and will get that finalized after SpyderFest. I'll have a few of these and anything else I have in stock with me at SpyderFest.

after having the push in on the Harley and falling on my butt and oil splattering everywhere almost everytime i would check the oil, I'm kinda glad to have the screw in.

Never would have guessed others were having diffeculty removing the oil cap.
Would be nice to have a cap with an oil level indication on top though. My biggest problem with the dipstick is the darn o-ring will not stay on the stick, it comes off every time I unscrew it and I have to put it back on. Poorly designed o-ring seal without a groove to hold the ring.
Anyway, fun thread and look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

How about a check oil light based on mileage, say every 500 miles or what ever you consider best? Or even better, a counter that activates a light after 1200 shifts or some appropriate number. Easiest would probably be an hour meter that activates a light every 8 or 10 hours. Industrial engines often use the hour meter, I think that would be the easiest, maybe!! Or ......................
I just check it every day and don 't worry about it at all.
