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.
Rear fender / belt guard question

Joe, I had to do a fenderectomy while I was in TN before returning to CA. I was able to retain the larger part of the two parts that make up the belt guard with no issues whatsoever. I kinda like the way it looks with the Corbin bags on either side and no fender.

cool topic.
Patches: Do you have any pictures to share? Also, I'm wondering if you find it an issue if you ride in the rain - does your back get wet when riding fenderless?
I was wondering if there was alternative fenders out there, with just a different look?
Cheers.
I think Corbin puts out a replacement rear fender.

Thanks for your reply. I found:

however, I'm wondering if there is something a little more 'up off the back wheel', perhaps hanging from the back end.
Thanks.
Evo have a license plate relo kit that sorta fits your description. Byond that, you need to customize it yourself.
I sure do..just check out my profile. Plenty of pics.
I found a cheap piece of metal angel for a screen door hinge. it was exactly 90 degree angel with one big one on one side for the bolt to go in the back and two smaller ones I used to mount the license plate. I then got some white LEDs that you find in any moto shop that screw into your plate, wired them directly the existing wires that came off the fender and there it was. I bend the license plate a bit up as I go two up from time to time.
As for the rain, I rarely ride in a down pour but if I do, I don't get wet at all but if I ride two up, the passenger does get a little wet. If it is raining, you are wet anyway. The license plate does a good job at blocking most of it.
Will take some pics of my stuff when I get a chance.

"We took the stock rear mud guard support and cut it down so that it was just higher than the belt. I re-plated the top section, used body filler and then coated it with gloss black. Easy custom belt guard."
