• 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.

Risers

I have a block riser that the dealer says is 2" and bought the ESI 3" risers, giving me 5". I thought there wasn't going to be enough cable but cutting some ties I had enough. The only thing I can't do is roll them back towards me, which was fine for me just where they are. I can adjust my mirrors to see under my risers and plan on getting the mirror extensions just the same. The extensions won't interfere with the windshield, that is the Madstad Robobracket.

Once getting the risers, I needed a more comfortable seat and found a Corbin seat in the For Sale/WTB boards and got a great deal on a brand new seat. With the risers and stock seat, I was sitting on my tailbone and had to stop often. So depending on what risers you get, for greater comfort on longer rydes, you may want to think about a more comfortable seat, mirror extensions and windshield. The Madstad is adjustable and instead of buying others that I most likely wouldn't like, I bought this one that can be adjusted to whatever position I want. :thumbup:
 
Wow! Lots of good information! I didn't even think about the need to get mirror extensions or a new windshield.

That's what we're here for - to make sure you get all of the info you need (and then some ;) ). :2thumbs:
I agree with Beachbum about the Madstad windshield. Although I didn't have one on my :spyder2: I did have one on my BMW and really liked it.
