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.
RT Elka Rear Shock for 2011

I have Elka shocks with heavier than standard springs. According to the guru at Elka the front shocks mainly affect the front and the loaded weight will not determine the preload or optimal spring rates you should use. When I bought the shocks used, I suspect the original owner weighed about 100 lbs less than I do and heavier shock springs were needed. I bought these springs from a US vendor and forum sponsor at the recommendation of Elka tech support. With the softer springs in place and not enough pre-load, the shocks handled only a bit better than the OEM shocks with the pro-load cranked all the way up. The air ride part of your question is kind of irrelevant as my non-air ride RT has air shocks that I can change add and remove pressure manually and I keep mine at 65-70 PSI for a good ride and to see over my windscreen (25").
