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.

Is it recommended to wear a mask inside of your helmet? Anyone know?

Sadly passed away, December '23.
I really like your video slide shows, but please consider extending the transition time between pictures to give the viewer more time to enjoy each picture.

I went out today for a short 45 mile ride to check if I finally got the handlebar straight. It was slightly out sense last year. Now A OK. Note the mirror on windshield, hangs on with suction nice and tight. I love the floorboards. Backrest is attached to the bag (with pump, plugs, & air cartridges inside) , not real solid but it does the job for now. I did the paint job last year. "Road Scholar" on fenders is a carry over from my bicycling. My cycling friends gave me that name because I amazed them when I knew if there were any rough roads ahead, inc. loose dogs, construction, or fresh Chip Seal. Led headlights and a 4" strip of red brake only led lights up under seat (not shown). Strips of led drive/turn signal lights around air scoops. Air Hawk seat cushion definitely works. I attached the water bottle cage today actually to the mirror clamping bolts. The jury is still out on it, but I'll appreciate it more, later this summer. Lower 60's today and yesterday, only mid 40's tomorrow here in Norther Illinois. Oh, note the yellow and black "Cinilli" handlebar tape. Works good. I almost forgot to mention the Rox 2" handlebar riser (tilted close to 45 degrees) works great. It's best to move handlebar forward to load up on fuel. Maybe someday I'll get a larger windshield.

I am thinking that would be overkill. If your riding the bike and following social distancing recommendations, you should be good.
Bring the mask along and anytime you get where there are crowds, put it on.

I believe Zinc and Quinine in Tonic water PREVENTS the virus. Quinine helps usher the Zinc into your cells.

This project took time, some frustration, hack sawing, drilling, 6mm bolts and lock nuts (with nylon inserts), bravery, and being some what mechanically inclined. I knew if I messed up I could purchase PEGS from "cheapcycleparts.com" for 25$ each. I had the time (retired) Mech. inclined (QC inspection 35? years).
I really like the floorboards. I suppose it was worth the all the effort. ALL items for project probably around 75$. Do you own a hand drill and a hacksaw? Compare all of that to trying to purchase new ones for 290.$ YOUR DECISION!

I didn't like the "chrome?" around the rubber mat, as you see in the pictures I gotta work out something better. Hard to match up the angle from one floor board to the other. HEADS UP> I don't know why, and isn't felt while riding, but one peg is about 3/8" higher than the other measured at the tip to the floor. IS YOURS? Take that in to consideration while trying to equal up the angles. You won't get the angles to match perfectly. If they're close you won't notice it while riding. After Market ones would be nicer but I had the time for this project. I feel new ones are about 100$ too much. I rather spend money on a BEST Warranty.

As you see not all nuts fit flush up to the inside curve of peg. At first I tried just using one long bolt (came with floorboards) but the triangular shaped supports on underside of floorboards didn't seem far enough apart at the back lower corner, fighting matching up angles too much, so I hacked them off. That was BEFORE I realized the height difference of the pegs though. So you may not have to hacksaw as much off. That black glossy spot in the last picture was from first attempt without this area hacked off. The filler is two part epoxy. I'm sure if I did this project again it would be a better turnout, now that I got some practice. I hope the pictures will explain more. As I'm out riding I only think how good they feel!
