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.

Having almost 5 decades of riding behind me I've found that leather is the best for comfortable grip on all motorcycle seats. I bought a pair of high end textile pants but found that I slid around like a pin ball. Took a lot of the fun out of riding the Spyder.
My solution was simple. I went to a Tandy Leather store and bought some black dyed Goatskin Leather. It's soft and really rugged leather. Sat on the bike and had my wife use a sewing crayon and outline where my seat was on the seat. Made a templet out of paper and then cut the leather. Two exact pieces. Put some cushion fabric for a bit of loft and sewed them together. Then sewed diamond patterns on the piece then sewed it on the pants.
Your outline isn't necessarialy the size of the finished piece. You only need it to look good and give you the friction against the vinyl or leather seat you have.
If you make it look like a pair of pockets and not sew the upper seam shut, you will have a pair of leather pockets. I've gotten a number of positive comments about my home grown solution even though my pants are Navy blue and the pockets are Black.
Just my 0.02 cents
