• 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.

Securing things in the side pod….

Last week I was flagged down on the highway because my side pod was open. Funny that there is a warning on the dash if trunk is open but nit the side pod!! Well, my brand new Gerbings heated jacket liner was long gone. After much thought I decided to do something about it. I purchase the things in the photo. Not sure what the "thingies" are but they worked pretty good. I had the bungies, 10 bolts, 10 locknuts, 10 metal washers and 10 rubber washers.

I had to emote the back bodywork above the tail lights as well as the bottom black plastic piece as well as the lower side panels in front of pods.
I marked the drill hole locations.

I then attached the "thingies" with the button head on the inside and the rubber washer, metal washer and lock not on the outside.

Then I added small bungies that will prevent large items from falling out!
