• 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.

Thank you for all help

With help of many here and bajaron, I was able to replace all brake pads, bleed brake lines which I’ve never done before. Brake pads and bleeding wasn’t bad but little daunting at first. bajaron's pads are an improvement for sure but i had to bother him few times with things i wasn't sure about. :)
I wrapped the plain black plastic parts while I was at it.
Few pics of wrapped parts.

Also got rid of stock air box, replaced HID that was causing humming noise in sound system with fanless LED for head/fog light and installed power commander, bajaron’s spark plug and cable.

Great job on the wraps. And congrats on doing your own work. You'll end up with a better job, done sooner, and costing a lot less!

Not sure if it makes all that much difference. I think it does reduce intake noise. But it was fun! I cut the venturies off my stock air box and incorporated them into the JT Air Box. Pretty easy on the 1-10 scale.

15 Rs has different airbox and flair is at the other end and won't work like older RS but i don't like the JT's airbox anyway so will take it off and put stock airbox back without the resonator. its too loud for me even with the pre-filter. it makes listening to music harder at high speed and low speed with throttle wide open.
i will put them up for sale.

I removed my JT airbox due to the loud intake roar. Peaceful again now with the oem box back on. Yes, it is a pain to remove but I only remove it once a year.

You sound handy .... I had two V-twin Spyders, and added " cold air intakes " on both ..... I used the right side OEM air intake and some 4" alumin. dryer hose ... which I connected to the OEM plastic " air box ". First I cut down the OEM " rubber snorkels because they are much too close to the Radiator over-fill container ( which draws in very hot air to the throttle bodies ) ..... I can still take that Panel off easily ..... If you want to vastly improve the suspension system .... PM me ..... Mike :thumbup:
