• 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.

Weak brakes! Stock Ryker brakes suck - Any other calipers fit?

Rule of thumb ... tighten a bolt until just before it snaps off ... ;-}

PS - on the shoes. Recently found out EBC uses a special coating on their shoes to give you instant grip out of the box. That coating wears fast, but is enough to give you extra stopping power until the pads break into the rotors properly. Nice feature, that ... supposed to be on a par with the actual pad material it is.

My lifetime rule of thumb has been tighten until it snaps off, so I like your approach better. I thought the brakes were pretty good on my 2021 900, and I haven't been scared too much yet. Of course, everything is relative. I'm comparing the brakes to my previous 2004 Dyna Wide Glide, and you can imagine who the winner is.
