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.
What has everyone added to their RT?

I forgot about my swaybar! I added one too. Worked great. I also modded the trunk and ran an 3.5mm cable from the back of the byke to the front for tunes/phone hookup.

I think that usually means the member has been banned. In this case it must have been short lived because I see he is online now, 12/21/19 10:45 PM MST.

I bought 69 Mustang Grabber Blue paint from G2, that I plan on spraying the calipers with this spring. Can you see it really well through the wheels?
