• 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.

Windshield Extender

I was really concerned about the bar-end mirrors and how they might work. I mean, they look great but couldn't really work well. I was WRONG. For me anyway the mirrors are some of the best I have ever had.
I have never been a fan of the bar end mirrors either. But when I bought my 2010 Vmax, it had bar end mirrors on it. They work great. Now I know not to judge a book by the cover.
 
nice to know that options like screen extenders and mirrors already exist. Now if somebody will just work on panniers and mounts for both sides:pray:
 
The Hozan brand extender was back ordered 6 weeks at Amazon. This one did not list a specific brand name but looks very similar. At in town speed it is too early to tell how much it reduces wind noise and I have much experimentation on height and rotation. At any rate, Lucky Lizard likes it.

Well, lucky Lizard will have to get over it but I have already removed the extender. I did not like the way it influenced handling in high side winds and at highway speed really did not mitigate wind noise. I will need to try something else.
 
Regarding CTAC's Hood Accent, that looks like a white Classic Hood Accent and nicely matches the white "chin spoiler". In Canada, the Classic Hood Accent is only offered in yellow, red & black. You can get a white Epic Hood panel which is larger but that's priced at a lofty $240 Cdn. What is your secret?

If anybody is looking for a windshield extender I have a used one (used for about a day) that I will sell for $20 shipped.
