• 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.

    Looking for a good GPS - Touring, no off road. Considering Garmin Zumo XT - thoughts?

    Thanks for the input, I'll have to check my settings and move my start points up the road a bit.

    Looking for a good GPS - Touring, no off road. Considering Garmin Zumo XT - thoughts?

    I should add if I create the route on the XT itself via the trip planner app it works perfectly. Comms are not the issue, the issue is the XT will not run a route that has been imported and give turn by turn directions.

    Looking for a good GPS - Touring, no off road. Considering Garmin Zumo XT - thoughts?

    I must be doing something wrong with my Garmin XT. When I import a route, either from Base Camp, Google Maps, or other sources, the XT will display the route but will not give turn by turn directions. Can someone explain the full procedure? Maybe I'm missing a step, or maybe I need to load it...

    What trailer hitch for a 2023 S2S?

    I have no idea what your Escapade trailer requires or what connection it uses. Something you need to explore. If it has separate turn signals from the brake and tail lights then you would need the 5 pin. If your Escapade has a combination brake, taillight, and turn signal then you would need a...

    Learning to ride this bike: my progress so far

    When I first got my '24 S2S I found the ride OK, but when riding two up the wife said she felt like she was going to be thrown off the bike in a curve because of the body roll. This is after riding behind me on my GL1800 and a GL1500 trike as well as a GL1800 trike, so she knew how a bike should...

    Is an OEM backrest the best on a 2020 RT Limited

    I have the OEM backrest on my S2S because it came with it and I find it perfectly comfortable. I had the Utopia on my GL1100 Goldwing and it was perfectly fine. If I were to buy one now, it would be the Utopia, because it presents a flat surface as opposed to a curved one. I had a friend who...

    Have you mounted a remote bus bar away from the battery? Where did you put it?

    No problem, here are a couple of pictures of my installation. 3 connections, top center is ground, bottom two are switch and unswitched 12v relay mounted under the ground bus bar. Other picture is my charging station for my two Cardo units and an un-activated cell phone that I use as an Mp3...

    Have you mounted a remote bus bar away from the battery? Where did you put it?

    I made my own and located it behind the zip down area of the frunk above the battery. I made one 12v bus relay enabled with the key switch and one direct to the battery and a third was a common ground. Bought the components on Amazon. Hooked the coil of the relay to the accessory terminal used...

    Looking for a good GPS - Touring, no off road. Considering Garmin Zumo XT - thoughts?

    I've found over several Garmin GPS units, that they like the Garmin USB cable best, and often don't work well with others.

    Looking for a good GPS - Touring, no off road. Considering Garmin Zumo XT - thoughts?

    I have the Garmin XT mounted on my 2024 S2S. I like it a lot. Bright screen and buttons easily navigable with gloves. Strictly Bluetooth though, no wired connections. Will not connect to the S2S, you will need a wireless headset to hear directions connected to the GPS. Garmin Drive App required...

    Any Mechanics in Southwest Florida who will work on a 2013 RT?

    Pretty sure it's either the master or a caliper, probably the master cylinder.
