• 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.

    2018 Slingshot

    :agree:; but I'm not sure how what Polaris does affects BRP??? I do think they should get on the same playing field as the H-D Ultras and GL1800s. I really miss the completely integrated AM/FM/CB/XM infotainment system on my "09 GL1800 Leval 2 based trike.

    New to 3 wheels

    There's a steep learning curve when going from 2 wheels to 3 (500-1000 miles). Doesn't matter if it's 2 in the rear, or 2 in the front. I've gone thru all 3 stages. On a trike, you can't lean; but you have to learn how to shift your weight to negotiate curves. For me I had to adapt to the...

    2018 Slingshot

    "No truer words have ever been spoken". Linda & I got the coupon some weeks ago. Today we had the opportunity to go take a test drive. We went thru the usual preliminaries, left our helmets behind, and jumped into their demo SL. Once out on the local " back roads", the first words out of...

    Honda Goldwing Reverse Trike, Can Am Style Conversion, has anyone seen this?

    Champion is the "american group" that you speak of. They originally took the Lehman Monarch II body kit and put their IRS driveline under it, and called it a Lehman. If you google Lehman Trikes, you will find a current internet presence.The address is the same as for the Champion factory. Mike

    Trying To Understand Tire Data: PSI/Load Index

    Mike, Thanks for your comments. The TAR data(multi page report) was developed for cars and trucks. The Load Index data is a universal grading system for ALL tires, motorcycle, auto, or truck(I checked before posting). Looks like I misjudged the community's desire for hard data on tires. The...

    Trying To Understand Tire Data: PSI/Load Index

    There have been numerous post all over this community forum focusing on the question of what is the optimal rear tire pressure for a replacement car tire on a Spyder. The resultant answers range from 18-30 PSI. After much research, I decided to go with the Kuhmo Ecsta AST(225/50R15 91H) tire on...

    I wonder where the HD riders are going?

    :agree:. Being a H-D touring bike rider from '96-'09, a GL1800 trike rider from '06-'14, and now a '15 RTL rider, I wave @every rider because we are all out there"in the wind". No matter how you shake it, these rides will set you back $30K, not including farkles. I think Harley made 2 bad...

    Tire Mileage

    I just reviewed my RTL's owner manual on tire pressures. The pressures(20-fronts/28-rear) are the "nominal" pressures. You can lower them 2 PSI, and be within BRP's guidelines. Likewise you can raise them 2 PSI. Mike:welcome:

    Tire Mileage

    Clarification Please My rear tire tread(8500 miles) is down to the "blocks" that are located at various places across the rear tire. My tire depth gauge reads 6/32nds at this point, so these can't be the wear bars???? I went on google and found out that Kendas use the little triangles around...

    Federal Formoza AZ01 205/55 15 rear tire ?

    It seems that the most "popular" 205/55R15 is the Yokohama S Drive. It's a UHP Summer Tire. Some have reported mileage in the 18-20,000 range. Others have gotten about half that. Don't know if longevity has to do with inflation pressure????

    I did it!

    Hope you don't mind me asking:. a. how many miles were on the Kenda???? b. which Kuhmo tire?????? c. did you change your front tires, if yes, to what tire??? There's a LOT of info here on the optimal tire inflation pressure for a rear car tire. Some people are recommending 18-20 PSI. Some...

    F3 Limited or RT Limited for 2up Riding, Newbie here with questions

    :agree:, my "best-half" test sat on a 2017 F3 Limited. She felt unprotected compared to her seat on our RT Limited. We have friends that went from a 2014 RTS to a F3 Limited; but they trailer to most events, and ride after arriving at the rally.
