• 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.

    @$$# rear suspension

    I agree with Joe Meyer. My compressor went out on the Alaska trip and had the shop run the line direct from the shrade valve to compressor. On my return home my friend, riding same bike had his compressor go out and I run the line direct for him. We have found the air will hold up a full season...

    Need to keep the Lady Riding

    It sounds like you have no air in the air bag. If it has the air compressor type then chances are the air compressor has failed which is common. This happened on both mine and my riding buddys, 2012 RTLs . Mine would bottom out the same as yours. There is a shrade valve under the seat which you...

    Why is my RT Bottoming Out?

    On my 2012 RTL, when the air compressor failed we were continually botoming out. I bypassed the air compressor and run 80 psi in the air bag. We ride double 100% of the time and the ride is good and no more bottoming. Combined we weigh about 400lb. Roger
