• 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.

    2013 build date vs. front end fixes?

    My new 2013 RT-S has a build date of May 8, 2013. Does anyone know the "cut-off" when the units were coming off the line with the new front end pieces and didn't have to have the dealer do the fix? Is there a specific range of VINs that the dealers had to fix? Just interested and confirming what...

    2013 front end "recall"??

    Going to look at a 2013 RT next week. A question regarding the front end - is the "recall" folks are referring to an official recall or a factory recall? Is there a list of VINs affected anywhere? Was there a VIN beyond which the factory itself had made all the necessary changes? Thanks.

    Custom boots ?

    custom boots Many years ago I had a pair of motorcycle boots custom made at a place in either northern ORegon or southern Washington, can't find the name. They made custom boots for loggers. Maybe that will help you find them. I'll keep looking.

    Urge for more RED in my life

    Starting to think about moving up this summer. Have always lusted after the RED RT. Recently saw the ST (yellow) and like that also. I think I’m going to ride both before I decide. As a single guy, I don’t really need the back seat of the RT, but all those bells and whistles – plus, did I say...

    STS saddle bags??

    Looking at a yellow STS to replace my RS. Question: can the Can Am bags from my RS be moved along with their mounting racks straight onto the STS?? Anyone know or have tried it? Thanks.

    Trailer to tow RT Limited behind motorhome

    THanks lyonsden for posting my picture. If you also want your car along, this is the way to go. I couldn't see pulling a 20+ ft box trailer behind a 40ft motorhome so this works. Have put on almost 15000 miles in the past 2years. Well worth it. Just my hu;)mble opinion.

    regarding color It's called blackcurrant - all I see is black. After too many black cars and bikes, I wont do that again. So the currant part of the name got me interesteed. On looking at the pics though, it looks like plain old black. Where am I wrong? When does the currant show up? Only in...

    Shop told me that the hot foot mods would kill my master cylinder

    Interesting posts - I have a RS. Is the removal of the pans (sheet metal) a thing on the RT or does it also apply to the RS. Thanks.

    New GPS - Amazing!!

    Finally decided to upgrade my motorhome's GPS. Eyesight has deteriorated and the small screen was getting harder to see from a few feet away. 8 years ago I got the Garmin StreetPilot 2620 for $960. UPS just delivered my Costco purchase of a new Garmin Nuvi 2555LM, tax included $162. And it is...
