• 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.

    Elka shocks

    Install the front right shock first.........the left one is a bugger. When you take the bolts out on the left front OEM, wrestle it out, replace with the Elka then reverse the way the bolts go back in on the Elkas. Makes getting the bolts in easier. I had john from Elka on line and it was his...

    Highway driving

    Everything they said above AND check your tire pressure. The factory settings can really make things wonky. I have my fronts at 18psi and back at 28. Good luck, congratulations AND just give it some time.........

    Yes MB is asking a "shop/tech" Question: Tire wear

    I'm with you Shaku regarding the freaking wind gusts that Texas is famous for!!! I had my left arm up signaling to the back of the line of motorcycles i was riding with, when a rogue gust of wind whipped my left arm completely around and I almost went off the bike. Went to the ortho doc and...

    After the first 30 miles, got a question...

    You might want to look into getting a set of the Original Grip Buddies (one of this site's sponsors).......really helps to cushion the OEM grips. I love mine!

    After the first 30 miles, got a question...

    What he said!!! I was experiencing the same thing and this group helped me with some easy yet profound changes. Front tire pressure for me is 18, rear 28 and I tightened the shocks all the way..........WOW..........what an instant difference those things made. Plus easing up on the grips...

    Seal Floorboards and heat management

    I have the Delux Seal floor boards and love them; however, if I put my feet up high on the upper part of the boards, the heat shoots straight up my jeans. not pleasant here in Texas! I can at least reposition my feet now and get a lot more area to 'press down" on the boards when I am pushing...
