• 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.

    How to slide rear end over in garage?

    Tried a few different searches and couldn't find any info on this one. I need to slide the rear end of my RT over after I park it in the garage.When pulling in I end up leaving almost 20" of wasted space between left saddlebag and wall. Much needed space I might add to walk thru. I can see a...

    Modified windshield, oh what a difference.

    2015 special edition windshields I took a test ride on a 2015 RTS Special Edition while I was waiting for my 2011 to be given a trade in value. The windshield on the SE seems to be just about the same as you made. In the up most position it seemed to be in the low position on my 2011. For those...

    Misunderstood? 2015 issues?

    So a few days ago I posted about what I need to do to my not yet picked up 2015 RT limited. I had mentioned all the mods to my 2011 RTS that I had completed. Didn't get the help I was hoping for.... What I hope to find out is what the 2014/2015 RT's need to make them better than stock. Not...

    Looking for ideas on map holder for 2011 RT

    FYI, I tried doing a search before starting a new thread, "map" is too short for a search. "Holder" brought up 205 pages. So I am looking for ideas for a map holder for my 2011 RTS. I have the Hopnel H41TPC-2BK.This works ok, but I would love something a little more secure from wind. Any ideas...

    Are highway pegs worth the expense?

    keep in mind I have Lamonster NBV Highway pegs on my 2011 Rt. Very helpful on longer rides. PLEASE keep in mind though, when you're feet are out there you have NO BRAKES. I only use them to stretch out when traffic is clear and I can see WAY ahead. For me one of the few things I don't like...

    Disappointed to read this review

    review I actually think he wrote a spot on review. As a long time motorcyclist, snowmobiler and atv rider, I agree with his input on how it handles. It is just like riding a good sled on a well groomed trail, get your weight a little forward and nail it. On a nice day, riding solo, with out too...

    please, please

    weather In upstate New York, a 10 day weather forecast is about as useful as ... I really can't think of anything. When we get 2 to 3 days out, you can start worrying or start jumping for joy.;)

    RT EXTRA SPACE FOR STUFF!

    Just enough extra space. I ended up using BRP trailer hitch(without wiring, as I don't have a trailer yet) and this handy unit from Kuryakyn http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/338/trailer-hitch-rack Found it on Ebay for $110 delivered. The mount attaches under your hitch ball and I added a...
