• 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.

    Touring windshield

    The install was straightfoward. The upper screws on the windshield are replaced with plastic screws. The side deflectors have a neat bracket..very intricate bent metal. You will have to dissasemble them to remove them or any body panels they cover. I am going to work on a shortcut for that...

    Helmet problem

    My first thought would be to keep your heads further apart!:joke: But seriously I guess it could be part of the sunshield mechanism? Does it happen with shield in either position?

    Squeaking rear brake

    Clarification? Just so I am sure I made it clear...My problem seemed to be tension in the cable from the mount point on the bottom of the swingarm to the caliper bracket. I loosened the mounts on the bottom of the swingarm and gave some slack towards the caliper. The cable sheath "outer" not...

    Squeaking rear brake

    I did some work on my Spyder( valve adj. check, belt tension etc.) After brakes warmed up they squeaked like crazy at the rear. Finally discovered that the combination of moving things around put tension on the e-brake cable. The cable was pulling the rear caliper crooked and when I gave the...
