• 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.

    Sorry to hear. My Schuberth large C3 helmet with comms fit in my SH36 saddlebag, as did my LS 2 helmet. I did add the lidlok, as when on overnight tours, I use my saddlebags for personal gear. Rick

    F3S needs Hard Side Bags - are BRP Shad bags the way to go?

    Rear rack mod for Linq accessories I won a BRP Urban backpack last year at the Ryde the Rock event here on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. It is designed with over the shoulder straps or the Linq system. My base model F3 didn't come with a rear rack, so I bought one. My local Can-Am dealer...

    Madstad windshield for Ltd - close to perfect for me!

    McRuss - I am 5'11" and have been riding with my 20" Madstad all the way up, and at a slight rear arc. With my visor of my Shuberth modular helmet up, I sense no wind noise up to about 45 mph. At 50 mph and great with visor down, I get wind noise. If I lean forward, less noise. I wonder if I...

    Recently, my fuel gauge started acting erratic. Filled fuel, fuel gauge showed full, climbed a hill, and gauge showed 3/4, but I had only ridden about 12 miles. I use my odometer, but dealer is going to replace the fuel pump/sending unit assembly.

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    My wife has no interest in any motorcycle, so I ride by myself. Most of my biking group have employment, so only available weekends. As such, I often ride solo. I do appreciate the overnight trips with a group, but I would prefer to travel during the week with less traffic and lines at...

    What experiences have you had with Lithium Batteries?

    I have 2, 100 amp l2 volt lithium batteries in my travel trailer. They have a 10 year warranty, so considerably better than lead acid or AGM. Charge source for them is the truck alternator (which I doubt is set up for lithium batteries), my on board converter, which has a setting for lithium...

    I use an old fitted sheet, when I remember. Works good with the elasticized corners.
