• 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.

    I didn't watch the clip - bandwidth limited. I am curious how they are going to get fuel.

    ok gun people, what do you think of this

    The .double barreled 45 --- Definitely for those for whom too much is barely enough:b2b: For me? No. I can't handle two single stack 1911s at the same time. Yes I'tried. Even have mild difficulty using one in my off hand. Still, nice looking machinery. And I always like that. ice

    Non laser alignment

    Responding to pk's post Yes, meets my understanding. I recall working on a high school shop truck (50 years ago). The frame was bent far enough you could see it was crabbed going down the road. The truck centerline did not match with the direction of travel. As I recall we spent a lot of time...

    Ron thanks. Had most all that - okay, had all of that. Yes, considered using the term "rear wheel fore and aft centerline" instead of "vehicle centerline". Just needed a term to show the relationship. Jumping subjects a bit. For all y'all: As long as I have already kicked the hornets nest...

    Yes you are beating a dead horse. Perhaps you could read post 41.

    Non laser alignment

    Joe and the others that recommended I call someone that does alignments: Yes, I figured out that asking here hasn't worked so far. For all those that have suggested/recommended getting an alignment done by a competent vendor: I will gently say, that wasn't the question. However, yes, that will...

    Non laser alignment

    jc - Thanks for your response. Please believe me: How I would measure this or if I am planning to measure this, was never part of my discussion. I am simply seeking a clear understanding of published specs. Apparently (to me anyway) I did not do very well expressing this. Considering I have...

    Each sentence in order: possibly, and yes I am a Nutz and Balts kind of a guy as soon as available yes, and a good one, automotive steering design not my speciality yes I agree. You obviously have good taste not worried, just an inquiring mind next time I think they are within a couple a hundred...

    Wind noise for 2015 RT-S Special Edition

    We have an RTS special se6. It came with a 16.5" windshield. Even full up I'm in the wind. i'm 5-10, 30" inseam. My wife is 5-4 and, of course the back seat is a few inches higher. She doesn't complain about the wind, but her intercom mike has a lot of wind noise - really a lot. The only...

    Bless you. You're actually addressing my question:yes: The first in 10+ posts. The phrasing you are using is exactly what has me stalled. Hopefully you can rephrase and help me out. "This is 0.125" across the 15" wheel. Approx 3mm total toe." It is the word "total" that stalls me Yes...

    Read Your Post

    I'll add one: Actually read the post before you reply. In particular look for the sentences that end with a question mark. I don't have any Snickers, but I recall a Hershey's dark chocolate in the freezer. I'll look for that. the worm

    Guys I did ask a specific question: As I said, if no one knows I'm okay. I'll figure it out. However if you do know and would share, that would be gracious. Endless repetition of BAD IDEA doesn't answer what I'm asking.

    Non laser alignment

    Personal opinion: If I thought they did good work, and I had to drive more than an hour to shave $100, I'd pay the money. And it is done. However, just for my own education I want to do them one at a time and see the difference in the handling. My current plan is to get the alignment done...

    Non laser alignment

    One point I didn't cover, concerning the sway bar. All the following is just my opinion. Spyder steering geometry is not different than that used in autos for the last 60+ years. There are no special physics involved. Yes, adding the aftermarket sway bar will not change the STATIC alignment...

    Non laser alignment

    Guys and girls- I really appreciate all the responses. I especially liked "suitable for a farm tractor", "similar to using flint knifes for surgery", and "like using star charts for navigation". Yes, I would use a vendor with laser alignment equipment, if they were available. No, $50...

    Drove over to Motorsports of NM, Santa Teresa. Talked to the service manager. They were gracious, spent plenty of time talking to me. They're using straight edges, square, measuring tape. The parent store is in Las Cruzes. They have the same equipment. Q: SM says they set the toe to 1mm when...

    Trailering - Windshield

    Not enemy fire. Just normal civilian collateral damage. Life happens. As for the windshield damage, considering what I've read here: I didn't know the spyder windshields and finish may be softer than a run-of-the-mill snow machine. Seems odd, but OK. If we open trailer any distance, I'll...

    gopro mounted on can am rt

    Fun GoPro story Couple of years ago one of the crew picked up a GoPro laying in the middle of the North Slope Haul Road. We watched the recorded video and could make out a license plate number and a mid-West bike club name on the frame. Sent the club an email. Do you know this guy? We found...

    gopro mounted on can am rt

    We've been thinking about getting one. The mirror mount is interesting. Don't know much about them yet. I'm guessing they have a memory card, fixed internal battery? Couple of Qs for those that know: How many hours of video before the memory is full? Can you change out the card or must one...
