• 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.

    my brake extender I was playing with this one and it works great from the floor boards, I know you can buy one for $70 somewhere but the boot pad was too small for me and this did not cost me a thing but a little time. Next one I am going to cast alum.

    floor boards

    I have the floor boards and you will find that you have to lift your foot to the brake. I made my own brake extender that I can operate with my foot on the floor boards, this will make it easy to use the brake without having to move your foot far.

    It has a quick release so that you can take it off and carry it in if you wish. It will hold a full face helmet and mine is the largest you can buy.
