• 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.

    magnetic drain plug covered

    just did my first (second for the Spyder)oil change. The right side drain plug, the magnetic one, had a lot of residue on it (I've always called it swarf from my Ural days) So, wondering if it's pretty normal to see that? 6000 miles, SM6

    Base F3, SM6

    Anyone have one of the base models, or just me? Never hear much about them. Very happy with mine - 2800 miles to date. Added LED running lights, wrapped the grips, put on Matazu bags and a throttle lock. That's about it. (for now) So if you have one let's hear about it.

    Anyone changed base F3 turn signals to LED's?

    question pertains only to the Base and S. Has anyone changed rear bulbs and front to LED? If so, did you need to change the flasher? Please don't tell me there's a kit to purchase, I know that. And I don't think the kit replaces the stock rear bulbs.
