What's your secret recipe?
So many threads about tires, windshields, alignments, shocks,
swaybars and more...
There are still a lot of us that are still uncomfortable with their Spyder especially at
highway speeds.
So...give us your best recipe that made your Spyder ryde as comfortable and smooth as possible!
The secret is time and miles

I still believe that the wavy roads (the 2 lane ones mostly) in Florida are part of my problem.
It's hard to keep the surface level when the road is built on SAND.
Finding a wavy section of pavement while going around a curve is particularly unsettling.
I had this same problem with the wavy roads when I lived in Southern California, and it bothered me at first too. Once I realized it was the road, and not the bike it got better. I just learned to not hold on so tight, and adjust when the wavy part hit.
One thing I did to improve my confidence was to find a non-wavy road, and let go of the handle bars to see how straight the Spyder rode.
*Note: I had the cruise on, and held my hands about a half inch above the grips for safety when I did this.
Just give it some time, and miles. It will get better.
