    My 15 RTS came stock with a sway bar. I found it too squishy, so it now has Baja Ron's setup. Love the setup. Oh, and I usually ride my Spyder as hard as I rode my Beemers.

    15 RT - I have the vent and it greatly reduces the back pressure (on my back) and takes away most of the turbulence on the top of my helmet. W says it helps 'smooth the air' for her, too. JMHO
