2010 RS with adjustable bars so sit upright like a ST/RT.
6'2" and 34" inseam.
24" madstad.
Had the touring shield and buffeting (and ear drum popping) was so bad at 60+ I could not sustain...
Removing the plastic splash panels underneath seems to have helped some with the heat.
Still feel it but more spread out and not targeted to my ankles.
Great people to work with.
I'd say the most important thing is his expectations. A Spyder is not a motorcycle but it does offer a similar open air experience.
Often long term motorcycle riders struggle with the differences...
The best source of information I've found was on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Biketoberfest/
They are posting updates daily on conditions and event details.

We ride 2 up on a 2010 RS SE5.
Electronic shifting takes some getting used to and honestly it makes me lazy but I tend to just enjoy riding more.
It was very uncomfortable until we replaced the...
They all come with a sway bar. The BahaRon bar is thicker and there are improved end links for some models.
Sway bars = less sway or roll when cornering.
Typically, aftermarket bars are...
As others might have said, it really comes down to fit, meaning head shape.
I have a long, oval/narrow head so my options were limited.
I went with an Arai signet q.
Shoei gt-air or neotec...
I believe the newer backrest replaced the older style and should be interchangeable.
Newer is larger for more comfort and has the optional top box.

We like our RS after adding a comfort seat and madstad shield.
I didn't care for the RT all that much but if we were travelling alot guess it would be more comfortable.
Rode a F3t at bike week....
The ST has an improved seat. Same shape with better foam or gel and upgraded/stitched cover. It is definitely more comfortable but not as nice as the comfort seat. The RSS might have the same....
I bought a RS for my wife because she couldn't ride her ninja. She rode it solo a few times but got worse she rides on the back now. Stock rs seat i was hurting in 15 or 20 minutes. By an 1 hr, ...
I had the touring shield when I bought my spyder. Buffeting was so bad I could not ride at interstate speeds.
I ended up with a 26" Madstad. I still get a little buffeting at some speeds but I...
I went with a 26" madstad and very pleased.
Isn't there a set of the oem givi brackets in the classifieds?
If not these is another set on Craigslist here in Florida.
Someone posted a few months back that the Tigerpaw was too tall and rubbed.
As posted above, all tires are different sizes, even if they have the same size stamped on them.
Personally, never...
Lot of people like the Lithium-ion batteries and some of the newer sport bikes even come with them.
However, they require a special charger and don't like extreme low temps.
They are definitely...
I was cleaning up my phone over the weekend and realized I saved these pictures before I installed the Comfort seat.
Stock seat I always found myself sliding forward so with the Comfort I tend to...
I got a comfort seat b/c I was unable to ride more than 20-30 minutes without hurting. I am 6'2" and have adjustable bars so the seating position change was welcomed.
Comfort seat + bars and...
Yes, the dolly instructions state to safely jack the vehicle.
The rear motorcycle stand, if you could find one wide enough, would lift the rear tire but it does not move around, unless you pick...
Where have all of you been? Solar. Panels are up to 315 Watts each now. Still a bit costly but price/watt is coming down.
Tesla also has a powerwall product which is a large battery to store...
Actually, the electric bikes do have those sounds. I've ridden the a Zero and a Victory.
Here's a little more information about the project:...
There are a lot of variables when it comes to wind shield design and function.
This is why people have different feedback on the same shields.
Buffeting is turbulent air.
In all my research...
I would agree with all of the above, a Spyder will likely be the smoothest open air transportation you can find.
Which model specifically, well you'd really need to ride them to see.
Some say the...
Should never plug the sidewall of a street tire. I would make an exception to get off the side of the road to a shop but not as a perm fix.
...
Looked at the pictures posted again. Try adding some space between the visor and shield to get more air flow between them.
The buffeting comes from wind turbulence. In all my testing, the result is either go big or small, but anything in the middle usually just makes things worse.
Well fitting helmet will help but...
Thanks Adele. I'll definitely let her know. As with many diseases it takes time to figure out what works best for each person.
Hi Bytemi. I am new around here so nice to meet you.
My wife was diagnosed last year. Her mom also had m.s. so not sure she was all that surprised. It has been tough to see her lose some of her...
You didn't say how much cheaper you were looking for.
Quick search on Ebay I found it $80 cheaper: ...
