W used to do that on trips, especially when we had the Beemers. Since the :f_spider:, not so much - Spyder ergonomics too different.

Baja Ron's bar made a huge difference for my RT! I ryde it just as hard as I rode my Beemer.
In 07 the dealer in White Bear Lake had some demos. My wife got tired of my helmet in her face while riding my Beemer, and decided to try her own. She took the MSF course and passed! We found her a...

Yes. Then I rode one. ☹️
While I was still riding Beemers, my wife got a Spyder GS in '08. We of course had to farkelize it, which meant many test rides for me after each addition (cruise, shield(s), luggage, etc). I knew...
There are a lot of BlueTooth-enabled units around. We have Schuberth helmets (not cheap, unfortunately, but fit us well) that have worked very well for us. The electronics are in a collar that...
Try www.bigbikeparts.com I know their 1/2 cover works with 20-22 Spyder; not sure about the full cover. Give them a try.
You are still under warranty - Get them to fix it.
Great idea, SLICE! Just ordered! Thanx!
In a word - yes. You get what you pay for.
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.
Leo's South, Lakeville, MN - 9.4/10 Been customer since 86, they got Spyders in 08 we got one. Then I got mine. They even do laser alignments. Family owned.Good group.
Yup. Its that time of year. Raven does not go out once salt has been spread in Minneapolis.
We used to ride if the roads were clear - coldest was -6. Once was enuf.
I have the one from Aerostich. Works well. I also have the more automatic one from Lamonster.
The 4-pin connector combines the turn signals and assumes the trailer does not have separate turn bulbs. I wired up a simple/emergency 6-pin but both brake and turn use the amber lights on the...
Some are good; some otherwise. The good ones will be around for a while . . .
I have a 15 RT. VERY happy with it. I came from years and miles on Beemers, and with my wife's 08 RS. If you haven't already, read the do's and don'ts. It drives much different than a 2-wheeler, and...

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
5 1/2 years ago i moved to Spyder RTS after ~300K miles on BMWs. Knew Spyders from W's 08, so when left knee became questionable, Spyder was natural choice. I also recommend working with...
After 60+ years on two wheels, i test rode the SE6 ('auto') and fell in love! That was in '15. Still love it! Admittedly, sometimes i miss the leans AND i absolutely LOVE that is does NOT fall over....
Put his winter cover on and set up the smart charger.
We got Aerostich suits years ago. Got them large enuf for layering under.
My RT is quite different air-flow wise from my Beemers. We kept the heated jacket liners and they are good. I was in...
The fogs on my RTS are almost always on - mostly for the added visibility. I did the same on previous 3 Beemers, and it proved to work in more than one instance.
The only downside I can think of is...
So sorry to hear. They really can get to be OLD FRIENDs. Hope your insurance works out.
Sometimes a lawyer can be of help. I agree with MONK - their first response is just that. A starting place...
Including 200,000 + miles on BMWs. Wife had decided she wanted to ride, but at 4'10" her options were limited. In 08 Spyders came out, she got one, we built it into a touring ryde (I of course had...
