If you live outside of Nevada, you're welcome to co-opt mine. If you live in a state where you get seven letters/characters to work with, I'd go with "3SYRYDR.;

See the note: Please call for information on 2010 RT Triple Play Upgrade Conversion
What that means is that you need to...
Not sure I can much help with your decision. I know nothing more than I read on this site regarding Elkas. As for the WP shocks, I do know they we're developed using my bike as a test bed so I...
My guess is it depends on how much space the rider occupies (and I'm not going any further down that road).
I have no issues with fit or quality. And the 'spyder' stitching garners a lot of compliments. The seat is snug at the nose and consequently I don't try to force the glove box closed. No issues...
Scotty - what I call "Fender Tips" are actually the Mudflap Lights. At the time I purchased them, that's what Street magic labeled them. Sorry for the confusion. And I agree, they are very helpful.
For what it's worth, I thought I'd summarize the mods I've done to date on my 2010 RT and how I'd rank them if I had to do them over again, one at a time, based on their potential to improve my...
This particular scam is all over Craigslist, with a variety of underlying products.
I thought the stock performance of my Spyder was pretty good, but the PC has made it an even greater pleasure to drive. The smoothness is unbelievable. None of the lumpiness when creeping around in...
Read the thread. Even though I disconnected the link when changing the rear shock and before I started the work, I may still have done something to screw it up. Will need to reexamine.
Will do.
Thanks very much. I'll run it by the dealer.
My air shock does not respond to changed settings using the electric switch on the dash. I can go from one bar to six bars and nothing changes. Pressure simply holds steady. However, I can make...
When I took the bike back a few days ago, Dusty said it has been released, but they were still looking for rider feedback, which is why they provided me with the product. It's much easier for them...
I just had Dynojet's Power Commander and O2 Optimizer installed on my 2010 RT-SE5. While this product has been released, Dynojet was looking for additional feedback on performance.
So, while I've...
The bit of looseness referred to, and it's just a bit, occurs as the armrest is tugged AWAY from the bike. When we ride through the twisties, my wife keeps herself steady by putting her hand over...
After living in ME, MA and CT for 50 years, we moved to Las Vegas 10 years ago Greatest day was when I gave my mower, rakes, shovels and snowblower to my nephew. What an amusing conversation you...
Forgot to mention, upon examining my OEM shock (has about 6k miles on it), Pierre noted that the top bushing was considerably out of round. He decided to use a metal bushing instead of the OEM...
Just catching up on the last several posts.
Pierre measured ride heights carefully and was not affected.
Rebuild is not expected until you hit 30-40k miles, depending on ride conditions.

Got it. Thanks.
Meaning they have a different shape or different stiffness? Asked another way, are they interchangeable as with the shocks, so that an RS would benefit from a stiffer sway bar from the RT?
Curious - does anyone happen to know if the stock sway bars on the RT and RS are the same or different. I recently sold my stock RT shocks to an RS owner and now that I've installed Evoluzione's...
If you need a simpler shock with fewer adjustments, WP has a shock at the same or better price point than ELKA. And you won't have to fuss with ride height when installed, as all their RT...
"...The install did lift the front suspension’s center of gravity height by 1 and ¼ inch. My head lights needed to be adjusted as they were in the sky."
Do you know why ELKA didn't design the...
Can you offer any details on the installation? Did you remove the rear cargo, etc.?
Did more riding over the weekend, mostly surface streets, but a lot of lane changes and the usual potholes, etc. Still amazed at how good the ride is (BTW - I have only the stock sway bar). I've...
1,499 Euro? Yikes...that would be pricey even if they tossed in a rear shock.
Did quite a bit of riding over the weekend and continue to feel more and more comfortable with these shocks. The bike feels glued to the ground in quick lane changes and corners. The sweeping...
