Took the Plunge - 2017 RT Limited (gray) is now in the garage!
Hi Gang!
New Spyder owner here, in Las Vegas. Couldn't resist all the rebates and extended warranty. I am currently pouring through all the posts on this incredibly informative forum, looking at mods to add-on, etc. So far, loving the ride!!
Feel free to reply back with any advice you may have, any "must-haves", etc. The riding season here is quite long!
Thanks!

Congratulations and welcome. I have been riding my 2016 RTL for about 6 weeks now. I really love this machine. I went from a Goldwing to the Spyder and don't regret it at all. In fact I wish I did it sooner. While the info on this site is excellent, I decided to ride the machine to see what I thought it needed and so far I think an upgraded sway bar and something to eliminate the belt vibration is in my future. Also the radio reception is poor but since I listen through my helmet, I'm not too worried about that. Everything else I would like are cosmetic in nature. Chris

Congrats on your new bike. I suggest that you ignore most of the farkle advice and ride the vehicle for a while. Things that some people say these bikes need is not an issue for other people (example in my case is the sway bar). Ride the bike and then decide on customization items that fit your specific needs.

Red Rock rally is close to you and is coming up the end of this month. If you could make it up there (St. George UT) you would meet lots of owners and even talk to venders. Its a great time and lots of information. Bob

and on the new
Read the Do's and Don'ts if you have not already done so. Start with lights. You cannot have to many of those. I like the General Dynamics trunk light and the TriCled LED's.
Give yourself a thousand miles or so before any riding modifications. Shocks, seats, etc. Big ticket items and you may or may not need them for your comfort. A thousand miles in the saddle and you will know. You might have Joe and Ann (Squared Away Alignment) give your a look over. Many come from the factory--not aligned properly. If yours does not need an adjustment, they will not charge you for it. They also have lots of add on goodies.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
