    Default Wow..!!

    Would depend on in what area...safety...comfort...handling...bells and whistles... Mine all fall in the performance and handling. So on a quick pick... BajaRon swaybar and hiem joints..and the Yoshi R77 pipe.

    1) After mkt/better quality Car tires - you'll be gob smacked at how much better your Spyder can ryde, handle, even perform once it's got some good tires under it! A set of good quality car tires will improve all aspects of ride & handling on your Spyder, & you can even choose a tire or tires best suited to your ryding needs & wants instead of using the 'one type suits some' method of selecting tires!

    2) After mkt Stabiliser Bar & Heim joints - you'll be just as amazed at the improvements in handling & steering you'll get from a stronger sway bar! BajaRon in North America, WeSpyd in Aust, & others produce some pretty damn good 'better' stabiliser bars for just about all Spyders that will make your Spyder Ryding a whole lot more enjoyable, no matter how you ryde!

    BUT, both of these changes won't be able to give you their greatest gains unless your steering & wheel alignment has been done properly too, and sadly, it seems there aren't too many Spyders leaving the factory with good alignment dialed in; and there are only a few dealers who bother to take the time to check; even fewer who can & do set-up the alignment properly for you when you buy a Spyder from them.... but it really is worth getting a proper wheel alignment done by someone who knows what they are doing & has a rep for getting it right!

    Lights for safety. A higher windshield for comfort. A third? An upline seat.

    Then comes the "bling" stuff.

    I would say Floorboards (for any Spyder model) whether you're tall or short. Nothing beats being able to move your feet and legs around to keep the blood flowing.
