But maybe the rider is half a bubble off.

I was off
I was off about 3/4 of an inch looking at the lines they had on the targets. A few adjustments and a I had a nice smooth ride home. Thanks Jordan for putting this together.

Mine was spot on the right side and off an inch on the left side. After adjusting that and then setting the toe in and recalibrating the DPS it went down the road like a dream.
Thanks Norman and Jordan.

We have seen quite a few 2014 that are like yours, okay on one side and off on the other, but so far we have not seen any Spyder that was spot on.

I really debated doing this, I've been very happy with the handling and tire wear. After Norman and Jordan did their magic it was very evident the Spyder was a better ride. It's almost like they boosted the power steering because the steering took a lot less effort and cornering was smoother.

It was an absolute blast. I am so happy that everyone that needed the alignment noticed the difference and was beyond thrilled! Mine was the first one done and I was so happy with my test ride after it was done I didn't want to come back, I just wanted to keep riding! Thank you to all who came, you were the ones that made this possible!

Thanks again jordan
Was not able to try mine out at your house because of brake problem but got home and tried to bleed front brakes again by taking off calipers and holding bleeder up higher and out come all the air! Took it for a ride and brakes work perfect without expense buds treatment with the new rolo front end aliment it feels like i just put power steering on it! Thanks again Jordan for having and feeding all of us!

The reason for bleeding the brakes with BUDS is to get any trapped air out of the ABS module. Manual bleeding can only get to what is outside of that module.

Sorry I couldn't come and for the short notice.
I'm still waiting on my dealer to tell me when they can come and get my machine in order to fix it.
Guess they didn't checkout the cooling system before they delivered it to me.
It should be covered under warranty. (It ought to be.)

Hope all goes well for you! Had another member that had to cancel also due to issues with her spyder.

Next Time
The next time any of the Rolo System Laser Alignment affiliated people that may come to Michigan please note!
Please IM me here so I can sign up. I could also make it to the Toledo, OH area also since I am Metro Detroit.
My dealer; C&C Sports in Brighton, MI, said that the place where they get their Spyders pre-assembled from do some kind of Bosch alignment before the Frunk is put on the Spyder from the factory.
But my 14 RT-S sure pulls to the Right some.
I've observed it on many different surfaces when driving it.
Hope you all come back soon to Michigan!

(If we get more than enough Ryder's committed for an additional day, so much the better.)
Also the cost would be $120 to do the alignment if only enough people for one day. They also said they would need some flat level area to do the alignments even if it was a one car garage or similar.
How many people would be interested that have not had their Spyders Laser Aligned yet by this great system? Like I said, we would need at least 7 or 8 committed people and someone willing to sponsor a suitable location to have the alignments done at here in S.E. MI.
Is it too late? I know of one other person I could get as well.
