    I agree with you on the front shocks. And I am surely going to put a Bajaron sway bar on. Hopefully he is working on making shocks for 2014 and up models soon. Congrats on the new ride.

    Before you spend the big bucks on new suspension perhaps consider Baja Ron's suspension adjusters for the 2014/14/15 RT's.

    Everyone I know who has fitted them has been amazed just how much diifference they make.

    Comments to me have been "I installed them, took it for a ride on a twisty road close to home and boy they are worth every dollar." and "Would recommend anyone who owns a 2013/2014 model to do this cost effective upgrade."
    and "the best dollars I've ever invested on my Spyder RT."

    Ron is of course a well respected site sponsor.

    Anyone have photos of them installed on their 2014 or newer spyder? I am curious to see how they mount.

    They fit exactly where the cam adjusters did on the earlier models. They slip down over the shock body just under the spring. It makes so much difference , why BRP stopped having the adjuster on the 2013/2015 RT's I do not know. It was standard on my 2008 GS! Max adjustment is 8 turns and so far everyone I know who has them has set at 2 or 3 turns depending on body weight and load.
