If I may piggy back off this post - our Spyder GS has some horrible tire wear on the front so I'm thinking it'll need a Laser Alignment. How does one find a shop that does it? I'm in Indianapolis, IN. Also, what can one expect to pay for a Laser Alignment? Does having it done before replacing tires make sense? Or should it be with a tire replacement?

follow that link above. i'd get the new tires and alignment at the same time. the can am shop in mineral wells wv quoted me $85.00 + tax. of course any additional issues would be more. my trike has less than 4,000 miles so it shouldn't need any parts in the suspension replaced.
Closest and probably the best place for lazer align to Indpls. is Maximum Power Sports in Peru--about a 70 mile drive. Had one done there in 2014 and was $120. Phone is 765-472-2423.

Thanks for that. I'll definitely give them a shout.
did a 250 mile round trip ride today to all season power sports in mineral wells wv. they had a mechanic ready to do the laser alignment on my 2012 rt-s. mechanic told me it was out 7/8" overall. I know it always felt like the trike was fighting a crosswind and there was always backward pressure on my left hand grip as if the bars were trying to turn left. well, it's all A-OK now. tracks true, takes the turns better, just a better ride overall. I walked into the shop while he was doing the work and he showed me the procedure for setting up the laser system. it jived with lamonsters procedure near as I could tell. anywho, at only $85.00 + the governor it was money well spent. I got the trike on the 19th of November and I've put right at 800 miles on it but the last 125 were the easiest with the new alignment. .
Anyone know a place in the Northern VA or DC area that does it?
I live in Alexandria, VA and NO we dont have laser alignment in this area. The closest one is Imotorsports in PA. I had mine done at Myrtle Beach Bike week.

Count me as classic fast reading problems here. I was looking for info - I saw a link that said "dealerspa" - I didn't want dealers in PA. ;-) Yes, the link - if you back track once there will provide local dealers. Thanks!
Too bad for me the closest one is 150 miles away in Calif. Or Vegas at 400 miles

I was just quoted a price of $179.00 to do a Laser Alignment on my 2012 RT Limited by a local Dealer. I thought it sounded a bit inflated, but after reading here, it sounds like being gouged.

Yes, amazingly I did. Unfortunately all are 200 miles away, unless they are 300 - not convenient. I considered the possibility there are others that do reverse trike alignments besides the ones on the list. Apparently you do not. I'm okay with that. I'll keep looking. After all front end alignment is not rocket science.

Arent you fairly close to Las Cruces? I thought the dealer there does them.

Yes I am. Yes, Motor Sports of NM is there. I don't know what their capabilities are. For reasons I rather not go into on a public forum, I've been a bit leary of them.
But, you got me off of dead center. Thank you.
Rather than call them, I'll drive over.
No, I don't understand why I get stuck sometimes. Although it is likely it just pure slug. Sigh
Looking at some of the pics posted in "Lamonsters" tech album it appears that there are 2 different laser alignment systems. Would someone care to expand on this?

Don't know what system was portrayed in the photo you posted, but the ROLO alignment system has been endorsed by BRP and they encourage their dealerships to use it. The listings on spydercomfort.com/dealers are for ROLO alignment dealers.
