    Default A Clean Slate No More...

    I installed a new California Scientific Tinted Shorty Windshield over the weekend, and then I jumped on the freeway to test it. Much better than the stock windshield at speed; the buffeting from the old windshield was really strong, and the new windshield tamed it right down.

    No, I don't wear shorts and flip-flops to ride in. Only to sit and grin for the pic.

    Just installed the same one a couple of weeks ago. I had the same experience as you.
    This shields a keeper for me.

    Default My 2016 Spyder RT Limited - Let the farkling begin!

    I'm shifting this topic to my new 2016 RT Limited. I bought it last week and it's still virgin territory. So, I've been busy online ordering goodies!


    • Doc Humphrie's belt tensioner, and the tensioner too!
    • Lamonster's LED headlights and foglights
    • Tricled's dual color DRLs, upper and lower
    • Tricled's best safety package
    • Calsci's RT medium windshield
    • Wrapmyspyder's Barbedwire lightning set in red


    The wrap kit and tensioner adapter have arrived, but it's not warm enough to put on the decals and no tensioner yet. This is probably a good thing, seeing as how this is Christmas Eve and my sweet wife would murderate me if I was out there and not helping get ready for the invasion tomorrow!

    The LED's in the back look nice, but what do you want the driver behind you to do when he sees them? It looks like you had the brake on for the picture, but the lights look like they are at a low level. I see the bright factory brake lights If this was to let the person behind you know that you are braking, it doesn't. The front lights really increase your visibility and look sharp as well. Personally, I went with the Custom Dynamics High Mount Brake Light with low light for visibility and the brighter light to tell the person behind me that I was braking.

    I'm going a different route this time on my new 2016 RT-L. The first set of pictures is my 2012 RT-L. I really like TricLED's DuaRT saddle bag rear run/brake/yellow turn signals, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. It will be my next purchase, and perhaps the CD high mount brake light or the equivalent.

    Default Starting the Wrap

    I selected the Barbedwire Lightning wrap in red reflective material from wrapmyspyder.com, and I was finally able to work on it a bit this afternoon. I'm stoked!


    I added some pics to my album - Myron's 2016 RT Limited

    Here's a few pics that I took tonight, after installing lights and the Wrapmyspyder reflective decals.
