 Swaybar
New bee to Spyder so be patient. Just purchased a 2017 F3 Limitted and will ride two up a lot with lots of road trips pulling a trailer. I've noticed going down the road at times the bike just kinda drifts to the side of the road and wondering if I change the swaybar if that will help? Also how big of job is it on the F3. Thanks for advise!

I can't help with the F3 part, but on a 2017 RT, the sway bar made a huge difference. I ride 2 up all the time, and I highly recommend it. The install took about 1 hour. just make sure you get the front of the bike up high. I had 16" clearance and it was still a little tight, but manageable.

The swaybar is for cornering, the drifting is alignment. Look for a laser alignment shop near you.http://www.spydercomfort.com/dealersmn.htm

Agree...
 get a laser alignment ,check tire pressure and balance. That will help the drift...

I had already had a laser alignment and the F3 still had a tendency to wander, especially on cambered country roads. The sway bar is also known a stabiliser bar. Once I installed the Bajaron bar, that tendency to wander disappeared.
The install is not too time consuming, as long as you can get the front of the Spyder high enough to drop the bar out vertically (something like 22" on the F3).

All above are right I reckon
in order of priority
1 is check tyre pressures. Front tyres equal - better ride unless your roads have constant camber!
Then laser alignment, then sway bar if you like spirited riding
have fun
