Slick51, thanks for the advice.

Aside from all of the tech/mechanical stuff mentioned, ride your own ride. If you get all of those suggestions done and you're still being left behind, then what? Are you going to try to keep up with your fellow riders even though you're not comfortable doing so or get rid of the spyder? By all means, do what you want to the spyder. IMHO, 1st priority is safety. 2nd is fun and it sounds like you're currently wagering both to keep up with your crew.
Once you get everything completed, please provide an update. Until then, safe travels.

Check to see if the dealer uses the Rolo/Outlaw laser alignment system. If not, don't bother going there. The BRP service manual method just doesn't cut it. Check the link in post #9.

I was somewhat scared of my 2014 early days. I took a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. They teach a lot of great safety info but they corrected my riding through curves. Look ahead, not down. That was the best info I got. It made the ride for me, feel safe and I learned. Now I can go through 90 degree turns at 90. OKOKOK. I play it safe and still know the Spyder is actually in charge of the ride.

Things are improving. The weather is getting warmer and I've been riding more. I live near Dayton, OH and we rode from home to Indianapolis, IN. this past weekend. It was approximately 1 1/2 hours each way. I was more relaxed.

Yep I've learned it's far more noticeable on 3 wheels.

I started riding seriously in 2006 when I got my Goldwing. Even yet I have to often fight the urge to watch the road close in. What I've done when I catch myself looking close in is pretend there is a rabbit running down the middle of the lane about 300 or more feet ahead of me. I keep my eyes on him and thus see the whole scene up ahead. It can be a challenge keeping that rabbit in view while going around curves!
