I'm on three wheels again. Got my first Spyder for my wife back in '09. It put too much heat on her legs, even with all the suggested modifications. We sold it. When we moved to Alabama, I bought a 14 RT Limited and added tons of lighting and Lamonster handlebar risers. Sold it a year later because my wife still loes the harley sound. Went through three Harleys and a Harley trike (hated it!) before getting my final Spyder, and 15 RT Limited. Can't find a Lamonster handlebar riser for it! Wife accepts that I'm too old for a Harley dressser with her on the back now that I'm 79!

Congrats. I still would like riding a 2 wheel but kinda know when to give up. Enjoy yourselves. Life is way to short.

We are 74 at our next birthdays and ryde whenever it's warm enough. 2 or 3 long trips a summer with plenty of day rydes with BattleBorn Spyders. Keep at it!!!! I still ski ( too fast sometimes) and plan to ski into my 80s ( but i'll slow down some).

Welcome back. Glad to hear you are three wheeling again. This is the year that I am also giving up two wheeling. At 75, I don't feel safe holding my 700# machine up. My left leg goes weak at all the wrong times. :lecturef_smilie:

I will be sticking with my F3's. :yes:

'73 here. 4 years ago I decided I couldn't do the HD baggers anymore, and bought a 2016 TriGlide. Very nice tourer, but hard on the shoulders, since no counter steering. Am getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2018 T3-L as soon as the Harley is sold. Getting old aint' for wimps.

That was a typo. I WILL be sticking with my F3's. Just caught it before reading your prompt. Thank you for catching it. :bowdown:

Lamonster has a riser for the F3 models. Haven't heard of a riser for the RT models just the brp tri axe's replacement bars.
