I would definitely check out all the sponsors on the home page and check out the long list of mods available.

Love the color choice! Let's see, first mod..... a comfortable seat. If you're ryding 2-up, make that seat a double, with arm rests.

You're good to go . . . now all you need is a low interest gas credit card!!! :roflblack:

:congrats:

Improve the handling. Get some aftermarket shocks such as Elka's. Bling like lights and such can be added after you get the bike safer.

come to CUBA, next month (SPYDERFEST) There will be plenty of vendors there to help you with mods, and everything else :clap: plus LAMONT will be there.:ohyea:

[ARtraveler]

:welcome: and :congrats: on your new ride. My vote for a first mod is a seat. Lots of information and opinions in the threads. The extra brake light is also a good idea.

[dltang]

:welcome::congrats: and way to start with a loaded question. Be ready for a boat load of answers. I don't have an RT so I can't speak entirely to your question, but I would think HID lights.

[NancysToy]

:welcome: The Raw Magnesium RT is a real classy looking ride!

LIke others, I vote for the ESI Mudflap Lights and High Brake Light. I also would make a RAM mount for my GPS, Powerlet outlets, and a fuse block to power my comm system and heated gear, top priorities. We each have our own needs and wants. The RT is pretty well equipped without any doodads.

[Oklahoma Spyder]

Since you have a 2011 model you don't need shocks, as someone said. Just adjust them up to your favorite stiffness and put 19 or 20 pounds in the front tires.

[CyncySpyder]

Teddy & I say
:congrats: & :welcome:

We would suggest the entire lighting systems from the site Sponsors
Like Suggested Above. But its best to do them in combinations, plus "SAFETY SHOULD ALWAYS BE FIRST" IMHO:thumbup:

And the RT series LACKS almost totally in night time side visibility "IMHO"

Teddy Got me to put Blue GloRyders On His :ani29: & We Love them & They Show Up our Wheels Like Nothing Else :firstplace:

We'd also suggest

Sorry, got carried away there:dontknow:
:pray:Guess thats kinda like Teddy's Wish List :pray:

[fispyder]

:welcome::congrats:on the RT

[SpyderAnn01]

:congrats: and :welcome: love the magnesium color. As others have said the RTS comes with just about everything you need. No real reason to spend extra money on it.

[tofriendscreek]

:congrats: :welcome: You'll love this forum. Enjoy your Spyder!

[SpydermanCT]

:congrats: and :welcome:

I also agree with a lot of the posts about getting better night time lighting. Making sure others can see you from all angles is a must. I installed all the lights made by ESI for my RT-S and I'm thrilled by the quality and ease of installation. Out of all of them the HMT brake light is my favorite. After you install it you will be convinced it was installed at the factory, it fits perfect.

[Spydeb]

:welcome: My first mod was a bigger windshield. Enjoy the FUN!

[medic 1]

:congrats: and:welcome: our 1st mod was the high brake light from ESI. Everyone knows your brakes are on it's bright and looks like it came with the spyder.

[Questions]

Thanks a bunch for all the input. Looks like safe lighting is the way to start.I am really looking forward to this spider experience

[Yazz]

come to CUBA, next month (SPYDERFEST) There will be plenty of vendors there to help you with mods, and everything else :clap: plus LAMONT will be there.:ohyea:

:agree: You're not that far from Cuba. Pop up for a day or two and see all the different mods available. Talk to the Spyder owners and see their mods. We're a friendly family. Then make your choice.

Personally, I vote for the sway bar...

[Trickie Dick]

:welcome:love the color:thumbup:

[cousin]

:congrats: on your new :spyder:

so many to choose from!! start at the top of the list and go for broke:2thumbs:

Happy :spyder2:ING

[GloryRyders]

:welcome: and :congrats: on the new:spyder:. You made a great color choice, I like the way it can look different shades in different lighting conditions. You should try to make Spyderfest and then check out the Vendor Village to see lots of possibilities for mods before making you pick. :2thumbs:

[vtspyder]

:congrats: 1st mod? Easy Risers hands down. Riding position sucks stock. IMO. It will make all the difference as far as comfort level.

[granpa in Cincy]

:welcome: Wait awhile before mods. Decide what you want.
