Thanks Len and everyone at Cowtown!
Due to all the great things I have read here about Len and Cowtown, I decided instead of driving 1.5 hours one way to my nearest dealer where I bought my Spyder (which I have not been unhappy with), to make the 4 hour one way drive to Cowtown for my first 3,000 mile service to see what all the positive comments were about in person.
I called Cowtown and asked for Len and he was very friendly and assured me they could get me in and out on Saturday so that with my total of 8 hours driving I could make it back home by dark, so we set an appointment for 9am this past Saturday. At 9am they took my Spdyer and began service on it, while I meanwhile was welcomed by several very friendly employees of Cowtown and quickly felt at home there. It was great to meet and talk Spyders with Len while the service department worked on my Spyder.
While service was performing the oil changes and doing my needed updates (throttle body, etc), Len was showing me the “High Performance” RT they had there and all the upgrades that came with it, etc....... and my Spyder that went in for only oil change and updates, came out of the service department within a couple of hours with these strange things on it.

All I can say is “thanks” Len, I am glad I listened to you. I had not been that unhappy with my 2011 RT’s feel after setting front shocks at 5 and using 20lbs in front tires, and had no intentions of adding Elkas, but I now see what all the fuss is about on Elkas. I took it for a 5 hour ride on Sunday with winds 15 to 25mph and gusty and tired both highway 75mph riding passing big rigs and some Ozark curvy rough back roads and they have really made the ride so stable and make you feel totally in control.
I just want to add my praise to Len and all the folks at Cowtown. What great, friendly, quality service and they are so knowledgeable about Spyders. Again, I have no issue with my dealer, but am so pleased with my experience with Cowtown! Made my 8 hours of drive time well worth it!
