Just want to give a shout out to my buddy Farmboy! We spent nearly 8 hrs. yesterday tearing my 2008 Spyder GS SE5 apart and installing a *TON* of mods...Fuzeblock, Smoothspyder Belt Tensioner, Juicebox Pro, Rons plug & Wire set, K&N Filter, RT Shocks, DZUS clips, hardwire my GPS, Spyderpops belt guard, and a few more little bits.
I am still trying to get over how much different the bike feels now! We set my shocks to 3 which actually doesn't feel that much different than my old shocks. Maybe I will try 4 or 5.
Juicebox Pro we set to 2 - since that seemed to be the consensus from folks when I posted on here asking for recommendations.
The Smoothspyder belt tensioner - WOW. A must have! A very immediate... and noticeable reduction in overall vibration! Highly recommended!
THANK YOU JERRY! You did a great job and it is truly and honor to call you my friend! :)

The Hubby put on our belt tensioners yesterday as well and you're right they make alot of difference. I had him take it a little above the 12lbs though because I still had a little vibration but it's gone now. As for the Juice Box, I love power so when he wasn't looking I popped my seat up and ran all the settings to the TOP. I maxed out every setting LMAO. I don't care if fuel is shooting like a jet out the exhaust as long as i'm screaming down the highway. Congrats Larry!!!!

Where do you purchase the belt tensioner from -- the link on our home page doesn't have a place to order , Just information .
http://www.smoothspyder.com/products.html
Found it on eBay , and looks like we get a $5 discount for being on the forum.
So $200 for this , is money well spent ?

I bought 2 of them from Jim and dont regret it at all. Made a big difference of the vibration and wish this would have been one of my first upgrades. Get in touch with jim and get U a new one. I just don't trust the used stuff like this. Especially when it's hooked up to your main belt. This a a must add for a vibration free ride in my opinion.
