add ons

[strictlyred]

Hello.I ride an 09 gs and love it.Yesterday I sat on the st and a rt at a dealership.. WOW... so comfortable..Unfortunatly I cannot afford to purchase another spyder right now, so what add ons can I purchase to make the gs as comfortable as the st?

Handlebar risers would be a good start.

BahaRon anti sway bar is tantamount!!

Maybe risers if you want.

better front shocks definitely!

floorboards if you want!

enjoy!!!!

An aftermarket seat is another possibility.

Comfort would be handlebar risers (3"), seat, and floorboards (with a highway position or highway pegs). My RS is definitely setup to ride more like a cruiser and less like a sport bike. You can add a backrest, touring windshield, throttle lock (or cruise), aftermarket heated grips, and a gps mount are all great for long trips.

Well, comparing an RS to and ST, the only difference (stock) is the ST has a different windshield / control section, as well as the new suspension geometry.

Plug in the choices for an RS and an ST here: http://cycle-ergo.com/ and you see the ST handlebar position is more upright and back - so a set of risers or helibars would be in order.

Also, the ST footpegs are more forward - unfortunately no mods for that, except perhaps floorboards or highway pegs

A slightly taller windshield would also make it more ST-like.

To improve handling to match that of the ST - shocks and a swaybar.

Your talking the comfort zone..so as stated, seat, backrest, risers, floorboards and windshield. The performance package is a different thing...little by little you will get there....:thumbup:

Last summer Ron alluded to the bars being available for the RT, so I pay-palled him for one. When I got it, the instructions said it was for an RS, so I called him. Didn't get any answer so I took pics of mine vs the one he'd shipped, wasn't any thicker. I installed it, THEN I get a call not to install it,was for an RS. So I took it back off in 105' heat, put mine back on mailed it back and he took almost 3 weeks to refund my payment, blaming it on Paypal.
So I finally saved enough back up to order the right one, figured I'd order some spare filters along with it. Mind you I've already ordered front pads, plug wires and a KN filter which came when ordered, so I trust him. But last Sunday morn i sprung for the sway bar again, along with the spare filters, and he said hed send them priority so I should have had them Tuesday. Weds the filters showed up but no bar. So I call him text him no answer, PMd him finally he said the post office is messing him up sent me a tracking number showed it was delivered to New York. I had scheduled the install for thurs afternoon thats when I had time. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this from him. Just a little concerned is all.

I mentioned seats.

BRP has a comfort seat. $500 to $599 depending on model.

Corbin: a site sponser. $750 and up depending on extras.

The internet is full of other options.

So I got home from some errands after going by the post office to check on my sway bar that was supposedly delivered in New York yesterday and lo and behold, there it is! Geez! So mañana that's my 1st project! Yay!

There have been seats for sale on SL and then add a backrest and bar extensions. You will enjoy the comfort items as you add them.
