...but light-years behind you in terms of riding experience. I decided that I wanted to leave the major aspects of the bike alone for a few months while I gained some experience on the bike to the point where I felt I could even have an opinion about aspects of the ride/experience that needed to change. So my first accessories/enhancements were pretty much all peripherals:
- Travel cover -- I commute with my Spyder, and unfortunately don't have covered parking at work
- Sena 20s Bluetooth headsets for my wife and me
- TechGripper + mount -- for my iPhone, which is my source of tunes and directions
- Fobo Bike for Trike tire valve monitoring system -- I just wasn't taking the time to make sure everything was properly inflated; now I have no excuse!
In the coming weeks, however, I'm planning to dive into some more significant improvements:
- The BajaRon anti-sway bar + Heim links -- I've got enough miles to believe it will make a difference, and you'll see many posts and threads on here that concur. I will leave that in place for awhile, and will probably return to that well for his shock adjusters a bit later.
- Lights! The first thing my wife said when she trailed me home from the dealer after picking up our Spyder: "You need to get a better brake light. I could barely see when you were slowing down." I'm going to be adding at least an LED bar for the top case (I have an RT as well) to serve as the third brake light, and plan also to add a lighted bumpskid and various other more farklesque lights. (I also am eagerly waiting for a new product, the BrakeFree rear-facing helmet light that will, if it ever arrives, detect deceleration and light up as an additional brake light. Now scheduled for delivery in December.)
- Added USB power source on the front panel -- I like the idea and the look of the dual USB charger at
canamspyderaccessories.com.
I spent a long time lurking here to sift through the insights and opinions shared here on these and other topics, and I hope you'll find this forum as helpful as I have. Have fun!
