    Looks like you might have gotten your question answered, but I'll still share my initial impressions about your original question:

    I was going to toss an argument into the mix, but realized how old the thread is, and decided to simply ask a question.

    For those that have any "throttle enhancement system": I am not going to...

    When we got my wife's '17 RT-S, we both had problems going over about 45 mph. Changed tires (Vredestein Q5) as the stock Crapendas were shot. That was a BIG help. Enjoyed the ride to Maggie Valley...

    My van has BSD, but I only notice it when I turn my head to look into my mirror. :shocked:

    When I do that, I might see the icon in the mirror lit up if someone is actually there. I certainly...

    Looks like I get to be among the first responders. :shocked:

    Personally, I am going to rule out the Harley/Goldwing groups. Why? They are all CONVERSIONS. Honda never made a road-ready trike. ...

    Yet another one in the flamewinger camp here. I have a Gerbing jacket liner and a pair of older Widder gloves. Have never experienced the TourMaster jacket with its built-in controller, but I can...

    Due to a lack of gauges on top of the "tank", it would be a '75-'77.

    OK, guys, thanks for all the replies.

    IMS (IdahoMtnSpyder), thanks especially for the instructions, but they were a day late. I left my sister's house on the 8th, after trying to tune the...

    Overall, I prefer electric brakes, but there are times when hydraulic surge brakes make more sense.

    Electric brakes require a controller. Usually, it is in the tow vehicle, but as Jdr00ejr noted,...

    Thanks, "B", but I see that your bike is a 2013. I have heard (but don't know for SURE) that they changed the radio (and possibly its location) in 2014.

    The flat "cable" that you mentioned is the...
  11. Where do I connect an SWR meter on a 2014 RT-L?

    I have tuned CB antennas for almost 50 years and have the procedure down just fine, but I don't have a clue where the radio is on a Spyder. Yeah the antenna is obvious, and if that is where to...

    You have to be careful with the term "best". Some will insist that the best brake fluid is DOT5 because it's a higher number than DOT3 or DOT4. The problem is that DOT5 is NOT compatible, and...

    I don't remember exactly where, but some localities have determined that having enough air in the tires is a SAFETY issue, therefore, it is illegal to charge for air.

    The only time I would put a cover on a bike on a trailer is if the trailer will NOT be moved.

    Really? I guess I have gotten so accustomed to using the brake before leaving Neutral (in either direction), I never noticed that you don't have to. I'll have to try it this afternoon.

    I have no experience with beads, but it is reported that they replace weights, so it won't hurt.

    Just in case, I would mark where the weights are, so you can put them back, if necessary.

    Have not been on that particular ferry, but back in ‘20, we rode the Badger across Lake Michigan. I was on two wheels, she was on three. About 20 other bikes on the trip. They have a special area for...

    I don't know about the '13 RTL that Fire34 has, but my sister's '14 RTL and my wife's '17 RTS both have auto-levelling.

    The base model might not have had the auto feature, but the S and L trims...

    Yes, it does.

    Personally, I think the "hard/soft" labeling is misleading. It should really read "high/low" for ride height.

    You can test this at night. Park some place that is about 50 feet...

    Hopefully the boards will work, but if you do have to "release the tongue ...", please make SURE you have the wheels blocked IN BOTH DIRECTIONS and also have some bracing under the trailer to HOLD...

    Probably not 'common' or 'recommended', but certainly 'possible'.

    I have seen the "10-year-rule" for MANY years, and in multiple brands.

    Navydad said it quite well, but there is one point that I did not see listed. Yes, parts availability might be a factor, but...

    The FRONTS???

    That size (225/60-15) is better-suited for the REAR tire.

    Yes, it will probably fit, but your speedometer accuracy might be off a bit.
