Shallow socket off Amazon and just a cheap import wrench from Northern Tool. Don't overthink it - you'll only use it a few times and it's plenty strong enough even if it looks like crap.

I counted 210 Spyders/Rykers at the BBQ. Should be more than that tonight.

Weather has been gorgeous!

We're headed out from Texas tomorrow morning for a leisurely 3-day cruise through Arkansas on the way to Springfield. Maybe we'll see some of you on the way! We'll be easy to find on our one of a...

Stuck to the underside of the seat

I put these on the upper outside edges of my mirrors and they seem to work pretty good. Would also recommend the mirror lock things to reduce the mirror vibration.

Neither me or my wife have issues with the backrest when riding in back. I'm the larger of the 2 at 190lb and 5'9".

I had used a pneumatic impact on mine...took them right off. I had started with a ratchet and said to heck with that!

Hmm I might need to look into this tire. I recently put a Vredestrian in the rear and I'm not getting enough traction. Running 19 psi I need to try 17 and see if it helps. If that doesn't do the...

That didn't stop me from balancing my rear tire indoors though this last weekend! :ohyea:

You'll be fine but will probably want to upgrade the rear shock...which is a pain to replace since you need to take off all the side plastic. You'll probably want to replace the front ones as well...

When removing my rear wheel yesterday I noticed it didn't have a cotter pin on the rear axle. This is a 23 RTL. When I got the axle off I looked closer and noticed the axle only had 1 hole drilled...

LOL I did exactly this earlier today. Started with a 18" breaker bar and said screw this. Broke out the 1/2" pneumatic impact and took those 5 rotor bolts off in a few seconds.

When new, even a lot of cars tend to wander - especially on grooved concrete. It takes tires 300-400 miles or so to break in. Having said that, I got rid of all wandering after installing a sway...

Oh wow hope you're ok. Oddly enough I've been in the Texas heat all day in my garage removing my rear tire as well and replacing the rear shock. Tire is out getting put on now...doubt I'll put it...

There is real easy trick to getting those phillips head plastic rivets out (at least for the 2 in question in this post): Use an appropriate sized phillips head stubby screwdriver obviously. But...

There's really more than 3 must haves for me, but in ranked order they would be for me:

1) Backrest (OEM)
2) Passenger armrest (OEM for RTL)
3) Ultra sway bar
4) Helibars
5) Quatracs
6) Misty...

Couple weeks ago I was doing the 15mph hairpin turns on the Million Dollar Highway at about 45. But NOW...well, today my M2 shocks arrived! So soon I'll have the perfect combo of Ultra sway bar,...

Lol last day of our trip and what happens? Wife "loses" my $200 pair of insulated waterproof gloves. Oh well, live a little learn a little! I made her clean the Spyder today for penance.

My solution (unintended) was to put a sheepskin on the seat and it's shaggy enough I never see the gap now! Out of sight, out of mind!

Wife and I will be there for our second road trip on our 23 RTL. We just got back from a 2400 mile round trip to Colorado and it was a blast whenever we ran into another Spyder. Hopefully got all...

Lol I know the feeling. I made it through the sway bar install without issues. But man...the oil change. I think I cracked a rib laying on my side on the garage floor! Not kidding!

I use Tidal streaming from my phone to my Sena headset. I keep a few playlists and albums downloaded in Tidal for when I'm out of cell range.

That's from RAM

Rule 1 of road tripping - don't get a ticket! 1100 miles...I've only gotten a single warning so far! :ohyea:

24" on my 23 RTL

I haven't noticed anything with mirror interference - but I just installed them yesterday. Thanks for the tip about the security option for the arms.

Oh, and the Queen's new fur coat came in:

I've driven it before...after the first week of snowfall! It's spectacular when everything is white and the road is still open.

3/4" to 1" LONG - not 1/4 x 1". 1/4" thick screw would be too large I think. These would be closer to something like #6-8 maybe?
