    I also talked to the gentleman at Wick-it Performance before having my ECM flashed. The clutch engagement point was not brought up, nor the need for increased oil change intervals. I couldn't decide...

    17 to 19 inches would be for the pre '20 Spyders. The 7.5" measurement sounds about right. I have my old one, but I'm not able to measure it at this time. There is a thread on this site concerning...

    Requested both the t.s. and shift pad from Dave. I received them in a couple days and installed them. What a difference! Especially the turn signal button. You can be assured the signals are...

    According to Shawn Smoak, in his YouTube posts, if the dealer is using the proper and required Loctite number there is no need for it to set up. The unit should be rideable immediately.

    Sure wish someone had a replacement gas strut for the '20 RTL trunk. Replaced the seat strut with a stronger one from McMaster-Carr, but have been unable to find a replacement for the trunk. Mine is...

    If you're going to insulate the wall and ceiling, leave the vents open to allow ventilation of the space between the ceiling and the roof. Especially important here in the Midwest and the temp and...

    Don't know what I'm doing wrong. My 2020 RTL always gets 32 to 33 mpg. Much of my riding is on two lane roads at 60 to 65 mph. Interstate driving at 70 to 75 drops the mileage 1 or 2 mpg. It has a...

    Had stage 2 done by Wick-it and all I can say is-----what a difference. Normal riding and throttle openings don't seem much different than stock. But get serious and it comes alive and normal...

    I used a clay bar on overspray on my truck. Black on black truck. Couldn't really see it, just feel it and it was light. Don't know how heavy your spots are or if it will work for heavier spots. But...

    I've not had a problem with dirt or moisture. The cover fits very snuggly. A dab of dielectric grease should help ward of the occurrence of such.

    After watching the Shawn Smoak video, I checked mine and it didn't lock. As he shows and mentions, the amount of movement needed to correct this is minimal, 1 or 2mm. Barely discernable. I can't...

    I just received my strut from McMaster-Carr. I ordered 9416K14, which is exactly the same dimensions and stroke as the original. I also ordered the 6465K26 eyelet which does indeed open the seat...

    Thanks for the info K80. My research had resulted in the same number for the strut from McMaster-Carr. But hadn't thought about the eyelet, as I was going to use the one from the factory strut, but...

    Thanks to all who replied and suggestions for sources I hadn't thought of. My belt tensioner from Lamonster should arrive in the next couple of days, which will necessitate removing the same panels...

    Has anyone replaced the gas strut on their '20 or '21 RTL? Mine barely holds the seat open with nothing on it. I have a Butt Buffer and have to take it off everytime I fuel.
    The original strut was...

    Not looking for any credit, but I posted pics of the above subject when I installed ROX risers shortly after purchasing my '20 RTL. Just hoped it would help someone else.
