The lure of returning to 2 wheels overcame me and I have traded in the RS for an HD Softail Slim. I truly wish I had the capital and garage space to keep both as the Spyder will be missed. My Spyder...

I would agree with this but would add that if I had a dealer I trusted, I'd buy a 2013, if I didn't I'd wait for a 2014. There are far more people with trouble free 13's, they're just quiet, but the...

Kudos to you Ken, great to hear a great dealer story!

If it happens (big if), I think it will affect pricing not on the RS but on the RS-S and particularly on the ST and RT's. Probably not the base prices but on option packages, as these are usually big...

I agree, I'd obviously check with the site sponsor to be sure, but with an '08 this seems an apples to oranges comparison.

Wow, I figured with the dealers' reputations, it was the receptionist's hair color.

Popular right now? As I recall every biker in "The Wild Ones" wore black and that's from 1953. I think black has always been popular because it looks cool and hides dirt and stains. I still wear...

I had a friend of my daughter's, kid was 19 years old and a new rider. He had taken the MSF class and his uncle was following him after he picked up the used bike he had just bought. He had on a new...

Must be, I had 4 vehicles turn left in front of me in less than 10 miles. One of which turned so close in front of me she had to turn onto the left side of the street, because had she come past the...

I concur, I've purchased his swaybar, oil change kits, and Amsoil, always good prices, great service, and you deal with the man himself!

I have a 2012 RS, but added the Fox shocks so it is functionally identical to the RS-S. I found the difference with the sway bar dramatic. I go much quicker through curves (instinctively now) and...

He was the Green Lantern.

All of the replies on this thread are valid, but this one takes the cake. This is complete and accurate. I have nothing to add, other than follow this advice to the letter.
Good job ex winger!

I hocked my fiancé 's engagement ring for mine. It was worth it!


Disclaimer - Any claim of hocking a ring is strictly hyperbole intended to Indicate total satisfaction with this product.

Congratulations, great looking bike. I for one would greatly appreciate if you did post your evaluations and comparisons. I am very curious how the handling compares with the Spyder. It seems that 2...

Average price seems to be just under $300 (and as it turns out mine was average) so yours was a little high but not ridiculous. If your setup was good and you're happy with everything post the 600...

Dr. Martins short engineers with ankle supports. Super comfortable for riding and walking and they last forever. I got in the habit of wearing these on 2 wheelers, and while I don't see the necessity...

This advice comes from experience, not from my Spyder, but from owning a 2002 Indian Chief. That bike had issues that would make most of the Spyder complaints seem trivial (5 transmissions in less...

Excellent point, in my haste to defend the choice of a half helmet in general, I neglected to address the man's question (oops). I have a couple of half helmets and one that stands out for comfort,...

Last I looked my half helmet was DOT certified, good in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the US Virgin Islands.
If a half helmet sucks because it only covers 4% of your body rather...

Great old joke, my Dad told me that joke 45 years ago and he said it was an old joke then. Probably goes back to WWII (since it's always a German), but if you haven't heard it, it's still new to you!

Wow, $985.00 for a side panel? I don't mind paying somewhat of a premium for a quality, innovative product, and I realize that's Canadian dollars, but still that's higher than giraffe testicles! No...

Just as well, I'm way overdue apparently not going to go on my own.
Plus this leads to a question, 20K+++ posts and a prize phrase like "peeing sparkly rainbows" doesn't provoke any interest. This...

Oh and BTW, I agree with Wylie, if you're an owner with a legitimate gripe feel free to vent. If you're a passerby just leaving crap on the trail, who needs you?

"peeing sparkly rainbows"

I had this once, urologist recommended expanding my diet beyond jelly beans, m&m's, and various flavors of Fanta soda. Worked like a charm.

Well considering CFC production was outlawed in '94, seems like a long shot.

Also have a '12 RS manual and not one problem or regret. '13s are a little more of a gamble, they've made some real improvements but it seems there are some first year bugs present on some bikes. If...

I concur, anything over a couple of weeks with no product and even worse, no communication is ridiculous. I had already written off this company's products based on previous e-mails. A real shame...

I have Spyderpops and in all honesty I can barely notice a difference.

What I find impressive is that even when I've gotten involved in topics that had no business here (I was dragged in by Bob Denman....think about it, if 1% of his posts were inappropriate that's still...
