    Default MODS.

    So over the last few weeks, I have gone from knowing nothing about taking a Spyder apart to doing the following:

    Installed on my 2016 RTL

    Led Head and Foglights

    Led Saddle Bag Markers

    Vertical Run/Brake/Turn Leds

    Large Led American Flag (Big thanks to Reggie at TRICLED, I must not have gotten the first on cleaned very well and it did not stick on one side, he was nice enough to replace it for me.)

    Brake Flash Module ( I love it, I selected the most annoying flash mode and if it don't get your attention nothing will)

    Entertainment Harness

    BRP XM Sat Radio

    Bluetooth Dongle

    And the cramp buster (not that big of a deal) but sure does help on longer rides.

    Have more to install on the front but taking a little break, going to lay down some mile then I'll get back to it next week.

    Used the one from TRICLED, it has about 10 or setting you can pick from.

    Default Great mods!

    I'm also interested in the break module. Plus a lot of other things I can't afford! Lol. My BF has been installing most of them but it does seem wrong that I spend money and then that creates work for him. If I could install them myself I'd buy 'em a whole lot faster!

    You have to look at it this way:
    The farkles make you happy...
    When he installs them: you are happier!

    He gets to spend his time with you, when you're happiest!
    I think that makes him a winner also!

    There are only two known cures for Farklesosis:
    1. Bankruptcy
    2. Death at the hands of an enraged Spouse.

    Hi JulieMarie,

    Re: My BF has been installing most of them but it does seem wrong that I spend money and then that creates work for him.

    Does your BF understand the barter system? If he does not, have him get in touch with me.

    Not sure the actual part number of you go onto TRICLED.com (site sponsor) look under your bike (ie RT F3 whatever you have) and look for brake module. I will get a video up tomorrow evening have a family reunion in the morning/afternoon

    Default Easy

    Electrical, not much of an issue been an electrical/avionic tech/instructor/maintenance supervisor on helicopters and Unmanned aircraft for the last 20 plus years. It's more of getting all the stuff off to get to where it all belongs.

    Default led installs

    Does Tricled have videos on their website to help with the led headlight/foglight installs? I got mine along with the Vader lights yesterday and am itching to get them installed.

    Default Clear instrcutions

    Their instructions are pretty clear, the head and fog lights are super easy, the left side is fog light is a little me difficult but not too horrible.

    Is it not amazing how predictable Cindy is? When someone is on this site and has a problem she is on it and all over it.

    She takes good care of her customers before and after the sale and does it the old fashioned way, exceeding customer expectations. This has become a lost art and kudos to Cindy and Reggie for the work they do!

    I cheated, and watched Lamonster's video. As stated it is a relatively easy install, and watching the video helps with the cover removal.

    Unfortunately, we don't have video of this yet.
    Installing headlights on RT and F3 are easier than foglight.. just the way the foglights are located, even for us it takes a little longer and more effort to change the foglight at the shows / at our shops.
