What did you do to your Spyder today?

[Dasmoetorhead]

Rode the TN section of the "Snake" this morning. I'm getting pretty used to the Spyder, and I feel a lot better in the turns than I did a month ago.

I don't miss 2 wheels in the least bit. So glad I decided on this F3s. I love everything about this machine. I found out though, that if you ride one of these things be prepared for lots of questions from riders, and just about everybody. You will become a Spyder Ambassador.

Installed my position 5 Ultimate floorboards. Thanks Troop! I’m taking a trip to Sierra Vista, Az this next weekend to get the laser alignment done. After the Pedal Commander, Verdestein tires, & BajaRon's Ultimate Sway Bar, it rides/handles, much, much better.

Installed an Apache 4800 case on the Lamonster PackRack. Thanx to SL member Haze for info, pics, and answering questions. Getting both Spyders prepped for the 2-day, 1,000+ mile trek to Spyders in the Ozarks.

[BigPoppa]

Installed my heli-bars (thanks Troop!). For some reason my right side bar didn’t want to slide in all the way (even tried lubricating it with oil) so I had to use the old rubber mallet to tap it in. Not like I plan on removing it anyway.

[Haze]

Oil and filter change. Added Show Chrome magnetic drain plugs from LaMonster.

Ran some errands. A total of 10 turns and less than 7 miles for the day.

I got a Sway Bar with Links installed on Saturday( 9/9/2023) at SpyderQuest @ Lake George, New York.

Also at SpyderQuest I had them check the alignment on my 2023 F3 LTD Special Series. The Rolo Laser Alignment was not needed. I wanted something to go by from the get go.

Got out for a nice 50 miler. The weather was sunny and cooler than it has been.

I put a General Altimax RT45 on the rear today. Replaced the original Kenda with 7000 miles on it because the center of the tread was worn exclusively. I am running 18 psi and it seems to ride good. Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I feel like the bike handles better with new tire.

Rode my 2012 RTS to my dealer and they did a valve check and put new gaskets on the valve covers. I also had them do a belt adjust and alignment after I put a new belt put on and had no way of figuring out the tension myself. Got some led bulbs too.
Spyder felt great on the way home and vibrations hardly noticeable after the adjusting.

[Quickdraw]

Removed the pedalbox that was giving me the limp mode error and installed the pedal commander. I set it on sport mode +4 and man it has way more pep than the pedalbox sport mode.

[RodO]

Oil and filter at an indie shop yesterday and I added Ride-On in the tires today.

[Haze]

Assembled a cane rack tied to the package rack. Adjusted all tire air pressures.
Rode to AAA to get a Trip Tik for Carson to Bellingham future tour.
Remounted my frunk caddy.

[Dasmoetorhead]

I replaced the stock plastic/resin Sway Bar end links with the Lamonster links. I just didn't like the idea of plastic on my suspension system, and not sure if I actually need an updated Sway Bar. I'll ride like this for a while and see how it goes. They only took 10 minutes to install, and they're very well made.

Took advantage of a sunny nice 70* day yesterday. Got in a short 25-mile ride. Got a few future projects stacking up in the shop:

Gustafsson 17" windshield - https://bikescreen.com/collections/c...th-gp-hardware
RLS Cat Delete - https://www.rlsexhaust.com/collectio...delete-muffler and
SpyderPops BumpSkid - https://spyderpops.com/the-original-...els-all-years/

I took the loaner bike back to the dealer to exchange it for my bike that was in for service. I left before dawn to avoid some of the Philadelphia commuter traffic. I took the scenic route from my home to the dealer in central Pennsylvania. It was a very pretty ride once the sun came up. I rode through Amish farm lands, up and down the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains, across the Susquehana River, and into Michaux State Forest. Once the bikes were exchanged I repeated the ride in the reverse direction. It was a beautiful day to ride. Total round trip time of 10 hours, about 340 miles.

Rode to AAA to get a Trip Tik for Carson to Bellingham future tour..

Holy smokes….”Trip Tik”….I remember those handy little booklets. I would have guessed that they discontinued those years ago. I am happy that they still have those in their offerings..

[Lee0123]

Went for a short morning ride on a beautiful day. Dropped down to ride around Valley Forge National Park. Afterwards we rode through Chester County and through 5 covered bridges. Knox Covered Bridge, Gibson Harmony Hill Covered Bridge, Sheeder Hall Covered Bridge, and Kennedy Covered Bridge. The final bridge was Rapp's Dam Covered Bridge located on Rapp's Dam Road. Bridges in Chester County are painted white instead of the traditinal barn red. 78 total miles for the day.

[Pikester]

Rode 675 miles from Deming, NM to Sierra Cycles in Sierra Vista, AZ to get the laser alignment done, and then back home to Rio Rancho, NM. That was a long day!

[NorwegianRT]

Took out the halogen bulbs in my running lights (low beam) and put the new led bulbs in
Wayyy better light on these dark roads over here. High beams are so far very good, so I will wait a while with those.

Installed Lamonster's cat delete, bar clamp with RAM ball and foam grip covers. Oh, and I washed it... we got caught in the rain last weekend near Lassen Park and hadn't had a chance until today.

So why'd you wash it again, if you got caught in the rain??

Rode up to visit my son in the Blue Ridge mountains. Approx 80 mi RT. Nice day, but I had to don my real leather HD Shovelhead jacket because the mesh jacket flows to much air this late in the season. Fall is hear in ETN.

Did the new sway bar links improve your ride any?

I am trying to decide if I want to start with just the links also.

[Deanna777]

I took a short ride.
