What did you do to your Spyder today?

[mcalva]

I've mounted Acerbis Dual Road handguards with 17572 mount kit. No problems with mirror view except when the handlebars are on the top, although the problem is not the handguards, but the controller set. Added some Liqui Moly to the screws.

Two days ago, I changed the oil and filters on my 2012 RT SE5 for the first time by myself. Dealer does it quicker, but hey, gotta learn sometime right?

Today I was in the garage and gave it a good wax on, wax off; and it is now shiny and looking good

Replaced the 28 month old battery on my 2020. It was throwing a sporadic VSS code and sounding different when cranking. Put it on a battery tender until fully charged and it was still so dead the dash would not even light. Dealer was the only one in the area with the correct battery. All is good now. Seems to even run and shift better .

What a lot of Junk just to make the intake quiet, finally got ambitious enough to do it. Now I got lots of area free around the engine.

It was a mildly irritating Saturday working on the tryke. We had three things to do - sway bar, NBV pegs and BRP armrests. We decided to tackle the sway bar first.

Now some time ago, I asked on this site how would I tell if I have a Bajaron sway bar. I was told to look for the end links - if they were plastic, then I didn't have one. Well, I'm here to say that's not correct in my case. We went through all the effort to get the sway bar out only to find the Bajaron decal on it. Measured the bars with calipers (just in case) and they're the same size. How annoying, I could have just bought the upgraded end links and done less work. So, since everything was apart and I had it on hand, we put the new one in.

Anyone want a used sway bar?

While we had it all apart, we went for the NBV brackets next. Watched a couple of videos that weren't clear enough for us apparently. It took us a couple tries to figure out what went in front or behind the bottom bracket mounting point so that everything would line up. We got it all together with the ISO pegs and it looks good. Haven't taken a long ride yet, but the pegs feel nice and give me another angle. Also I can rest my heels on the floor boards and my toes on the pegs.

Sadly, since we started late we didn't have time to get to the BRP Arm rests.

Got word yesterday that my M2 shocks are due to be shipped this week. That's going to be a serious project.

After that, I'm looking at a new seat.

Maybe I should have just bought a newer tryke?

So, someone gave you some bad advice. Of course that would be a logical thought, but as you discovered, it is possible to install Ron's bar without the end links. Just as some install his links without replacing the bar. I'm not sure why anyone would, but apparently your previous owner did. Lesson learned.

Replaced OEM air filter with K&N high flow filter. Not sure if it's gonna make a difference, but still, it's done.

Moved the seat heater switch next to the grip heater switch, Shoulda been there originally.

Wifes bike - 2020 Spyder RTL
Already did sway bar and air filter

I have never thought of that. Brilliant! I'll swap it with my garage door opener button and it will look much better. Thanks for the idea.

Installed Wilbers Shocks Front and rear with an HPA for easy adjustment between 1 and 2 up riding. Went out for a solo test ride and also one with the wife.

It is a night and day difference from the stock shocks to this.

Got around to installing the BRP armrests. The right side was a real pain as I couldn't get the antenna unscrewed so I had to do it that really hard way. But they're on and look great. Waiting on the shocks to show up so we can fix the air system at the same time. Then we'll test everything out.
