Installed some Carbon fiber on 2 places that have really gotten scratched easy. The black paint is terrible. Got it from WrapMySpyder . They have great videos on how to install and FANTASTIC customer service ! Probably get the knee Carbon and switch panel next.
Looks great! May have to do that also.
2021 Sea To Sky, 2020 RTL
Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people...... but our benefits don't?
I did the opposite - started at City +1 and notched it up as I went along. Then I tried Sport+ just for giggles. Holy rocket ship Batman. I knew it would accelerate - I didn't know it would accelerate THAT fast! I'm comfortable with City +4. Higher in the twisties.
I see no need for an ECU reflash.
I agree, not leaning towards the ECU flash either. We had hoped to get a bit more time in the saddle and tweak the levels a bit, if the weather cooperates we'll get there! Yeah, when it hit Performance +, as they say up nort (the UP) Holy Buckets!
We stayed in Quinault last sat/sun, should not have taken I5 on sat though... lane closures, ugh! Came back through Port Angeles, took the ferrie (kingston/edmonds). We were refused service at Taylors Restaurant (port angeles) for not having a vaccination card... that was a first us. We are in healthcare and inline for our booster shots. Oh well, was an amazing stay and ride through a beautiful area.
Thanks for that. I never did like I-5 from Olympia to Everett, and I never cared for Taylor's restaurant either.

Yesterday took wife with me on my RTL. Rode from yakima wa to stevenson wa to eat. Had some rain on way there an little rain on way back along the colombia river.
Today took wife with me on my spyder from yakima wa up an over blewit pass to wenachee. Had lunch an came back thru quincy to vantage to ellensburg an back to yakima. Couple good rides. Tomorrow take both spyders to prosser wa. Eat lunch an then go back to hanford gate, turn there head west back to yakima.
Started installation of a pair of LEDs to monitor my turn signals.
They will be buried in the mesh of the speaker grills located in plain sight.
I can't see the dim/tiny OEM arrows in the Speedometer face.

Changed oil and filter. Checked all fluids and filters.
Went for short ride. Getting ready to put her away but going to have nice weather all week so not yet.
Received my Stage 2 Elka front shocks from Lamonster today (in just 4 days). Spent 3.5 hours on installing them on the 2014 RTL. Only 45 minutes for the right side; but took me 2 hours for the left side. Really, Really hard to get to the upper 15mm bolt head to hold while using socket on the rear facing nut! Took a solo test ride; then test ride with wifey.
Fantastic improvement on over all ride and especially on tight (fast) turns. They were set up perfectly for my needs by Lamonster's techs. Very Pleased!!

Plugged the battery tender in....gonna be a week or so before the weather straightens out again. Got everything I need to change the oil for its long winter nap too.
Installed Baker Built Wind Wings, installed the thing that holds the trunk lid open, have the new bake tire ready to put on soon, Ordered 2 new from tires from Tire Kingdom. Getting ready to ship my RT to Europe in late Feb. to ride Europe agin next summer.
Installed the Pedal Commander on my 2018 F3-T. After taking it for a test ride, the only comment I have is that it felt like when I went from my 63' VW bug to my 69' Dodge Super Bee! I'm at City+3 and the feeling in some twistys was, to say the least, exhilarating. Had thought about a ECU flash but don't need it now. Going to try Sport setting on my weekly ride this upcoming Saturday. The PC and the BajaRon anti-sway bar has turned this machine into a beast. The PC is worth every penny. Lots of adjustment to match your ride or mood.
Life is not good or bad, it's just Life. Deal with it!

If you think it's a beast now, wait 'til you install aftermarket performance shocks and car tires, if you are still running OEM Kendas. Woo Hoo buddy!!!

Changed the Lamonster Belt Tensioner Roller with 15k miles on it. It still looks like it could another 10k+ but I had the side panels off to swap the seat strut and I'm too lazy to do it again in a few months (year-round rider).
It is in hibernation until next April! (off topic : getting the sled ready for the season).

I finally installed my pedal commander on the 2016 F3T. All I can say is WOW! It really wakes this bike up. I know it doesn't give me any more hp, but I always knew that 115 hp on a belt driven bike should feel peepier. And it definitely does. I have the cat delete pipe on mine, so there is a slight loss in off line tq., but if I ease on the bike and then slap it at about 3k rpm, it just burns the back tire at will, all the way through 2nd as well. It seems like the additional shock from full throttle overwelms the nanny and allows it to spin without being neutored as bad by the traction control. I know it is a new thing, but I am sure I will go through the remaining 1/2 tread life of my rear tire pretty quick. Then I will calm down and settle into a grove. All I can say is I am truly impressed. I will be going back and seeing if there is a way I can route the wires so my commander can be placed in the storage box on the dash, like my buddy did his 2020 RT Limited.
