    We recently purchased a pair of (white) 2020 Spyder RT's. I'll give dealer feedback after I've had time to cool down. My wife and I decided to make the leap to the 3 wheel world about a year ago, which is when the wheels were set in motion. Took delivery approx a month ago after settling into our new place in Lake Stevens, WA, relocated from West Salem, WI. I have been busy installing the mods and accessories, mine is almost complete... for now! Having this forum has been WONDERFUL! So many great ideas and "how to" threads, just awesome. Should have done more research on spyder pricing and extended warranty prices, where to enroll/purchase, live and learn....
    The thing about having 2 spyders, accessorizing both gets a bit spendy, but I love spending the time personalizing them for us, big brownie points from Julile for doing all the work is kinda cool too.

    What have I done so far.
    BajaRon Sway bar and ends
    Adj removable backrest
    KOTT radiator screens
    A-Arm running/turn signal leds
    Brake light/running/turn signal leds
    Double horn (118db)
    fuse block for accessories
    Helibars / handlebars
    wider brake pedal
    Garmin XT's
    Lamonster gps HB clamp mount's
    touratech locking gps mount's (not yet attached)
    throttle command's
    stubby antenna
    lamonster mirror fix
    convex rearview mirror add ons
    tender plug in
    luggage liner/bags
    super bright rear led "winker" bulbs

    Just finished most of it mine, handlebars, backrest and rear light package will be completed on julies for long weekend of riding. Just ordered the belt idler and foam grip covers, I think that'll do us for a while!

    Fixed the air suspension failure. Bypassed the leaking system ( failed compressor, dump valve with solenoid, AND numerous air connectors( one of which is a swivel ( also spelled LEAK). A few hours work with Joe Meyers advice. ( dirty in there though ). Half the job was R and R the right side tupperware. Saved many hundreds of dollars.

    Removed the rod that connects the swing arm to the level sensor that controls the air compressor ( which has been disconnected) Right now ----- simple is better.

    Installed Lamonster belt tensioner today. Noticeable vibration(s) seem to be gone between 68-73. I still have vibration in grips and foot boards. Previous owner just put new Kenda radial on it before I bought. Vibration doesn't seems to be at any specific speed.

    Went on another grandma, grandpa, granddaughter lunch ride. Granddaughter rides her own two wheeler. I love these outings with my girls.
    The new to me Elkas really made a big improvement in ride and handling, both solo and two up. I put them on just a couple days prior.

    Installed a Pedal Commander. Now I know why all the enthusiasm over it. I like that it's very controllable, anywhere from off to Holy Crap! If anyone is contemplating a reflash, give the PC a try first. With a reflash, you get what no got, no flexibility on the fly like the PC offers up. Makes like easier on my wrist too.

    Well, today being the last day of summer and having temperature still in the 75°F. range I decided to go for a short ride for lunch. I got in touch with a buddy of mine and we went on a circle ride for lunch. We stopped at a pub for lunch (food) and just enjoyed the last day of summer. The circle we did included going over a small mountain with lots of ups and downs, twists and turns and a small amount of road construction. Total distance was 137.3 kms....85 miles for most of you. A very enjoyable ending to summer. There were a lot of bikes on the road and even a couple of Spyders.

    That’s what I did to my Spyder today.

    Installed LED fog lights from slingmods a few days ago. Left side is a PITA, kinda of tight in there. Headlights will come later. I can see why some videos had the frunk removed to replace the lights.

    I tried to adjust my right saddle bag on my 2020 RT so it would open easier. Managed to snap the lever off. Bringing it in Friday to have a dealer replace.

    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.

    pretty much got everything on the list completed on both RT's. Last weekend rode to the Cascade Mountains, aprox 300 miles was great, still getting used to three wheels for sure. Decided to add an F4 shield, taller and wider for myself, Julie is ok with the stock shield. Heading to Quinault, WA for the weekend... rain or shine. Had to remove the thick foam grips mid trip, just too much girth, was causing issues for both of us. Stock feels better, might try the other brand/make, thinner I'm told. Pedal command has been great as is the additional lighting from Slingmods. Ride on!

    Forgot to mention the storage mods. Really like the mesh pocket for the frunk lid as well as the frunk and saddlebag luggage.

    Pedal Command....
    Agreed, lots of adjustability/flexibility, best/easiest mod so far with the greatest impact for riding comfort/control. After we installed them (first ride), i made a big mistake and advanced the setting to sport + while trying to turn it off, basically the throttle turns in to an on/off switch! Great piece of tech for sure, we mounted them behind the right cover (just behind master cylinder) after getting used to them and now use the app to adj. Most of the time set to City + .

    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.

    Installed a Trailer Hitch yesterday that I purchased from Slingmods.com. Installation was simple. It took me about 20 minutes at max! Very happy with the installation. **Note** - This did not include the wiring.
