    I added the 2" riser from Lamonster's, added BajaRon's sway bar, also adding the running and turning leds for the front fenders to the 2020 RT Limited.

    Picked up an F3S 2 weeks ago. Added a Battery Tender connection and a Blue Ridge windshield.
    This pic is from the day I got it.

    Discovered that I have Magic Mirrors on my Spyder. Discovered while troubleshooting my fog light problem. It was a very pleasant surprise, since I was going to install them anyway. I've only had the Spyder a few weeks and have not tore into to it to this extent until yesterday.
    Anyway... my fog light problem is just bad bulbs. I ordered LED headlights and fog lights from Lamonster and will replace them all when they arrive.

    Discovered a BROKEN plastic tab on the left hand mirror trim. Fixed the same problem on the right mirror a few months ago. WIMPY cheap plastic on mirror attaching tabs on mirrors that you had to HIT soundly to remove ( thank goodness I have the magic mirrors now). Another few ounces of fiber filled plastic on the tupperware would have saved many folks much grief about broken tabs.

    I got straddle of the Spyder about 11:00 and rode it to the little diner about 15 miles away where they have the smoked rib special every Thursday. It was a productive trip.

    Well, I just installed my LED’s in my Spyder, and wow, they sure appear to be bright....and white. I didn’t get LED’s for the driving/fog lights, and they sure look yellow. Have to take a ride tonight to see how they are out on the highway. See if they need any adjustment.

    Made a homemade passenger seat nanny switch cap out of a camp spray can cap. Now it won't depress when I have my tail pack bag bungee'd down on the passenger seat.

    Well yesterday I installed a stock 2020 RT handlebar on my 2017 F3 Limited which moved the handlebar farther away from the driver which is what I was looking for. I haven't rode the Spyder yet cause I was wanting to add a few other thing that I had bought over the last few months. Today I installed my trailer hitch that came off my 2015 RTS on to my 2017 F3 Limited. I hitch fit like a glove with no problems. Then I installed the trailer wiring harness which was more a plug and play type install. I guess the only troublesome thing was routing the cable back to the hitch area. Used plastic zip ties to secure the cable to the swing arm on the left side. Next was installing a new saddle on my Spyder. It is a Laam seat that is very well made and I really like it. Tomorrow I will take her out and see if I like the new handlebar location and also break in my new Laam seat. I bought the handlebar and the Laam seat from a two fellow Spyderlovers here on the forum.

    Well I was at it I also remove the front sproket cover to inspect for the dreaded red dust. I'm happy to report that there was no red dust.

    Still using the one I made from the old electrical breaker panel blank. No problems at all with it. It has been on there for about 6 months or more now.

    Didn't do anything to mine, but I just put an RLS Torpedo muffler on my wife's '19 RT. She likes it....too bad it's 50* and raining..

    Adjusted the alignment of the drive belt, and the tension of same. I now have .084" clearance to the flange, between
    5/64" and 3/32". The spec says 1/32" to 3/16". I've test ridden it and it seems to be holding position through some
    aggressive corners and 75+ speeds.

    I also reset the tension to 180 lbs. sitting on the ground and 160 lbs. in the air. It was at 205 lbs. sitting on the ground
    and 180 lbs. in the air. Very smooooooth now, with no vibration whatsoever up to around 80. It had a bit of a buzz before,
    not bad, but you could feel a little vibration. Now it's smooth as glass. Even the mirrors are clearer. Seems to feel a bit
    snappier, but that's using the butt-dyno, and we all know how reliable those are. LOL

    Changed the oil in both RT's yesterday, 2016 and 2019. Probably not going to get too many more miles this season, so I got it done while the weather was nice. By Nov 1st I'm sure there will have been some salt spread on the roads, and once that happens, it's over, til spring. Warm this week though.....

    Fitted my new Spyder Extras belt tensioner. Bought it a few weeks ago to fit before my last trip but didnt get to it..

    And used my Big Bear Ezylift for the task. Doesn't fit under my '17 RTL, so I have to use my ATV lift to get it onto bricks, then get the Big Blue under the RTL and jack it up. Has anyone got a source on say Amazon for a 1/2" Square drive to hex spindle that will fit a 1/2" drill chuck? I had to resort to using a speed brace and while awesome exercise for my arms i'd rather use the power drill.

    Earlier in the week, installed Lamonster Mirror locks and belt tensioner.

    2020 RT mirrors are solid as a rock (for $23 delivered - not worth the 3+ hours riding and waiting to have dealer do it). Smooth riding at all RPMs and speed.

    You can find a full set of hex drive to 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive at Harbor Freight, that's where I got mine.
