    Default 2014-21 RT OEM Shock 'take-offs'

    I am in the process of buying and then installing a Baja Ron sway bar and links. I inquired with Baja Ron about shock spring adjusters and their added value. He said they would help BUT suggested I "replace the 2013 shocks with 2014-2021. Many times you can find a good set of take-off OEM shocks where someone has gone to Elkas, etc. You can post on Spyderlovers.com or look on eBay. Spyderlovers will probably give you the best deal, if someone has a set."

    Does anyone have a good set of take off 2014-21 OEM shocks removed during an upgrade?

    The 2013 RT has probably the worst set of OEM front shocks of any Can-Am Spyder. And that is saying a lot! You're much better off getting a good take off set as mentioned above and then installing my shock adjusters if you need them. BRP made some significant upgrades to their OEM shocks in 2014. And have made additional improvements in smaller increments since then. They aren't Elka's, of course. But a very good Bang-For-The-Buck improvement for a 2013 RT owner.

    Good Luck RogDawg!

    Sent you a PM....FedEx claims only the label was created and they do not have possession of the package. You may want to check with them and see.

    Ron would that be true for the 2012 shocks on my Rt?
