I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and do it..! I’ve read so much about the much improved handling that I just had to do it ..!

had my exhaust installed @ Spyder in the hills.
You are gonna love it! Want to increase the fun factor exponentially? Add the Power Commander from Slingmods. I have that, car tires, Elka 2s, and Ron's sway bar. I do not name my vehicles, but if I did, I call my F3L Squirt, as that's what it does in traffic and in the curves.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.
I finally got my Elka Stage 2 front shocks installed yesterday and was able to get out and ride a couple of hours today. I have 2,800 miles on the Spyder and I had already installed a Baja Ron sway bar. It would have been better to have installed the Elka shocks without the sway bar upgrade to really get an idea of how much they help.
Adding the shocks on top of the sway bar upgrade didn't give me the same increase in handling as when I added the sway bar, and I was expecting that, but it does feel more planted and stable in turns now. Especially in turns with some rough patches/bumps in them. It is also easier to keep your line through turns.
The biggest change is in how it handles bumps and rough sections of road. They just soak up the bumps and I found myself looking for rough sections to see how smooth it handled them. This made the upgrade worth it for me. The front-end feels way more planted over rough sections of road.
The other thing they did is make me realize how crappy the rear shock is. The fronts were soaking up the bumps and he rear was bottoming out. I guess I'm going to spend the money on upgrading it now.
Is I be was informed that there is a 6-8 week backlog on them ..!!! Geeeze …

No, but I’ve had the opportunity to chat with a guy that purchased them and he was very convincing..! That and everything I have read.
