    Default Did you keep your bike stock ??

    Not including adding minor mods like cup holders or phone holders, did you keep your bike the same as it rolled out of the factory ??

    Nope for me also. I like the led's and the visability that they give me. Also, the work that MountainMan Art did for me is outstanding!

    I normally add comfort items such as driver or passenger backrest. I did finally bite the bullet and added a swaybar to my 2016 f3T and a pedal commander. The pedal commander is definitely going on my new RT, but I will wait on the upgraded swaybar. I rode with stock sway bars on my bikes for so long, that it is now low on list of mods. The stock suspension is really pretty good, and is way more than most riders can push to the limits anyway.

    Most of my changes have been made for convenience or for handling purposes. Car tires, sway bar, and shock stiffeners for the handling. Wiring and plugs for our heated jackets, a 7JUrock windshield, and a cup holder for the passenger. The only performance modification has been the addition of a Pedal Box.

    Oh H%ll NO...........

    Far too much to list but the ECM flash, new tires, and the stiffer anti-sway bar sure brings the enjoyment to another level.

    You'd be surprised just how many Spyder/Ryker owners keep their bike stock.

    I'm also a member of the Spyderlovers FB page, and there are A LOT who refuse to mod their bike, for whatever reason.

    Trust me, I don't get it either ....

    I believe that those who keep their bike stock think that they can have a higher resale value if they leave their bike "unmolested".

    While that may be true, I still don't get it, LOL.
