    Default Anti Sway Bar

    Thanks to everybody that suggested that I install the BOJARONanti sway bar. WOW what a difference it made. I had to go to the dealer inBensalem yesterday, that would be north of Philly. Its about a 40 minute ride up RT 95 and it wasvery windy. The Bike ran straight as an arrow. I had a friend help me installit and saved the $278.00. I was told that the whole front end had to come off.That was the reason that the labor would be so high. Guess I’ll be looking fora new shop. 2013 STS.

    Default No way..!!

    They install easy enough. You can pull the whole front end but don't have to. They do make a great difference and as you get used to it it gets better. Don't be surprised if you wake up the nanny going into the corners..enjoy your ryde..!!

    Default RADIO

    I understand that all of the wiring needed is under the handle bars. If I pop for the RADIO, is that something I can do myself or dose it have to go to the shop. They want 1000.00 installed.

    We have an RT and don't use the radio that much since getting bluetooth for the helmets. We stream music from our phones to the headsets. Headsets are also available with FM radio built in. Talk to Motorcycle Dave for great prices. Just a suggestion of course.

    Default Bluetooth

    I have a Helmet Bluetooth, guess I'll have to learn how to use it. She who commands is starting to get a little annoyed about the bucks I'm spending. Just popped for the comfort seat with backrest for her.

    Received it this afternoon( Baja Ron anti sway bar) , installed it this evening, (easy install on 2010 RS), wow.
    Totally different, stability and handling noticeable immediately.

    I've been told the shop manual states that the Frunk needs to come off for a Sway Bar install. Absolutely NOT TRUE!

    Other than the 2008-2012 RS (which is very easy to pull the Frunk but still not necessary), I HIGHLY recommend that you NOT pull the Frunk! Not only is it a waste of time, energy and money if you're paying for the job. But you risk damaging all that pretty Tupperware. And for what? For absolutely nothing. There is zero advantage and quite a bit of disadvantage to pulling the Frunk on anything but the 08-12 RS models.

    Most dealerships (that know what they are doing) will charge 1 to 1.5 hours labor for the job.

    Doing your research here on Spyderlovers can save you a TON of money, get you the mod you wanted the 1st time, and make your entire Spyder experience a much better one.
