    Cool I would like some help with my 2014 RT Ltd I just bought

    I am a newbie to the forum and have just bought a 2014 RT Ltd. I got it 3 weeks ago and just hit 1000 miles today. My question is what is the first mod(s) I should do? I have already added an Ultimate seat but want to improve anything else I can for better handling and my wife wants armrests for the back. Which armrests are the best and what are other important mods I should add for performance? I have also added a form of highway pegs of my own design which I really like, so I have the highway peg and seat options the way I want them.
    I have been riding 2 wheelers for 40 years but this is my first 3 wheeler and like it so far, but I'm all ears to make it better. I'm open to ideas that have worked well for other owners.

    Ultimate Seats now is offering arm rest. you can get them to match your seat if you wish. my wife highly recommends them.

    since I have a 13 RT LTD, I will let others who have a 14 give you better suggestions than I.

    Default Congrats! Some thoughts for your farkles

    on your 2014 RT Limited! It's an AWESOME machine! Enjoy!

    My suggestion is the following (from my list of farkles shown in list below):
    1. Safety (Red bolded red items)
    2. Ease of riding (Blue bolded items)
    3. Handling (Cognac bolded items)
    4. Communications (Black bolded items)

    all others per your needs......


    Here's a list of farkles I have done on my 2014 RT Limited:

    HMT 3rd Brake Light w/ Dual Converter (Safety)
    Helmet Guardian dual locks
    LED's on mirrors (better visibility of turn signal indicators)
    SENA Bluetooth (communications, radio, intercom, cell phone, etc.)
    Driver's seat backrest
    BajaRon's High Performance Sway Bar (Handling)
    BajaRon's Heim Joint Links (Handling)

    Bumpskid (Safety, bike protection)

    Netting in all compartments
    SPY 5000m Alarm
    FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster Horn
    Smoothspyder Drive Belt Tensioner (less vibration, better riding at higher speeds)
    NBV Highway Brackets with Widow Pegs


    Also, here's a link I found useful when I went from 2 wheels to 3 wheels....the do's and don'ts:

    Default Wow..!!

    can't improve on that color codes list from JLSpyder2012. He covered things pretty well. You just have to prioritize the list. What I would like to see pictures of your highway pegs. Always nice to see true custom work. Congrats on your new ryde and joining in here with us...

    Default Congrats

    I cannot add to what JLSpyder2012 listed except the adjustable handle bars for comfort. For handling the Ron bar will be the bigest bang for the buck.

    Here's to your new adventures on 3 wheels. I was where you are last year and not looking back

    You can't go wrong with riding it a while, and seeing what you really need...
