    Default Just had my 2014 Laser-aligned...

    I was a skeptic...
    No more!
    The bike now tracks through both left and right-hand turns as if it's on a rail!
    The Skittishness is gone, and the bars just feel a whole lot "quieter", in my hands!
    Ron... you done good!!

    So Now.........

    Shun the non believers! But seriously the alignment works great, thanks to the Rolo guys for inventing this system.

    It sure is something special, ain't it?

    Amazing how much difference something so (relatively) minor makes to the ride.

    If I wait to buy a 2015, do you suppose BRP will figure out how to align a $30,000 machine at the FACTORY???? Really, is that too much to ask?

    John, I think he used Ron near New Paltz. Ron did my bike as well and the ride is about 110 to 115 miles each way on the NY thruway. As a matter of fact I might be going up there on Monday to have the warranty work done. The ride isn't to bad either. Ron is a member of the NY Spyder group.

    Ride safe!

    He said that it really wasn't off all that much... You'l have to get him to answer specific questions about the numbers.
    And I HATE to admit that I wasn't really completely sold on this service...
    But feeling how much difference it made in the bike:


    HEY DEE!!
    That that guy with the -eating grin get home yet?? He left here at about 3:30; singing songs of praise for the 2014 RTs...

    Congrats BOB, just did some rough calculations and you have almost 5.6% of all the posts made here on spyderlovers site.
    What would we do without you!

    Have several people in IL who will agree with you about the alignment changes after today.

    Ron's set up is really nice. I had his son change my tires fronts last year and rear this year. Then he put me up on his custom diamond plate lift for the laser alignment. All done at the same garage area. Both Ron and his son are very nice and are super knowledgeable and about spyders and anything with a motor. I cant wait to see the mobile air compressor in action at spyderquest.

    Ron is in Accord, NY. He is (soon I hope) going to do my alignment & install a BajaRon sway bar & heim links as well. He arranges for the dealer 8 miles away from him to do the BUDS update afterward.

    Yup! That's the dance...
    Ron'll do the tweaking, and then you take a ride to Arctic Adventures, in Rosendale... They do the "electrical magic" stuff!
    And the ride from his place to theirs... is loaded with EXACTLY the type of road that you'd want to use for checking out the new setup!
