    Default Looking for Spyders interested in Laser Alignments

    Just in case you missed it everywhere else, I'll post it here in Washington too!

    We are trying to gather enough Spyders interested in Laser Alignments to entice Squared Away to make another trip north with their equipment!

    Dragonrider started the idea over in the Oregon area, so please respond there.

    http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...Laser-Alinment

    1) would you be interested?
    2) Seattlish gathering or Northern Oregon gathering (or either location)

    Each gathering will need 10-ish committed Spyders. No dates or exact locations have been set yet.
    For now, just lookiing for a, "YES, I'M INTERESTED!"

    Spread the word!

    I'm not a big Facebooker, which means I don't really know how to 'work it'

    I did post on F.B.: Wa Spyder Owners, but I don't know how to 'find' other persons or groups on Facebook. I know. An old, computer fool!

    Also, looks like the N.W. Oregon Chapter of Spyder Riders has their own web site now but I'm not a member. I was gonna send that info to Dragonrider in case he is.

    We may be close to our 10 already for Seattle and maybe 5-ish for NW Oregon!

    Just FYI if your thinking of getting new front tires - best to get em before alignment

    After I get that dual fill adapter and try the tire pressure check...if that doesnt work i'd probably be interested.

    The frustrating part is my 14' RTL seems to pull to the right.....and I got mine laser aligned at ProCaliber by Shaun Smok (Vancouver, WA)

    I also need to install my BajaRon bar which has been teasing me on my dining room table for the last week and a half...due to Rugby practice and no lift to do the work.

    I have '14 RTL and put about 7000 miles so far. How many miles before I'll need to change the tires?

    Front tires tend to last 2 to 3 times longer than the back - only u know how they are wearing --- 7000 they should be fine

    If you have some really bad wear - requiring alignment u might wanna consider new tires first --before alignment

    a lot of riders are changing over to a car tire - see forum for tire suggestions - a car tire has stiffer sidewall more plies - in my opinion the Kendra tires suck

    FYI there have been many '14's RT with the pull right issue. Even after laser, swaybar, etc etc etc. What has been discovered is that the 2014 BRP/Kenda tire formula was and creating this problem. Lots of postings on here about this issue. Check those posts you might like what you find. Spyderlovers is the answer for the est people with lots of knowledge.

    I was just letting it go for now and learning to deal until i had ruled everything out....as my spyder searching powers only have 1 brain cycle.....might have to upgrade my brain so i can have multiple's lol. I'm researching light mods and it's taken alot of my time/energy. Tired of stupid people not seeing a 1100 pound copper colored vehicle and trying to occupy my lane. Brighter I am the better is all i have to say

    Why? What do tires have to do with an alignment?
    Wouldn't it be better to do tires after an alignment so your not scrubbing up a new set of tires with a bad alignment?

    Agree but open to new ideas if they make sense.
