New Ryder 2 questions

[Rawhide kid]

Woohoo! Got my registration, title, and plates friday finally. Started ordering some farkles last night. I'll try some questions here but may start new thread.

I want to order the baja Ron swaybar and links to install, and also the lighted bumpskid.

1. Should I do the swaybar first for sure or does it matter? Will I have to uninstall the bumpskid to put the swaybar on? $650 or so for both, so may wait a bit to purchase.

Ordered drink2go cupholders and rivco foot pegs so far.

2. I also have a small dog (poodle size) that LOVES to ride. Was hoping to fit a tank bag on and remove the top for him to sit in. Haven't found anything yet. Any advice?

Delaying buying a driver backrest for now til I know I'll keep my seat.

lots of monsoon rain here lately so it's been tough to find a good time to ride without risk of getting totally soaked!

This arrangement doesn't sound to safe.

I checked for dog harnesses to see which were the safest, after my gf said Subaru was involved with the testing. You might want to check out the harness here, and see if it's adaptable to the tank bag you are interested in:

I may look further into it since I'm looking for a harness for the dog's car seat.

Good point. I do I have harness for him that we've used on many bicycle rides. Plan to use same one for the spyder. But I need place for him to sit. Bicycle basket won't fit!

Once installed the bumpskid should be easy on/easy off if you install the swaybar second.

Cannot offer you any advice about the fur buddy riding along.

Your idea is good about checking whether you keep the seat or not.

Enjoy your new

on being race ready..!! you can do them both at the same time, or one at a time in no particular sequence. As for the tank bag...Nelson Riggs or Kuryakyn have some choices but have not seen pups ryding that way. Seen baby car seats, baskets, outrigger kennels, baby carriers (shoulder harness type) but never in a tank bag...pic's if you find the right one. Good list you got going...

Another question.... For JT's dash mount bar, will dirt or rain hit my iPhone if I use the X gripper attached to the bar? I would think some but not sure how much. Worries me.

I I like the idea of the bar though. I Like things that don't permanently alter the bike.

Jt's bar is at http://gnipsel.com/spyderstore/index...&product_id=50

thx!

I have no advice on the parts, but look up CyncySpyder on the dog issue. He takes his dog (Teddy) everywhere on his .

Congrats on the Ryde. Enjoy.
