New White RT Limited ----- What are your top Farkle?
Hello,
I just ordered a 2015 Pearl White RT Limited. The dealer gave me 12% off accessories so I ended up getting a chrome tri-axis adjustable handlebar, black heated comfort seat, and chrome side wind deflectors.
Besides a BajaRon sway bar....what are your top 3 farkles you have on your RT and why?
Thank you in advance!

1) Aftermarket Seat, we have Corbin Seat, Backrest, Trunkrest, passenger Armrests and Cupholder. Expensive but worth every penny on rides over an hour for us. You might prefer something different.
2) Front suspension package... Properly balancing the Front Wheels, aligning the front wheels, Bajaron Swaybar. We are average size riders, if you are light the sway bar may be not noticed as much. If you are heavy, the swaybar will be an asset and should likely be supplemented with preload adjuster from Bajaron also.
3) BRP HID Headlights, will work on yours, but requires non standard mounting for the ballasts.

I like your choices on BRP accessories, that is pretty much what I had installed on mine before I picked it up. As for aftermarket products:
1. Laser Alignment (come on out to Las Vegas and we will get you Squared Away)
2. Baja Ron Anti Sway Bar
3. Lights: Replace the reflectors on the front fenders with LED lights (Tricled.com)
High Mount Brake Light (Custom Dynamics)
4. Baker Built Air Wings
Why?
1 & 2 Will greatly enhance the handling of your Spyder

SURPRISED THIS WASN'T MENTIONED
A " Utopia " backrest......It's very adjustable, ( un-like BRP's ) and mounts very easily, plus it's about 1/2 the cost....just sayin......Mike

Thank you for all the great recommendations.
What do you all think about the Akrapovic exhaust? I have been watching youtube and has a deeper sound.
Also, what about the adjustable vented windshields? I know the FT windshield has vents built in.

Enjoy the farkling...just an FYI...you can farkle, farkle and soon you will find something else you just reallllly need!!! (Oh yea I am a salesman's delight!!)
For you all that have cups. How do you ride and drink? I have a full-face helmet. Seems like that would be difficult.

Are Baker Built Air Wings similar to the BRP side wind deflectors?

1. BajRon sway bar for bike performance and comfort ride $$ if paying to install $$$
You never said what type of riding
If long distances here are some great items.
1. Shuberth c3 pro helmet lightest, quites, built-in sun shade most air through it. $800.00
2.sena 20s blue tooth much better than the Shuberth neck roll system.$450.00 for 2 helmets
3.Rivco highway pegs very simple do it your self $250.00
4. Luggage rack and a 15" x15" netting.do it your self $80.00
5. luggage netting inside of trunk lids and side bag lids. $12.00
Helmets great for short rides also. Buy it and you will never have to buy a second or upgrade

Also if you are driving in a windy area, put the windshield down. It is like a sail.
The electric winshield was a great idea by BRP alot of people do not use it.

Only 3? You'll never be able to stop at 3!
I've managed without the air wings so far & the only light I've added is the third brake light from Custom Dynamics. But all the above a good places to start.

So the adjustable vented windshields don't add much value?

I have the F4 windshield and use it a lot. It adds a cooling breeze when opened fully and I have used it to help flow rain by adjusting the opening to blow the airflow upward.
I will never be without one again.
Not sure how well the BRP adjustable one works as I have no expeareance with one. The F4 uses a large Gold Wing adjustable vent in the center of the shield that in my opinion works the best.

Since you're in Woodbridge, I suggest checking this link and calling the shop:
http://alloutcycles.com/. The ride would be worth the change in your Spyder's handling. This link is for the company that designs/sells the Rolo system: http://www.spydercomfort.com/index.html.
The bill for my alignment was $125; prices vary.

That is why I took my cup holder off. I would rather stop. get off, stretch and move around a little to get a drink.

Yep!!!
I'm with you on this. I'm getting off the bike every 1 1/2 to max 2 hours to stretch and hydrate. Drinking while riding seems to be a distraction that I don't need.
