    Default Baker belt tensioner

    Having way too fun at SF 2016.
    had the Baker belt tensioner added.
    it made an improvement at high speed.
    I am happy and the people running the booth are wonderful.

    Thanks for the write-up on them... I've been "on the fence", but look to be toppling onto the "Gonna get one" pile!

    Default vibration

    I could always feel the vibration on my left foot at 60-75 MPH.
    We took it out after the install ( they do it in 20 minutes) and went to 80 without any problems.

    Now to install all the Tric LED light will take me more than 20 minutes I am sure.
    More testing today.
    off to Peel's Ferry then Branson.

    ride safe.

    Default

    It reduced my vibration by approx 50% but the vibration is still noticacle in the approx 3200-4000 range. I quess 50% reduction is better than no reduction.

    Default Nice...!!

    I have had one (tensioner) since I got the spyder and find there is a bit of adjusting to get the best results. You have the belt tension and the tensioner to deal with and the one I have is adjustable as well. How many pounds you put on the tensioner and adjusting the belt tension is like getting the belt properly aligned. But once you do it is great.....
