Rode to dealer for 9300 mile oil change and full service. 27* when I started out - thank GOODNESS for modular helmet, heated gear, seats, and grips.
All systems GO... no problems found.
Did advise the rear original Kenda tire had about 2000 more miles left on it.
Had the top box shock replaced under warranty - works much better than the original. But I'm keeping my notched tree twig I used to prop it open - just in case.

They are not the OEM size. They are 165/60R15 and I got them at Tire Rack.
There are only a very few options for the OEM size outside of the Kenda's.

Not today - but this past weekend I installed a set of Tricled Afterburnerz taillights from SlingMods and replaced the BRP medallion on the frunk with a custom design I bought from a guy in Canada.

Afterburnerz also have sequential turn signal LEDs, which is really nice.

Did the first, and a most important, mod to my 1-week old F3S... added a battery tender connector to the battery. I left the connector up by the coolant tank, under the service cover.
Then promptly came back inside the house, as my hands were almost numb from the cold.

Changing out OEM to BaJa Ron's "ULTRA 3 Pcs Sway Bar"
Finally got around to changing my OEM sway bar to BaJa Ron's Ultra 3 piece. Got my RTL lifted about 20 inches placed solid on my jack stands. Knowing this wasn't high enough to get the OEM bar out, but was fine for getting it disassembled and dropped down on 1 side. Looked over the situation and said to myself, "Self, Are you ever going to put this Old OEM bar back on?" The answer was , "Hell NO!" So, a 3 second go at it with the "gas wrench" and it fell out of there in 2 pieces. Everything went back together as fast as my 72 year old "bag of bones" would allow. Job well done and can't wait till our weather straightens out so I can try it out. "Come-on Spring" Bill

Finally cleaned the Spyder after I'd hit the dirt which was left on the road by a farmer. It already smells a little bit in my garage
It's always a challenge cleaning the bike with high-pressure out of the wheelchair

- Because the new shocks are finally doing what suspension is supposed to, I cant stop looking down at the front wheels hugging the road.
- To finally have the ability to adjust compression and rebound settings is right up there with holding an overly full bladder for 10 hrs and finally getting to wee
- I have not played with any settings (seems a contradiction I know from the above comment) because the calibration by Wilbers based on my weight and riding prefs is spot on. This will change when my copilot comes for a ride who's weight has been factored in too
They are pronounced as Wilbers - but you should pronounce the same way Homer Simpson pronounces Doughnuts - that mesmerized tone he uses.
You make me jealous one if the things I truly want get , I just fitted a new Led H7 low beam to replace the Halogen lights which my left one kept blowing which is the same as Europe here which is your fog lights over there.

Moved the pegs to position #4, installed the SE Performance Adjustable Brake Rod Kit, and adjusted the brake pedal to work with my wonky ankle.
Sooo much more comfortable!
Then I didn't ride it because... Winter.

Installed a cat delete pipe and Akrapovic muffler on my F3S (thanks MotorcycleDave). Have not had a chance to test it out yet; only idle and revs in the garage and driveway. I'll reserve judgement until after I've had a chance to take a decent ride.
