• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

:welcome:....:congrats: ...... I think before you " add mods " etc. Ride it for a few thousand miles and then decide if the suspension isn't adequate .... consider a " Utopia " back rest, I've had quite a few for my many " cruiser " type bikes. .... Heck you may decide you don't really like the Spyder, loading it up with a few thousand extra's will cost you plenty if you decide to sell ..... jmho .... Mike :thumbup:
 
For me, and YMMV, WOLO horn so grandma or grandpa will hear you when they try to change lanes into you and their hearing aid batteries are dead.

Back rest, I used the Show Chrome, because I feel more ‘attached’ to the machine.

Cup holder, I used ‘Spyder to go’, because my riding clubs tend to ride to a destination, stop and bull**** (Er, I mean talk) for a while, then ride back and I like a hot cup of tea when listening to bull**** (Er, conversation)

Other than those, not much needed.
 
Blueknight911 advice is spot on.

That being said what I added was the BRP accessory LED center light, backrest, and comfort seat. Aftermarket fender lights, Ron bar (off my F3), and Zumo XT GPS. Will be adding rear trunk lights, and KOTT grill inserts.
 
I'm looking for the grill inserts, where did find the KOTTs? Those recessed radiator grills are a dog to clean. I'm a bit concerned about the radiator fins getting enough air with the inserts....
 
Ride it. Put some miles on it and then accessorize as your needs/wants start to come to your attention. If it were mine the first change would be tires, but that's me.
 
As a few others have said, give it about a thousand miles before doing anything mechanical. If you have to farkle with something...there are lots of lights you can add on. They look nice and give you extra visibility.

At 500 miles I put a different seat on my F3L. So far its lights and a seat. I even am liking the short windshield...so far. 7500 miles and counting.
 
I see SpyderPops is out of stock on the grill inserts, but now I know where they are. Pricey, but probably worth it.

If they are as good as those for MY '14 - '19, which, knowing Harvey's quality will be at least as good, they are worth every penny.
 
I did the fender lights (turn signals) the center light and cyclops light, for safety (visibility) GPS mount center handle bars (ram mount) for long trips, cup holders front and back, Kott grills (though not real impressed with the install method and fit) but they will protect the radiators. Looking at driver back rests now as my back starts to hurt on long rides. And passenger arm rest for the misses. Mainly upgrades for safety, visibility and minor comfort improvements, the bike comes with most everything else you would need.
Haven’t found the need for a sway bar although maybe some day, mine came with a belt tensioner so don’t need that ether.

You will figure out if there are other mods you want later, but like most have said drive it for a bit and decide what you need then. Remember safety first comfort second.
