I am a little behind the other testers but weather was a factor so here are my thoughts:
Last week I was lucky enough to be a tester for BajaRon's new shock adjusters on my 2014 Rt-S, when i first put them on (at the lowest level of adjustment) i felt an immediate difference, Spyderpops installed them for me and the 60 mile ride home was good, i traveled 10 miles on city streets, 25 miles on semi highway twisted road and then 25 miles on full Interstate. City streets ride was fun because i felt that there was not as much bounce as before, Semi Highway twisted road was initially a little spooky because my turns were quicker and my lean factor was less, but after a few miles i could tell that it was much easier to stay in my lane even though i was going a little faster than normal, Full interstate, here is where i could really tell the difference, less turbulence from other traffic, quicker, sharper lane changes, i felt like i had better control.
This week I went back to Spyderpops 60 Miles each way. I have adjusted the shocks up one full turn now and wanted to see the difference, Full interstate, good slightly more quicker on lane changes and good solid feel when passing large vehicles, Semi Highway twisted road, i started out a little too fast and almost upset the nanny because one wheel or the other was trying to leave the ground in the turns (i am one of those riders that feels comfortable with a little lean, not much lean at this setting), slowed down just a little and all was well, City Streets was good no problems and comfortable feel. I think that the one full turn setting for me is good, because on the ride back I relaxed and enjoyed it.
Overall assessment, Very Good, I think everyone that gets a set will be happy because they can dial in their own settings and adjust for different rides as desired and i think the easily adjusted fact is important because you have numerous choices, I think the folks that like a rigid ride will appreciate the adjustable factor also.
From a visual standpoint :thumbup:......................... Really nice, look like they came with the Spyder from the factory.
Just my .02 cents.
I will post a photo later today.
