Bajaron shock adjuster update

Thanks for the update... :thumbup:
What will be the primary focus of "Phase 2"?
Will it be strictly for appearance, or do you foresee any functional changes?

I don't want to speak for Ron, and this is just my opinion, but I am sure function is #1 and appearance will follow. Ease of adjustment is a priority and this has to do with the thread count of the adjuster. Also the physical size may be machined just a small amount. I am sure the overall look will remain as is. I think it looks very good and heavy duty. The next version will probably be the finished product. When Ron gets back from his trip we will go over this first set with a fine tooth comb. I know Ron was wondering about the finished look being a brushed look or a polished look. These first ones are not polished.

Thanks! :thumbup:
If it matters; please tell Ron that I like my stuff to be... SHINY!!

Well, I am going for the brushed look as the '14 RTS has no chrome on it. I do like chrome though. I just installed the 3rd brake light and it is chrome on top. gotta figure out a way to dull it down a little. :sour: Anyway,

Shiny: 1

Brushed: 1

What about that Plasti-Dip stuff?

Good Idea. Hadn't thought about that. Gonna try it. I think I have some in the garage. I used it on my 2010 on the handlebars, windshield brackets and on the foot peg metal peices on both sides. It worked good and looked good.

Another Shock adjuster ride today.

Ok. It was a little cool but I figure anything above the mid 50's is ok if I dress for it. I Took the spyder for about a 50 mile spin down the beautiful valley along the Nolichucky river basin with the river on one side and the mountians on the other. The views are awesome and I ride this loop often. BajaRons prototype shock "pre load" adjusters are doing exactly what I would want them to. I backed them off one turn from 5 turns to 4 just to see if I could tell a difference. Couldn't really tell running 1 up and not loaded, but the seat of the pants feel is that I have a firmer ride with less rocking movement with the body of the Spyder. I am liking the adjusters.

As good as I think my 2014 handles; this is sounding more and more like the last piece of the puzzle! :clap:
