Belt Stabilizer

[Roadster Renovations]

I am experiencing intermittent vibration in our 2014 RT. From reading several of the comments here and on other threads, it appears the DOC's is the preferred choice. Where would those be available? Are they a DIY install for someone who has been turning wrenches on motorcycles since 1968?

Thanks for asking. We have an earlier video which is just about the same as the unit now. All instructions are very detailed out and easy to follow. You can even contact us if you need questions answered. Just go to the video section and scroll down.

Thanks for wondering about our Belt Stabilizer. Our Belt Stabilizer is built out of Aluminum black powder coated with a gas pulley spring. These are made to work as a stabilizer not a tensioner which in the long run will cause less wear on the belt because it is not adding any extra unneeded/unwanted tension to the belt itself. Once installed you will get rid of 80-90% of the vibrations you once was experiencing. We use a larger pulley than most on the market which reduces the amount of rotations. These have been on the market for at least 4 years and we have never had any complaints that they do not work or have broken. These are always a top seller at Spyderfest mainly because we do installations however these are simply and easy takes less than 30 minutes to install. I would also like to mention right now we have our Belt Stabilizers on sale for ALL Spyder models take advantage of the savings until the end of the month the RT version is only $199.95 plus FREE shipping. If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-451-9464 or shoot us an email at [email protected].

Many of the ryders that have installed our Vibration Damper have been able to actually lower the belt tension, reducing wear on the belt and still getting rid of all of the vibration. At it's highest rate of pressure on the upper (tension) side of the belt, it only applies about 15 lbs. We explain that since ours goes directly where the vibration is it doesn't need a lot of pressure to work. It is like putting your finger on a guitar string to stop it's vibration.
In the year that we have produced this, the highest mileage reported has been 40,000 miles. Many, many ryders have reported over 20,000 miles. We warranty the roller/bearings for 2 years and have yet to have one fail. The rest of the unit comes with a 1 year warranty and after that every single component is available. Our goal is for that to be the last VD you will ever need.. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: (sorry, couldn't resist)

Vibration

I don't think the SmoothSpyder will work on the RT.

I have had the Smoothspyder on my 2012 RT with over 20000 miles on it and it has worked exactly as I had hoped,little or no vibration

I had the BRP idler installed 18,000 miles ago without a single problem. BRP even warranties the belt if there is a problem. The BRP idler is EXTREMELY well made with both a made in Japan bearing and a heat treated bolt. The single bearing design is because of tracking issues and not cheapness. For $60.00 which includes installation and warranty you can beat it but if you are having idler nightmares go with a more robust (?) model like Docs. My thoughts.

Idler BRP pulley

I have heard a lot of native things about the BRP Belt Stabilizer and very good reviews on Doc’s Belt Stabilizers. I see Baker makes one also that looks good but I have not heard anything about it. Is any one using one on here? I have not notice hardly any vibration on my 2015 Roadster RT but I have been thinking about installing one. Is Doc’s the best one?

Had installed a BRP PULLEY, only have approx 3500kms bearing is loose and making a high pitch noise at highway speed. Took it off and the pulley wiggles, belt is still ok. Would not recommend purchasing this unit.
