• 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.

Lets talk Mods!

I have a 2012 and I would like to know something.

What is the one mod that you have done that you could not go without and why?
 
2012 RT Limited

Utopia Backrest.
That is the one thing I would not go without that I have installed.
It is a hard choice because without the Seal Floorboards, I still was not comfortable in the leg area.
So I guess I gave 2 mods I would not go without.:bowdown:
 
thats a good one

I have done many mods to my rs and the one I love are high way pegs. Have not even had it a year and we have put 12k miles on it and the pegs let you move around . But that is only one of many!!!!!!
 
The Elka shocks just changed my ride! We have bad roads here in Quebec and with the stock shocks, I was bottoming out on some of them.:yikes:After the Elkas the ride was 10x smoother and I gained height on the front end, very rare that I bottom out now! Other great mods, but you only asked for one.

For me..!!

BajaRon sway bar...our 2012 RS handles sooo much better after that mod. Have done allot, store bought and custom but that made the biggest difference...why your only allowed one..??:roflblack:
 
Aftermarket Shocks, Fox on the ST and Elka on the RT. Elka is the best. Fox was cheap and better than stock. Made ride perfect on both bike and now can hang turns without tapping brakes and no dragging.

i'd still have to say that my ISCI floorboards are the best...
Then BajaRon's Anti-SwayBar...
Then the ACS suspension parts...

JUST ONE!!!!

I know , It almost impossible....:roflblack:
 
For handling: get BajaRon's sway bar and crank up your front shocks (that part is free!)

For safety: a high mount brake light and mud flap lights (they really make a difference).

Tough decision, but actually the TWO mods I would HIGHLY recommend are:

1. WebBoards (floorboards)
2. Bajaron's AntiSway Bar

:yes::yes:
 
My favorite mod:

for my riding style I can't imagine having to ride on only stock foot pegs, so seal floorboards or KewlMetal highway boards , diamond R floorboards, and all the others available make the experience that much better.

what ever seat you end up with, Corbin,stock, or ultimate, the "back rest"will be the biggest improvement.


And for ride performance, I believe either Ron's sway bar or high performance shocks like Elka or Works Performance is the ticket for enjoying the ride through the twisties as you can take turns so much more aggressive, with out any workout. seriously!

So you need three things, no ifs ands or buts.
 
My favorite mods

I love my lights .. Love my floorboards .absolute must the Steve bigger brake pedal. Oh then there are the Elkas..cup holder..various ram mounts and how could I not list the spyderpops gotta haves of: belt guard, bumpskid, heat block. Oh gees and my IPS key holder..Corbin seat for the gas door alone !!! And right near the top: custom paint job!!! Oh dang and then my flag holders.. Not sure there is an end to this list..maybe I should find the mods that I consider wasted $ on...
right now that would be the new GPS. Darn thing has gotten me lost several times..so it has been relocated from my dash (perfect location) to back trunk (another perfect location until I getter smarter than it) :banghead::banghead:. Gees over 50k non GPS miles .. Me thinking wasted $ at this point!!!
but then I got this latest rack that I can now add my special coffee maker to my must have to travel list!!!
do mods ever stop? I think not..at least that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!! :yes::yes:

Ditto - that is without a bout the best bang for the buck and a MUST have if you think the RT could handle better.

How do you like the Kewl Metal boards? I am really considering floor boards as my first mod.
