• 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.

Looking for after market muffler and shocks for 2013 RS Spyder

I would like to add a little growl to my Spyder I like the sound of the Harley, not quite that loud anyone purchased an after market muffler. Also I am 170# and will not have a passenger. Any shocks out there that ride softer then Original Equipment shocks?
 
Shocks

What setting are your shocks on ? Choices are 1 thru 5 . 5 being the firmest. Adjust them down until you like the ride. Procedure is in your owners manual, it's very easy. Any aftermarket shocks are VERY expensive.
HMF pipe is very good bang for the buck, at 300 ish. They look great and sound great.
My mistake. The shocks were changed for 13. Either way, the adjustment procedure will be in your owners manual. Soften them up a bit, and see how you like it.:thumbup:

Half agree..!!

:agree: you have to try the adjustment. Comes from factory set on 3 so set it down one and ryde a bit if not go down another. As for the pipe...had a Hindle which sounded great with added power but rattled to pieces too many times. Now running a Yoshimura R77 which is even better. Great low end power and I have the baffle in to be a bit quieter...:thumbup:
 
The instructions to adjust you shock springs are in the Operators Guide on page 48. This is not done right it can cause poor handing. It's not as easy as on my 2011 RS-S SE5. BRP changed from a cam adjuster to locking rings adjuster. You might want to have the dealer tech to show you the first time. That's IMHO.

you might try the cat delete to improve performance and get you a sweeter sound without cost of new muffler
 
A 2013 Spyder RS does not have adjustable shocks. That is one of the changes in 13. I bought a lightly used set of RT shocks to put up front and they made a big difference. I'm sure there are plenty of RT guys that have swap their shocks out and have the stock ones laying around. Just post a wanted ad in the For Sale/Wanted section, that's what I did.
As for the exhaust, Coz nailed it! HMF is by far the best bang for the buck. I just sold all the extras I had on my RS about two weeks ago otherwise I would have been able to hook you up with everything you need.

Do you have a juice box? I have just put the cat bypass on and am going after JT filter so curious.

No, in most cases you don't need fuel controlers. Mostly with competition pipes etc. I have the Yoshimura R77 JT'S air filter with the k & and no controler...try it first...
