Love my 2013 RT-s want to address some minor issues and opinions wanted please

[jmeyers278]

Okay I have a little over 250 miles on my 13 RT-s and here are my issues so far. I need to keep me and the admiral's right feet from catching fire. Secondly, I would like to minimize the body roll around corners. By myself it isn't too bad but with the two of us on there it leans a lot. Finally I would like to get some more air on me and the misses. It was 90 here today and we were pretty warm. Other than that we love it (new ultimate seat is awesome). Thanks a head of time folks!

Baja ron sway bar and or elka shocks.

For more air on you you might want to look into baker air wings.

Heat coming from a 2013, there are tons of threads on that issues, should be easy to find.

Have to agree..!!

:agree: just add that spyderpops (sponsor on home page ) has solutions for the heat on the right foot..congrats on the new ryde..!! :thumbup:

Be careful if you want to block the radiator exhaust port by the right foot. 2010 thru 2012 you could eliminate the bottom panel and the air could exit downward. 2013, the panel is fixed and you have to drill holes or do something to allow air to escape. Not as simple. Good luck!

I suffer from some of the same problems as you on my 2013 RT. And I've also probably spent way too much money try to fix them. Here's what is finally working, even though it's not perfect:


- Baja Ron Sway bar stops the rolling and makes riding easier.

- Getting the pipes wrapped too care of some of the heat on my ankles from the pipes running next to them.

- Blocking the LOWER hole has finally taken a lot of the heat off my foot. I was reluctant to do this, but I live in the desert and have been riding in 90 degree temps like with no problems so far.

- The BRP Adjustable air deflectors help a bit. Maybe not as much as the Baker Air Wings would but they look better on the bike and do offer a noticable increase in air flow when opened.

- And finally, after going through 5 pairs of boots, some expensive, some not, I've found that a suede leather desert boot combined with fire retardant/heat resistant socks (tan in color) help a LOT. The boots and socks don't absorb heat from the sun, the socks do their job, and with everything else combined it makes the ride livable.

EZ fix here. No mods to the Spyder either: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?60181-Hot-foot-fixed&highlight=foot+fixed
