I don't have a RT but the first two would be Elkas and a sway bar on any 2008 through 2012.

Gear..!!

Rain gear
Warm wear
GPS mounted
Bluetooth/intercom/tunes...:thumbup:

 

[SpydermanCT]

(1) Third brake light
(2) LED mud flap turn signals
(3) Front & rear LED side lights
(4) Right side radiator block off plate
(5) Bajaron's Sway Bar

My suggestions are based on safety, suggesting doing additional lights, the block off plate so you get some relief on your right foot during hot weather and lastly, the sway bar that will make the bike be much safer in emergency situations and overall riding stability.

Let the Mods begin .........:yes:

 

[cohoff]

1. seal pup floorboards

2. bajaron sway bar

3. 3d running/brake light from tricled

i'll have to let you know what the other two are after i get some long rydes in myself this summer.

What are 5 mods you should add to your bike for long rides. I have a 2011 RT-s

These are the top five mods that I have made to my RT to make my ride more enjoyable/comfortable on longer trips:

1. Utopia Driver's Back Rest (The number one mod for the long haul)
2. Floorboards (Allows for more foot positions)
3. Baker Air Wings (Directs air where you need it)
4. Elka Shocks (Keeps the RT much more stable in the wind and tight corners)
5. Sheepskin Seat Cover (cooler in summer/warmer in winter)

There are any number of other mods that you can make to your RT to make it more comfortable for you while on long trips. Much depends on what you value as a rider while on longer trips. I also consider my extra lighting to be very important (both front and back), but that mod applies to more than just long trips.

Hmmm not much riding on my spyder yet. But I'm my opinion

GPS
Comfortable seat with backrest
Good iTunes library
Proper clothing, neck warmer.
Extra gear, rainsuit- 1 piece, gloves,
Bluetooth for helmet with voice activated commands
Ill add more if I can think of anything else.

As you can see, everyone has his or her own set of priorities. Ride a while and see what you crave or need...then make your own list.

 

[2ndChildhood]

Utopia backrest a must!

My list from most important to least would be:
1. A comfort seat from a SpyderLovers Sponsor
2. A new windshield to block more turbolence
3. A GPS
4. A Bluetooth helmet for iPod tunes
5. Mo' money for Mo' mods because my list has no end, SORRY :)
