My 2014 Ride Report

[Cruzr Joe]

Since there isn't a second set of battery connectors, will you hookup the battery tender thru the power outlet in the trunk?

No, connected the other end of the Battery Tender Jr directly to the battery and charge it that way, a quick connect setup, seems to be ok.

Thanks for the report:clap:...............can't wait to see and hear them in person! :2thumbs::yes::yes:

 

[cuznjohn]

very interesting

report, thanks, i figured they had to do a much better job than they did on the 13's so it is really good to hear a great report. as far as the inlets for the radiators do you think at slow speeds and at stops that if the fans come on in reverse if they will blow most of the leaves and junk back out of the radiator

Joe,

Can you tell us what length screws you needed for those adjustable deflectors?

 

[ulflyer]

Is the turn signal off switch any better than on previous models? Hopefully you got one that works as it should.

I lived with a crappy one til it finally malfunctioned and the replacement works great.

I will measure one later today, after our ride.

Thanks! :thumbup:
We've got a pretty well-stocked Ace Harware up here; I'm sure that I can find what I'll need, if I have an idea of what to look for!

Hi Cruzr Joe,
Cool ride. Is your ride a pitbull or lamonster edition? I've read about special editions on this website.

Use the same bolt that is on there only 1/2 " instead of 3/4 ", works fine.

:2thumbs: did they just change to a different mounting flange for them?

Hey Joe,

I may or may not be interested in a 2014 RT, "but I might", "but I probably wont", "text me"

I do appreciate your first appraisal of the 2014 RT and I will follow your future post to see what changes. We've all tested vehicles and then realized certain things as time goes by so I'm very interested and entertained by your post. Keep it up!

Get some miles on it and report back if you don't mind, Take the wife so we can get her perspective as well:shemademe_smilie:

Its nice you have the weather to do so, it just rose above zero here for the first time in days

Ryde on,

Kevin

Thanks for the review Joe.
Love the fact of all the positive responses from all the new owners!
Also appreciate the general consensus from you guys that BajaRon's Sway Bar is still a improved upgrade for the 14's.
I'll be ordering my Spyder next week at the bike show and already plan on working on them throwing the labour in to install my Tri-Axis bars to sweeten the deal so now I'll add the sway bar as well!
I figure with the Spyder landing at the dealer with the Frunk already off how long could it take to mount the heim links and the bar... :2thumbs:

In my opinion, there is nothing prettier than a clean and shiny black vehicle. I've owned many and even a timeless black Spyder (which was beautiful).

:agree::agree::agree:


In my garage
2003 Wing Trike. Black
2011 Yukon. Black
2012 Ford Fusion. Black
2013 Jeep Wrangler. Yep. Black!


All vehicles get dirty, but I like nothing better than clean black vehicle. :thumbup:


Oh,,, and :congrats: Joe on that beautiful new black ride!

 

[Bob Denman]

Steve,
Is it enough to make you think about taking another "peek over the fence"?

Hey Joe, glad to hear you finally got your Spyder! Hope the waiting was worth it! According to a friend down in Orlando, Fl., who just recently got his, it is a definite improvement! Hope to see you one of these days!:yes:

She KNOWS what you're capable of! :yikes:

Thanks for that info; I'm hoping that the dealer will simply install mine before I pick it up, but I'd best be prepared... :thumbup:
