My first 200 miles

[Mtdew57]

I picked up my first Spyder - 2014 RT on Monday - to many rainy days last week to put more miles on it. It did rain on me ryding home from the dealer though. It seems it needs a rear mudflap to keep spray off my back? Since I am 6'3" I need to replace the stock seat for more room. I had an ultimate on my Honda VTX and it was very comfortable. Will that or the comfort seat give me more legroom?

Thought the RA, after 2011, had the comfort seat with the couple of extra inches by default. I bought one for my 2011 because it had the older stock seat.

TheConfort seat will give you 2" extra, I think Ultimate calls theirs the Tall Boy

Ultimate Tall Boy Seat

Mtdew57-
Welcome to Spyderlovers! Our Tall Boy Seat measures to sit you 1.5" farther back than the OEM seat. I believe the seating position will take you a little bit of getting used to as you are changing from forward controls on your X to mid controls on the RT. Enjoy your new ride!

Best,
Dave

Welcome! Good to see another spyder in the general area. The comfort seat does give you the 2 additional inches of leg room, but the seat is much firmer. In my case, too firm. I ended up selling my recently purchased comfort seat and going back to a stock seat. I added floor boards and that gave me back some of my much needed leg room BTW, I am 6'-2" and it really helped.
