ENJOY THE RYDE

I wouldn't add anything to start with as you have purchased an amazing fully loaded machine that you will love for miles and miles just be ready to answer lots of Questions everywhere you go as people are fascinated by the Spyder.
As you put more and more miles on it you will figure out what you need such as cup/beverage holders or suspension upgrades there seems to be tons of accessories available.

you are gonna have so much fun :yes::yes:

I would rank the staples in this order

1 - Bumpskid from Spyderpops (protect the front end of your Spyder)

2 - Extra rear brake light ( i use Tricled's 3rd & 4th Brakelight/running light) Be seen better by vehicles behind you

3 - i ordered some cushion hand grips from Spyderpops, very inexpensive and keeps my hands from sweating or aching

4- NBV Highway pegs from Lamonster, allows you to stretch your legs to prevent cramping

5 - Bajarons sway bar to help keep you on the road properly

6 - Lazer Alignment to keep you going straight and not have to fight the steering controls

7 - a whole bunch of other stuff that fits your riding style or desires.

For my farkling I went with safety adds first:
DIY mirror turn signal lights.
DIY top trunk break light.
These were a minimum needed add in my opinion.

Later I then added the Sena SM10 Bluetooth setup for radio and passenger communications. Again I did it DIY.

Then I added an old iPod to the stock trunk MP3 connector. This works GREAT as your play lists etc show up on the dash and you can fully control it.

I am 6'4" so I got the BRP comfort seat which moved me 2" back in the saddle. Made a world of difference for me for riding comfort. After that I got the Utopia driver backrest.

I then went with the Baja Ron sway bar. I did not really need it I thought. I road for 5 months before deciding I had the cash to add it. Now that I added it, it is worth every penny!

Then I added the side rear and front fender riding / turn lights from Show Chrome. These replace the existing reflectors. I got them at a great price from a sponsor here Value Accessories. Your 14 will be different for the front fender lights. The rear side saddle bag side lights will be the same on your 14. I prefer the Show Chrome stuff as they are DOT certified unlike the tricled stuff.

Then I added the Show Chrome 3rd and 4th break/riding lights. Again Value Accessories.

Oh and a guardian bell supplied by a Spyder Lover as a gift!

I also added an alarm system with a "body" sensor. Too many times I walked out of some place to see people sitting on it This was a $100 alarm, easy to install, and works well.

I now have the belt idler add-on in hand and just need to install it. I will also do a video on that.

If you want to see videos of all of the above, I have posted installation videos of these in the DIY forum.

Welcome Roy! :congrats:
You've had the word from the master farkling king, Bob Denman!! :bowdown: :firstplace:
However I think I'd get used to the standard Spyder before I changed anything.
Pay attention to any niggles that you could live without and see if they can be improved.

I have a white 2010 RS-S so I can't really recommend anything from experience as the 2014
is an almost entirely different machine.....I might consider a BajaRon swaybar though.

White's a cool colour too! Probably a little faster than those cognac machines!! :roflblack:
