New Spyder Owner!

[Old Man Grizz]

Just pulled the trigger on a New 2014 RTS
Test drove a few and My Wife and I fell in love.
Got rid of my Kawasaki Voyager and here we are!
First off, What a GREAT SITE you have created here.
Everyone's posts had a big effect on our decision.
Thank You All!
Second, just wondering what folks consider to be their "Must Have" upgrade or add on, and why...
Sorry I'm so long winded, I just wanted to say,"Hi!"
Thanks again,
Old Man Grizz

:welcome::congrats::clap: Great choice - ride it awhile - Farkles will come to you easily - my first were safety oriented: replacing reflectors with bright LEDs on fenders. Enjoy!

:yes: Welcome to the PARTEEE! :yes:
Just about everybody in here, has their own list of "Must-Haves"...
Why not try riding a while, and see what you think of it? :thumbup:

Fairly new to the Spyder too myself. I don't know that there are really any must have's. As mentioned, ride it for a couple thousand miles and go from there. I fell for a couple highly "recommended items".....not sure how much I really needed them. Your riding style and wanted accessories (electronics, music, lighting) will dictate your personal must have's....For now, ride the heck out of it and smile.. Fun aint it?

Put a few hundred miles on it then get it laser aligned and upgrade the sway bar and links to BajaRon's bar/links. Many people, myself included, consider those must have upgrades.

After that, depends on your style and your wallet.

For comfort .................. Highway pegs may be one

Protect Front End ..........................Bumpskid

Safety ............................. Extra Lights

Performance .................... Sway bar

Lots to think about, but ride it and enjoy it.

:welcome: You call that long winded???


I'd say the bump-skid is essential. But like others have said, ryde it a while and then decide on everything else. I recommend BajaRon's anti-sway bar. Then farkle to your hearts content - or as far as your spending money will allow.

:welcome:and :congrats: enjoy your new ride!

My first spyder ( 2012RTS-S5) I did not do any farkling. Then I upgraded to my current ride 2014RTS-SE6 Cognac. I got my dashboard painted Cognac. Then I got Sceptor Kit-Orange reflective decals from ( WRAPMYSPYDER.COM they are a vendor on this site) Get your spyder laser aligned, everyone personalizes there own. Deanna
