New White RT Limited ----- What are your top Farkle?

[bobgeorge]

Hello,

I just ordered a 2015 Pearl White RT Limited. The dealer gave me 12% off accessories so I ended up getting a chrome tri-axis adjustable handlebar, black heated comfort seat, and chrome side wind deflectors.

Besides a BajaRon sway bar....what are your top 3 farkles you have on your RT and why?

Thank you in advance!

Laser alignment, Spyderpops Bumpskid, Kott Grilles

Thanks. Where can you get laser alignments? & how much do they cost?

1) Aftermarket Seat, we have Corbin Seat, Backrest, Trunkrest, passenger Armrests and Cupholder. Expensive but worth every penny on rides over an hour for us. You might prefer something different.

2) Front suspension package... Properly balancing the Front Wheels, aligning the front wheels, Bajaron Swaybar. We are average size riders, if you are light the sway bar may be not noticed as much. If you are heavy, the swaybar will be an asset and should likely be supplemented with preload adjuster from Bajaron also.

3) BRP HID Headlights, will work on yours, but requires non standard mounting for the ballasts.

I like your choices on BRP accessories, that is pretty much what I had installed on mine before I picked it up. As for aftermarket products:

1. Laser Alignment (come on out to Las Vegas and we will get you Squared Away)
2. Baja Ron Anti Sway Bar
3. Lights: Replace the reflectors on the front fenders with LED lights (Tricled.com)
High Mount Brake Light (Custom Dynamics)
4. Baker Built Air Wings

Why?
1 & 2 Will greatly enhance the handling of your Spyder
3 Safety
4 Comfort

No experience with number 4, but agree 100% with the rest!

Third rear brake light, is a must! !! For safety!

SURPRISED THIS WASN'T MENTIONED

A " Utopia " backrest......It's very adjustable, ( un-like BRP's ) and mounts very easily, plus it's about 1/2 the cost....just sayin......Mike :thumbup:

 

[bobgeorge]

Thank you for all the great recommendations.

What do you all think about the Akrapovic exhaust? I have been watching youtube and has a deeper sound.

Also, what about the adjustable vented windshields? I know the FT windshield has vents built in. [h=1][/h]

 

[murphybrown]

Agreed

Agree with everything Ann lists (Les the Baker Air Wings are a necessity in my world of Spydering...have had them on both the '10 and now my '14).
I will add a couple more: CUP HOLDER (I actually have 2) and 12 V on dash with helps me keep phone, etc charged (I also like my JT dash bar for mounting phone, SPOT tracker, GPS or Camera or whatever you deem a benefit to your travels).
Enjoy the farkling...just an FYI...you can farkle, farkle and soon you will find something else you just reallllly need!!! (Oh yea I am a salesman's delight!!):yikes::thumbup::yes:

For you all that have cups. How do you ride and drink? I have a full-face helmet. Seems like that would be difficult.

Are Baker Built Air Wings similar to the BRP side wind deflectors?

 

[murphybrown]

Created a straw system

For you all that have cups. How do you ride and drink? I have a full-face helmet. Seems like that would be difficult.

Yep also ryde with full face shield...raise shield enough for my flexible straw easily finds mouth...suck away...BUT learn to position tongue close to end of straw...dang hitting those bumps without tongue in position can make an OWIE..:yikes:. My straw is "custom made"...food grade flexible plastic (1/4") cut to length that will reach bottom either my thermos (24 oz) or coffee cup (20 oz). Found cork that fits opening...drilled hole in center and put straw in...yep works great...:yes::yes:

1. BajRon sway bar for bike performance and comfort ride $$ if paying to install $$$

2.sena 20s blue tooth much better than the Shuberth neck roll system.$450.00 for 2 helmets
3.Rivco highway pegs very simple do it your self $250.00
4. Luggage rack and a 15" x15" netting.do it your self $80.00
5. luggage netting inside of trunk lids and side bag lids. $12.00

Helmets great for short rides also. Buy it and you will never have to buy a second or upgrade

Also if you are driving in a windy area, put the windshield down. It is like a sail.
The electric winshield was a great idea by BRP alot of people do not use it.

Only 3? You'll never be able to stop at 3!

I've managed without the air wings so far & the only light I've added is the third brake light from Custom Dynamics. But all the above a good places to start.

So the adjustable vented windshields don't add much value?

1. Painted dash board( Cognac).................................... adds color to the dash board ( got the idea from Blueknight911 mike he painted his dashboard Pearl White send him a Pm ask him how he painted his)

2. Laser Alignment.......... better wear on the tires

3. New Rear Tire( General Altimax RT 43)...................... tire ratings ( had to replace rear tire, no tread left on tire Original Kenda)

4. Led Lighting (Tric)............ ( Front Amber with Safety Reflector & Front Red Amber with Safety Reflector & Red RT Rear Side LED with Reflector).................................... Safety, Visible nice looking Deanna
