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

[PW2013STL]

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

I have the F4 windshield and use it a lot. It adds a cooling breeze when opened fully and I have used it to help flow rain by adjusting the opening to blow the airflow upward.
I will never be without one again.
Not sure how well the BRP adjustable one works as I have no expeareance with one. The F4 uses a large Gold Wing adjustable vent in the center of the shield that in my opinion works the best.

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

Since you're in Woodbridge, I suggest checking this link and calling the shop:
http://alloutcycles.com/. The ride would be worth the change in your Spyder's handling. This link is for the company that designs/sells the Rolo system: http://www.spydercomfort.com/index.html.

The bill for my alignment was $125; prices vary.

:congrats: on your new bike! :clap: :2thumbs:
Accessories; this is always fun!
I like more brakelights, and the LED-equipped Bumpskid up front for safety.
After that; I'd look into increasing the comfort of the bike... Add what you need, to make it fit and work better for you. :thumbup:
Seats, backrest, and floorboards might need to be on your radar...
Happy Shopping! :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.

That is why I took my cup holder off. I would rather stop. get off, stretch and move around a little to get a drink.

Yep!!!

I'm with you on this. I'm getting off the bike every 1 1/2 to max 2 hours to stretch and hydrate. Drinking while riding seems to be a distraction that I don't need.

Thanks for all the god feedback. Here's the Farkle I will probably add:

- Baharon sway bar
- Laser alignment
- Utopia backrest
- Kott Grilles
- LED lights (fender/back /brakes)
- Spyder Drops bumpskid....I might get LEDs but I need to check if it is legal in Virginia

Question about Baker Built Air Wings. Are the BRP Wind Deflectors similar?

Can't do just three, but...

I've had my spyder for a month or so. Other than basic fluid and air checks, I've simply ridden the heck out of it, including a 2k mile ride home where I bought it. Here's my list of what I've bought, put on, or considering to buy.

Forgot

Forgot. Looking for a tank bag (?) that my pup can sit in, especially when I get the Corbin seat with a bit more room in front of me.

Low priority, but the pup gives me an evil look every time I leave without him. And I think I'm missing some shoes now. New mounds in the garden. Hmmmmm.....

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:

Interesting but smart idea on the SPOT tracker considering the riding you get in. Never even considered the SPOT on the Spyder before.

I really like the spot idea and mounting it on the dash. Already have my gps there and still plenty of room on the jt bar. Had the gopro there but moved that to the side mirror due to the bugs on the windshield.

 

[sidecars]

ME, too

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:

My first Farkle, and really only on so far.. is the Utopia backrest. REALLY helped my back. Just finished 1000 mile trip plus.. and NO problems.. which is new for me!
