Newbie. What should I add to my spyder 2012 A/C first?

[Mac The Knife]

Should I get the anti-sway bar or Elka shocks first? Thanks in advance.

Let's see..!!

out of those two choices I would go with the BajaRon sway bar and hiem joints. Then after seeing the effect that has add the laser alignment. Mostly for cost reasons I would do Elkas last. I actually never did the shocks for once I added the swaybar joints and pitbull relocators the roadster handled great...welcome to both the roadster world and the site for all your needs...:thumbup:

Swaybar! Best bang for the buck...and you may decide you don't need the Elkas.

Nothing... yet!
Ride it for a while, and then make decisions based upon your own personal experiences with the bike. :thumbup:

Swaybar makes a noticeable difference right off the bat, great bang for the buck.

Personally don't know what difference the shocks make, but for that type of money hopefully they totally transform the whole ride.

I agree with Bob:bowdown:. Learn how the Spyder feels first, this way as you make upgrades you will be able to feel/identify the difference. Enjoy your ride!!! :yes::yes:

Neither... add a full tank of petrol in your :spyder2: first then ride it like you stole it...

1- Sway Bar
2-Fender Lights, TricLed or Custom Dynamics.
3-Additional Rear Running/Brake light - Buy or make your own like I did.

I agree with Bob:bowdown:.

You need to blow this one up real big and frame it Bob! :roflblack:

(Sorry, woke up with a mean streak this morning...)

Ron,
The LAST thing that I'd ever want to do; is cost you a sale... :shocked:
You know how I feel about your products...:bowdown:
(They'll appreciate your bar a whole lot more if they don't get it too quickly! )

I agree with above. I decided to wait to add performance items until I completely experienced & understood my 2012 RS SE5 baseline performance, as I've done with previous rides through the years. Over 1.5 years & 25,000 miles later, my RS is still 100% stock; I continue to experience excellent handling & performance on the street & our local dragaway http://www.greatlakesdragaway.com/ (knock on wood). On the other hand, from the positive discussions on this site, I notice there is a large list of excellent performance add ons.

I must confess 3 items:
1) I adjusted the front & back shocks from 3 to 5 & I found a huge gain in handling.
2) I added a third key in a magnet holder on the oil tank; there is a great thread on here about how to do this.
3) I added Nelson-Rigg tank bag - http://www.nelsonrigg.com/store/product.aspx?pid=1656 (I especially like map holder cuz I still use old school maps to travel)

No! No!

You missed my point! It was the 'Agree' part that I was referencing... Not the Content of your statement!

Life is a LOT more than making a sale. You continue to say whatever you want. (I do recommend staying on the good side of Lamont however!)

Which is something I fail to do from time to time. But then, you never know where the fence line is until you bump into it!

We're good...
And always will be! :thumbup:
