Welcome to the Forum flash. :thumbup: I really dunno what you're concerned about, it's a
SPYDER... so it
IS effectively a Snow Mobile, only on wheels instead of skis & a track.... :dontknow: :
:joke:
Still, in quite a few cases, especially with a 'new to Spyders' rider, the 'sway' that often gets complained about on these things is often due to the rider tensing up with a death grip on the bars & then over-correcting to compensate &/or avoid every little lurch or bump in the road.... often because with 2 wheels up front that they can clearly see, they're concentrating on all the obstacles & hazards & bumps & things they can see on the road close up in front &/or trying to correct for every little change &/or dodge every little obstacle' instead of looking
waaaaayyyy out ahead; scanning back to the front of the Spyder along the path they intend to follow;
and then with a loose grip on the bars, dropped elbows & shoulders, gently guiding the Spyder along that path they've planned out. :thumbup:
But if you really want to go with different shocks, there are a bunch of other options besides Elka's - off the top of my head, there's M2's & Wilburs readily available over your way that are juuust as good as the Elkas (if not better??
) and usually a little cheaper & often mentioned here on the Forum; there's Fox Shocks, that are usually a fair bit cheaper but not so good as any of the others; and a growing band of Spyder Ryders who've found and like IKON's, that are, at least IMHO (& that of quite a few others too!
) as good as the expensive shocks & not much more expensive than the Fox Shocks.... well, at least here in Oz they aren't as expensive! Me, I'm running fully adjustable IKON's on my 2013 RT Ltd. :clap:
Over to you. :cheers:
