Thanks and the price to have this done is?

Just kidding... depends on the dealer that supplies it. Between $80 to $129.

Thanks to everyone. Having it rain here for the last week or so has slowed down my riding, but did get it out today for awhile. Having improvement on my riding skills evrytime I do ride and most of the feeling are going away. Thanks.

bullant12, I have no intent of spending that kind of money on a new bike. Yes, I do feel that if it doesn't improve I will be talking to the dealer about the problem.

I bought the :spyder2: from my dealer,but they had to bring it in from another site in a crate and assemble it. I drove it home with only 1 mile on the odo.
This isn't the first bike I bought that was in a crate when I bought it. 1980 1100 Midnight Special in a crate then assemabled by the dealer. I drove it off the lot, had a mile on it and the Head light assembly fell off it. Drove it back and had them go all through the bike again. I still have the bike today.

Sounds like most of your experience is on two wheels. The Spyder uses different laws of physics than two wheelers do. You're not "one" with the Spyder like you may be used to. Instead, you're sitting on top of it and being tossed around like a sack of potatoes. As the Spyder doesnot lean in turns, you are throw to the outside of the turn. Even on straightaways you are making constant minor course corrections and your bidy always responds to those corrections opposite than what you do when on two wheels. Spyder steering is also different, as you're NOT using counter-steering like on two wheelers. This will take time as your arms re-learn how to steer.

Suspension upgrades are often done & most are very pleased with the results. I have upgraded mine with the Elkas and BahaRon's anti-sway bar. They're costly, no doubt, but made a huge improvement for me.

:welcome: Not much I can add in the way of suggestions. Least expensive is to try a lighter input on the handlebars. If that is not your particular solution, then its on to the mechanical stuff. The :spyder2: should not go all over the place out of the box. The OEM stuff is sufficient for a good ryde. Better shocks and swaybar are for "improved" ryde--as stated above.
