What did you do to your Spyder today?

[Haze]

Rebuilt the mount for my heated gear controller.
Installed my new signal cancel button - Thanks to TCBoone And Frogman Dave

 

[vulkus]

Being a relative noob, I finally got it out of Eco mode. And I've almost reached my first 1000km

[ned64]

Pulled both spyders out of their sheds. Checked air in the tires. Wife rode her F3L an I rode my RTL. Took freeway to Prosser and ate BBQ. Came back home on the old hiway to Yakima. Nice 120 mile ride.

 

[Haze]

Working on a wireless charging phone mount for the F3 handle bars.
Phone will be used for music and backup maps.
Should be able to install and test on Saturday provided the weather cooperates.

Installed Lamonster belt tensioner. It doesn't go nearly as smoothly as the video I watched would have you believe. Knowing there was more than ample amounts of yellow lock-tite on the OEM bolts would have helped because I would have broken out the mini torch a lot sooner.

 

[Pooch]

Rode to dealer for 9300 mile oil change and full service. 27* when I started out - thank GOODNESS for modular helmet, heated gear, seats, and grips.
All systems GO... no problems found.
Did advise the rear original Kenda tire had about 2000 more miles left on it.
Had the top box shock replaced under warranty - works much better than the original. But I'm keeping my notched tree twig I used to prop it open - just in case.

 

[K80Shooter]

Ordered two of the Vredestein Quatrac's for the front of my Spyder.

 

[Little Blue]

Installed LED Headlights

I installed my Christmas present, LED Headlights.
Yesterday was a beautiful day for working on the Spyder.
Just took a hour from start to finish.
I had watched the U-Tube video.

Stay Healthy. ....:thumbup:

Where did your order your VQ's, and were they the same size as OEM's?

They are not the OEM size. They are 165/60R15 and I got them at Tire Rack.
There are only a very few options for the OEM size outside of the Kenda's.

 

[Littleantlers]

I installed a set of fold down flags on my 21 STS

 

[slhanks004]

Not today - but this past weekend I installed a set of Tricled Afterburnerz taillights from SlingMods and replaced the BRP medallion on the frunk with a custom design I bought from a guy in Canada.

Left side stock/right side with Afterburnerz
Afterburnerz also have sequential turn signal LEDs, which is really nice.


New custom Spyder badge on frunk

 

[Impster]

Did the first, and a most important, mod to my 1-week old F3S... added a battery tender connector to the battery. I left the connector up by the coolant tank, under the service cover.

Then promptly came back inside the house, as my hands were almost numb from the cold.

[vulkus]

Changed the height setting for the rear foot boards.

Changing out OEM to BaJa Ron's "ULTRA 3 Pcs Sway Bar"


Finally got around to changing my OEM sway bar to BaJa Ron's Ultra 3 piece. Got my RTL lifted about 20 inches placed solid on my jack stands. Knowing this wasn't high enough to get the OEM bar out, but was fine for getting it disassembled and dropped down on 1 side. Looked over the situation and said to myself, "Self, Are you ever going to put this Old OEM bar back on?" The answer was , "Hell NO!" So, a 3 second go at it with the "gas wrench" and it fell out of there in 2 pieces. Everything went back together as fast as my 72 year old "bag of bones" would allow. Job well done and can't wait till our weather straightens out so I can try it out. "Come-on Spring" :thumbup: Bill

 

[ShockwaveSpyder]

Finally cleaned the Spyder after I'd hit the dirt which was left on the road by a farmer. It already smells a little bit in my garage :roflblack:
It's always a challenge cleaning the bike with high-pressure out of the wheelchair

 

[Dutchy]

Not specifically today but over the weekend removed the BRP shocks front and rear and fitted Wilbers shocks. Not a fun activity but done. Test ride Sunday on my 250k m test track of highways and country back roads found a few problems

1. Cant stop grinning at how much better the 17 RTL is to ride, this isn't an incremental improvement but a huge one. As soon as I reversed out of the garage over a small ledge in the concrete, I could feel the difference in the way the shocks behaved.
2. Because the new shocks are finally doing what suspension is supposed to, I cant stop looking down at the front wheels hugging the road.
3. To finally have the ability to adjust compression and rebound settings is right up there with holding an overly full bladder for 10 hrs and finally getting to wee
4. I have not played with any settings (seems a contradiction I know from the above comment) because the calibration by Wilbers based on my weight and riding prefs is spot on. This will change when my copilot comes for a ride who's weight has been factored in too

They are pronounced as Wilbers - but you should pronounce the same way Homer Simpson pronounces Doughnuts - that mesmerized tone he uses.

You make me jealous one if the things I truly want get , I just fitted a new Led H7 low beam to replace the Halogen lights which my left one kept blowing which is the same as Europe here which is your fog lights over there.

 

[SLICE]

Strapped a butt buffer on the '22 RTL, hopefully that will help with the brick of a seat Can Am gave me.
