I bit the bullet and upgraded my 2023 Spyder RTL front suspension... Color me happy!

I bit the bullet and upgraded my 2023 Spyder RTL front suspension to the BajaRon sway bar and BajaRon front shocks. I am still fiddling with the rebound control on the bottom of the shocks (currently set to 25 'clicks'). So far, I am pleased with the performance of the upgrade. Nearby, there is a twisty little road that I use to sharpen my turning 'skills'. Prior to the upgrade, I was taking the turns at about 40 to 47 mph; today with the upgrade, I was able to run about 10 mph faster through the turns! Color me happy.

One word of advice, and I see this a lot in snowmobiling. Just because you feel more comfortable behind the wheel with all these new add on's, don't think that you're some autocross champion at a race! Ride your ride, but don't take it to the point where you are risking someone else in this dream! Have FUN, be safe!

I have the same bike and did the BajaRons ultimate sway bar and front shocks as well. I just finished installing the shocks this morning. I live around a lot of twisty backroads and travel them all the time. Set the shocks to 25 clicks as recommended. From the short ride I took, I can say it handles much better in the turns; I feel that I can take turns much faster. I am looking forward to putting it through its paces and gaining more confidence. They definitely reduce the lean and hold the line really well.

The only mod on my Spyder is a rear brake light on the top box. I have now done 4800 miles and am quite happy to ride the "raw" machine. How it handles is how I handle it, and my mates on 2 wheels are quite amazed at how it goes, especially on twisty minor roads.

If you ever get a chance to drive the same bike with the mod's, give it a try, you may understand what we are all talking about. If you are totally satisfied with your ride, then it's good for you, that's great to hear!!! Enjoy!!!

To each his own, I say. I upgraded my 2022 RTL with BR's Ultimate Sway Bar and Wilbers front shocks, and was blown away with the improvement they made to my machine. Some people opt for lights and other farkles, while I prefer performance. As long as you are happy and enjoy your ride, there is no wrong way to go.
