somebody please remind me

I have never been in that camp. Bought early 2008, First year, 2009 with SE5--a new item at the time, 2010, RTS premier edition, and 2014 RTS--new ACE 1330 version.

To date, with three "for sures," and one "looking good," I have not had any problems with the first year editions.

I am one who likes the latest and greatest for sure.

Relax, no names were mentioned. As is typical when a new anything arrives, some people are fine with a new model, while others overwhelm themselves with speculation of problems that are yet to happen. The wife, wanting the Spyder more on a whim, had us buy it (2014 RTs) with limited research, and all research done by phone calls to friends in the motorcycle industry. I noticed this entire don't buy stuff after the fact, ironically, it never really bothered me one way or another. If anything, since it was January, the bike was unknown, it allowed us to force the deal a bit more.

All the best with the 14's guys.

Let me get this straight. You're asking a bunch of "farkle-holics" for help in stopping you from farkling your bike. Fat Chance :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

With talk of the larger brake pedal, I read the sales info about it. Seems it was designed for footpeg style machines. The right sie floorboard, by design will drop away under some breaking emergency braking situations, allowing an even longer throw of brake application. Lamont mentioned this had happened to him in Daytona I believe.
Yup! :thumbup:

The brake pedal will trip a latch, the floorboard hinges lower, hopefully all is good. The floorboard is raised and reset.

It's not the Pedal that trips the floorboard... It's the "arm" that the pedal attaches to that is underneath the 'Board...

Adding a wider pedal may not allow the pedal to pass the the floorboard providing extra travel. Just to be clear, I run a stock pedal and floorboard setup, so maybe others could verify or show I am in error.

The oversized brake pedal does NOT prevent the floorboard from dropping away if needed; CruzrJoe investigated all of this for us! :thumbup:

John,
Don't worry; I've NEVER seen a casket lined with Hundred-Dollar bills! :thumbup:

First of all, farkels are not over-spending, but necessary spending . . . as for caskets, I've come up with the perfect solution. I told my kids, that when I die, they are to go to the finest funeral home, and ask if they have a rosewood coffin, with silk lining and platinum handles. If they do, they are to ask the funeral director how much the box it came in would cost! nojoke

I've already been told, that I"m getting a Hefty "Steel Sack", and a drop off the highest bridge she can find! :shocked:

I've owned my RT 2 weeks and all I've done so far is BajaRon's sway bar and KOTT's from Spyderpops - you'll love them because they keep your radiators clear of debris.

Where I really, really, really want to spend $$$$ is at TriCled and on HID lightening but for now I have to wait.
