What did you do to your Spyder today?

[troop]

Now that the summer long distance touring season is over, I did some swapping around to put my Spyder into its day riding, sport(ier) mode.

1.) Off with the taller/wider/clear Isotta touring windscreen and on with the dark smoke Gustaffson windscreen.​

2.) Off with the Russell Day Long touring seat and back on with the OEM S2S seat. This seat puts me down approx. 2.5" including compression. The OEM seat is plenty good for 200 mile ride days. The RDL seat is good for 500+ mile days.​

3.) Off with the top case and on with the rear body colored panel. Storage no longer at a premium.​

4.) Off with the driver backrest.​

​

It will stay this way until next summer's touring season.

Did an oil change and wash on the F3, then swapped out the gauge spoiler for my windshield, as I am making a run down 81 before dawn to hopefully get into Maggie Valley before noon. I'll see if it holds up. The cracks were pretty bad and I gave it another coat of paint to have it hold up. It looks like crap and I will bite the cost of replacement next season if it holds up, and get a GP windshield that can use the Blue Ridge mounting hardware.

Due to my procrastination, I screwed up and missed the date for registration, but I was able to score a room right next to the stomping grounds at Travelowe's. Tomorrow will be last minute checks and getting to bed early. I am hoping to be eating breakfast at the new Buckee's on 81 at dawn, then be in Maggie Valley by noon or shortly after on Wednesday.

Got a Full synthetic BRP oil kit, an Air filter and the Screen Protector for mine in vue of tripping 30,000 km̱ʼs on my 2024…..in a week or so….

Just got mine tucked back in its normal garage spot. Just arrived home from my 5+ day ride to the Arkansas mountains and back. Led a group of three Honda CTX1300’s and an Indian Chieftain through three days of routes in the Ozarks. Got home today showing 2,487.5mi and 45.0hr for the 5-1/2 days. Now the Daytona is in dire need of a good cleaning. Maybe tomorrow …

Adjusted my driving lights (high enough for range, low enough to not blind other drivers though the lights will mostly stay off). Pretty bright stuff. Took a few bonus trips down the street and back. Yay.

I rode my Ebike instead of my F3S today. Gotta stay in shape. Day before I rode my regular analog bike.

I’m round. Rounds a shape

Baldwin cat delete and second custom PV4 tune from BLR. Been waiting a long time for the RLS resonator bypass delete and am in the list but for $75 for the Baldwin at least I can get started. No baffle was used

I ended up using the baffle with no plug and it's sounds better to me. Without the baffle it sounded like an overpowered chain saw.

I have one of those that I had installed on my 2016 F3T. When I sold it I kept the cat delete for future use. But since then, I have really become accustomed to the normal sound. At first, the sound of the 2021 RTL was definitely too quiet (still is). But I would just like to try fitting the stock muffler from my 2016 F3L to the RTL and put something like the stock F3S muffler on my F3L. I am not 100% certain how the newer ones sound, but the earlier F3 and F3S bikes sounded just right to me. I am on my 6th spyder, and the newest one is definitely way quieter than the earlier ones.
