Thinking of upgrading my Harley Triglide to Spyder RT. My wife rides a 2014 RT Limited and loves it. The Harley is kind of rough on my back due to suspension stiffness. I found that my 20 year old thinking and my 67 year old body can get me in trouble. Between the stiff ride on the Triglide and lifting something that the body couldn't handle anymore, I am now in the early recovery stages of T6, T8 and T9 vertebrae stress fractures and think it's time to change the ride.
Looks like the 14's to 17's are pretty much the same. The 18's have the new dash and BRPConnect that seems to have more bad than good reviews.
Any accessories we should consider like seat and handle bar upgrades due to the back problems?
Thanks for any help and advice while I recuperate. I am not ready to give up the riding and know it will be better soon.
Those of you who have gone through 'broken back' issues have any advice on recuperation and time frame for recovery?
I have a 2014 TriGlide that I would have to sell and have been looking at different dealers for Spyders around Grand Junction area. There are not many close by, even Durango is getting out of the Spyder sales.
Thanks for any advice/help.
