I installed a Bajaron sway bar on the Can-Am Spyder that I bought for my girlfriend.
He did install a Baja Ron anti-sway bar, and said it made a great improvement, but apparently not enough to make a real difference. He leans his upper body, but not very far, and can't lift up off the seat.
His front springs are set to the 2nd position. Being as he is heavy, I suggested setting them all the way up. He has to buy a spring wrench, since no tools came with it, so we have to wait to see if that helps.
He took a training class when he bought it, and was told to use less steering effort by using only one hand to push or pull at a time. He did lower the tire pressures per recommendations he read online.
When I asked him to get in the left lane so my helmet cam could see him better, he said he had to concentrate too hard on riding to change lanes. I can't imagine enjoying having to work that hard.
His biggest complaint about the Spyder is having to keep the engine RPMs up. He didn't really like the interstate on his BMW ('88 R100RT) either. He just has never been comfortable at higher speeds.
I had also suggested an alignment, which he said is a laser alignment and costs $800, and is unaffordable at this time. Is it really that expensive? Can an alignment be done on a standard car machine?
It's hard to believe that they are that difficult to ride. I haven't ridden one, but from what he says, they sound like they're barely road-worthy. Is the problem with him or is it the nature of the beast?
