I wanted to replace the wipers on my 2017 pike, but when I looked at the kits I found like 5 different ones. Wipers, 50 hr kit, rebuild kit... I'm not having any issues with it yet, so which one is the way to go? Do the 50hr kit over the wiper only kit just because? The wiper kit says 2015, but have they changed since then?

I would get the service kit that has the most shit. I would plan on an air spring rebuild along with that wiper seal & foam ring replacement. You should also do a damper bleed as well as inspect the bladder and damper piston seal, they leak and or ingest oil. Sometimes this makes the bladder look "pregnant".

Someone here asked the same question over a year ago and the thread has some useful info - https://ridemonkey.bikemag.com/threads/pike-service-kit-200hr-or-full-kit.278422/

If you're gonna break it open I'd just do the full rebuild.

FYI I just upgraded my 2017 Lyric with a Luftkappe and the new Charger damper. It made a huge difference.
