• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    What's the widest Ryker windshield available?

    Hand bubbles? Should set you back maybe $30 for a pair. I also added the Saeng Ta "stealth edging" around the stock shield. That adds a couple inches of virtual size to the envelope. PS - the bubbles usually mount to the mirror stalks, but I went with a couple of standard utility bar clamps...

    2022 Rally with a stuck/locked glovebox - Help?

    Yup - I have to sometimes press off center on the cover to get it to release, especially if I've managed to cram something in there that's just a smidge too big.

    Honest review on Damper Upgrade and All you need to know

    Anyone have grill guards for their Ryker?

    I don't expect rust would be much of an issue - most car grills are either plastic or pig metal ... Some mention of grill mesh thickness. I went with a 40x13 12mm painted aluminum. Just cut it to shape, then a slight fold on each end so it tucks in tight. A few black zip ties pretty much...

    Anyone have grill guards for their Ryker?

    Grill mesh here, tied to the stock grill with hidden zip ties. Also working on a new project, converting an old Mercury Monarch grill to fit over the stock fascia ... should be able to fend off the occasional squirrel I'd think. I've cut the grill down and it's good fit - just have to dress and...

    Ryker mph/rpm/reverse just froze & won't work - any ideas?

    Wondering if you were fiddling about with something around the dash module and knocked something loose? Maybe driving in the rain with a loose connector? And ya, sounds like there may be a service visit in you future, eh.

    Oil emitting from left side air intake

    Real common to get the oil level wrong. Fire it up, roll maybe 10 miles, let it idle while you pop open the cleaner to get access, then check the dipstick immediately. Be interesting to see what you find ... nudge nudge ...

    Windshields burning Rykers?

    You know what really burns my butt? (black leather seat sittin in the sun) <G> Not a new problem though. Wasn't that long ago they had to close down streets around a new high rise in (Dallas?) due to excessive heat concentrated by curved glass some designer thought would be kewl, eh. Seems to...

    Windshields burning Rykers?

    Looks like a PUIG issue that doesn't include the OEM shields ... I suppose the shield angle would have a lot to do with it.

    Any reviews of Aftermarket brake pads? EBC, Bikemaster, Others?

    I went EBC green sintered. Excellent grip from the git go, and major improvement over the stock pads. No noise, but from past experience, they can throw a lot of dust, so expect to do some additional cleanup.

    Who has the Forward/Reverse Jockey Shifter on your Ryker?

    You need to remove the lower cover to access the mounting point for the new linkage. Three pop pins and carefully unclip the top where it locks into the upper panels. Couple good videos on the install. Only complaint I'd have - I tucked it in tight to keep it from rattling on idle, and that was...
