• 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.

    recommendations for riding gear,

    OOPS, it should have read "Come on now,...." Spell check got me! What does HD have to do with it? HD itself has nothing to do with it; HD riders, on the other hand, TEND to ride with less (doo rags, fingerless gloves, t-shirt and vest, etc.) Now to cut down on the flaming, NOT ALL HD/cruiser...

    recommendations for riding gear,

    Ummm, jacket and gloves? Common now, this is not an HD! ATGATT means exactly that, 'all the gear'.

    Adjusting the rear shock.

    I went to my misc tools drawer in my tool box, found five of them, just will pick the one that fits the best. Every OTHER motorcycle I've owned came with one......

    Very Informative Video

    I wondered about that. It was my understanding that Sport mode just 'relaxed' traction control as well. The brake reservoir trick is one worth remembering! I thought it was interesting that he mentioned how easy it was to remove the body for access to the engine but did not demonstrate it...

    Go Cruise Throttle Control and Ryker Rally

    I have both a throttle 'lock' and a 'crampbuster' (also known as 'wristrest') on my FJR; they will be transferred to the Ryker (one week and counting!)

    Pricing

    Now I'm confused.....did this start out on the Spyder forum? Anyway, for more info, check my thread on the Ryker forum: Freight and Handling charges!

    What would you change on the Ryker?

    Ride one....then complain. As for cheap, yes they are; about half of a F3 and that's why I'm getting mine. It's probably like a body man friend of mine told me about his restorations: "Twenty footers. Any closer and you can see the flaws." But from 20' they were gorgeous!

    Took Screw Out Of End Of Hand Grip - So now what?

    It sounds like the mirrors use a 'BarkBuster' device to secure them. You might need to do more than just tap them with a screwdriver; and unthread the screw about 1/4" at a time as you 'tap' it with a hammer. I wouldn't take the screw all the way out, you might lose the jamb nut inside the...

    Anyone Try Painting The Wheel Accent Inserts?

    PlastiDip is NORMALLY a spray but is available in a liquid that can be custom mixed for varied colors. From their website: The Create Your Color Kit comes with one 22 oz. can of Clear Plasti Dip and five specially formulated tints, providing everything you need to create custom colors. For...

    Freight and Handling charges!

    I did my research, bought one at 10999 plus 125 'doc' fees. Tax and title will be extra but I'm titling it in NM. You will have to pay tax pretty much anywhere you buy it, either at the time of sale or at the time of registration. And, yes, $1390 savings IS important to me.....:ohyea:

    Handlebar clamp screw size

    I hadn't considered this RAM mount, was going to get the handlebar clamp but I like this; ordered two of them today (as long as the threaded holes is 8mm or smaller, it can be adapted. limited by the hole in the ball itself.)

    No Tool Kit? Helmet Holder/Lock?

    I recall my first BMW, a R100GSPD. It came with a tool kit AND a bag containing a battery charger, a quart of oil and a bottle of windscreen cleaner! Each BMW after that came with progressively smaller tool kits and I don't think the LT's even had a screwdriver! I always put together my own...

    Anyone Try Painting The Wheel Accent Inserts?

    Did you use spray or did you brush it on? I'm thinking that brushing would be easier given the design of both the 900 and Rally wheels. I'm going to try to find the 'custom color' kit.

    GIVI Top case size suggestions

    I got mine from Ebay, my friend Duane got his from Amazon, same price. Here is a picture of the same box on my Vespa. Though cheap, they are amazingly well made. The Vespa has had it on there for about three years. A full face helmet WILL NOT fit in it, only drawback to the size. Sorry about...

    Anyone Try Painting The Wheel Accent Inserts?

    That is exactly what I'm going to try! Also on the 'hood'. Trying to match Yellow Shock is going to be the problem, may end up having to repaint the 'inserts' as well to match.
