• 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.

    Anyone considered towing a Cargo Trailer with their Ryker?

    I am pretty sure that with the right hitch, the Ryker could physically pull a trailer. Not to put a cloud on this discussion, but let me just throw out these two considerations. Since the manual clearly states "NOT TO", think about warranty and insurance. The warranty you could probably get...

    Ryker Grill Guard - Has anyone had experience with a tubular grill guard?

    Have one but haven't used it yet for 'protection'. Ride mostly on dirt roads and got it 'just in case'. Also made a great place to mount my PIAA driving lights. I personally love it. It is sturdy and mounted securely and adds some to the skid plate effect for the front end.

    Highway pegs for the new RT?

    Just my two cents but highway pegs on a stock Spyder RT is scary! I installed some on my '14 and the first time I had to brake suddenly (think someone pulled out in front of me if I remember), getting my foot off that peg and back down to the floorboard and then trying to find the brake took...

    Classic Solo Saddle

    Install the front bracket and bolt but leave loose. Install the rear screw and then tighten both of them. Leaving that front bolt loose till the rear is put it makes all the difference. Not that difficult to install, maybe 15 minutes. Then enjoy!

    Trying to buy a Ryker... no one wants to sell me one?

    Agreed. Being there in person makes a world of difference. I purchased a Honda Grom last December. Asked the salesman if I could put it all on my credit card (almost $4000). He gave me the usual reply about how it cost him money. I told him if he would do it, I would take it off his hands...

    Classic Solo Saddle

    Have one on a '98 Moto Guzzi. Still looks good except for the couple of real small cuts in it from a 60 mph wreck. DEFINITELY looks good for 22 years old and survived a crash (rest of bike and my ATGATT didn't fair so well).

    Parking brake "rattle"

    Are you sure it's the lever rattling or the filter cover? The cover rattles on mine. Tried fixing but the way the filter fits, it's just the nature of the beast.

    Hooked straight to the battery and have a switch on the left handlebar by the headlight hi/low switch. A lot of my riding is on back dirt roads at night so I like the extra lighting (also have LED's in headlights).

    Either BRP comfort seat or a Corbin. I prefer the Corbin but that's me. PIAA lights may be a little extreme but...

    Classic Solo Saddle

    Black Natural Leather. I PM'd you my entire order selections. If you do get one, be sure and keep that front bracket bolt loose till you get the rear screw in (CSOldGrayDog and I found out the hard way).

    Nope, transmission on Ryker.

    Classic Solo Saddle

    Yeah, if I remember correctly I had to do the rear bolt first and then the front. I liked the original handlebar / seat relation position so since the Corbin seat is a couple of inches thicker I ended up installing some Rox risers to raise the handlebars. Everything feels good now. Hope you...

    Do you still have a regular motorcycle along with your Spyder ??

    My 'Signature' explains it all. Still enjoy each one in a different way.

    ATGATT on Spyder = PTGATT?

    My 2 wheelers … wouldn't think of getting on them without ATGATT. But my two CanAms … helmet, gloves,motorcycle boots and pants and racing jersey. Ryker I chance because I am mainly on back roads, driving slowly and no traffic. Spyder because I've had two bouts with heat stroke and can't take...

    Classic Solo Saddle

    Took over a year before someone loaned them a bike to make the driver seat. So it depends if anyone loans them a bike and how much interest they get.

    Classic Solo Saddle

    I didn't measure before installing but you can see the difference in the middle picture in my first post. It feels about that much.

    Classic Solo Saddle

    Weather finally cleared up enough to go on a short ride. Went out for an hour, 21 miles, 50% paved road at 35 to 40 mph (my normal) and 50% dirt road. Felt great. I know some may not like Corbin, too expensive, too hard initially, too long to break in. But for me, I love it. Just fits me...

    Classic Solo Saddle

    GOT IT. Installation was about 20 minutes (15 with what I know now). A bracket at the front with 1 bolt thru a hole already there. Remove a clip in the back (with screwdriver) and 1 bolt thru into the bottom of the seat. Had a little problem lining the bolt up into the seat until I loosen...
