• 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.

Has anyone changed out the handlebars on their ryker to bring them back closer to operator ? . I need about two inch's closer.

I switched to the Ryker Cross Style bars. they are several inches wider and about a fist higher and a fist further back. Really improved my comfort.
 
I added the 2" risers by Rox Speed to my Ryker Rally. I did tilt the risers back about 45 degrees also. Rox offers different sizes also. Don't go too long, the electrical harness is only so long. I unclipped the wiring from my handlebar.
PRO: No drilling out new handlebars and converting everything over.
CON: have to slide handlebar forward for fueling.

Thanks , I believe i will try this setup u used..
thanks
 
Replaced stock with Renthall low road bars. Exactly the cruiser feel I was looking for, a little higher and 2-3 inches back.
 
Be sure to de burr, eh.

I highly recommend using a deburring tool for the holes. Just pop it in and the blade cleans any sharp stuff both inside and out. Especially important for wires, and a great investment for the shop at around $10 at most any big box hardware.

I added the Z-Bars. They bring the grips up and back. (I don't know why the pic is upside down. Can't get it to rotate)
