Just thinking about buying a Ryker Rally and was wondering if anybody had recomendations for a windshield? Seen the Can Am versionand it looks to small. Any thoughts ? Thanks

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.

I got the Puig 5022H and I think it fits perfect for me. I like to see over the windshield but still get that wind protection on the highway.
You can find it several places and it costs around $100.

Thanks I will check it out.
We got the F4 customs windshields for our Rykers. The level of clarity is awesome. It's a 16 inch with a recurve up top to give another 2 inches of lift. A little pricey but if you want wind protection I believe this is your best bet. https://f4customs.com/windshield-for-ryker.html

Do you need to change the handle bars for that to fit?

I wonder how bad of a hit the Ryker takes in MPG when riding with a windshield? My previous bike was a 2002 Suzuki Marauder 800. When I installed the windshield, I lost four miles per gallon.
I installed the adjustable sport windshield from Can-Am and documented the steps to install in this YouTube video. The windshield was relatively easy to install and it does provide some help with the wind at higher speeds, but on the highway the buffeting is still too much. I think I will be looking to another windshield and will try out the Madstad windshield. I had a Madstad windshield on my Spyder and I loved it (except for the look of it).

I just checked the two fill up’s for my Ryker so far in April. According to my gas log app, I was getting 179 miles per tank full. First fill up got me 5.5 gallons, for 32.9 mpg. The second fill up got me 5.4 gallons, for 32.7 mpg. I’m pretty happy with that. This is mostly highway speeds with the F4 Customs Ryker windshield.

I recall watching a YouTube video where the poster said they needed to swap out the handle bars. I don't recall what they used, but it should be pretty easy to track down the video.

most use the Outlander handlebars - these fit perfect, I found used Aprilia-Mille handlebars which have around the same size - with the Rally handlebars its not so easy to clip it up&down like here: ..

I'm a new ryker owner and non-experienced motorcycle driver. I don't know if it's just that I'm not used to it but the first couple of times I've been out for short drives on my ryker I really noticed the wind resistance. I was wondering how much of a difference a windshield would make. For those of you that have one, has it cut down a wind a lot?
Also wondering if anybody has any feedback on the show chrome windshield here? https://www.slingmods.com/canam-ryker-adjustable-windshield-show-chrome?vehicle=4
It sounds like the f4csustoms windshield is one of if not the best windshields for the ryker, but it's pretty pricey especially in Canada

Im 6 feet 2 inches tall, using the small Can Am shield, and it does a great job in my opinion. It is small enough so I freely can look over it, but still does a good job of keeping wind from my chest.
Im happy with it, but there are quite a few aftermarket options out there, both small and large.

See my post farther up. ^^^
The Puig 5022H is slightly larger than the stock Can Am windshield and blocks the wind perfectly for me. I prefer to look over the windshield.
