Handlebar rotation

[CTAC]

From the start, my objective is to take this roadster type platform and make it closer to a cruiser. People can make fun of me that I have added a cup holder, GPS, gel seat pad, backrest mounted storage, etc.... but, not to over-dramatize it, the handlebar modification and adding lumbar support has made all the difference in the world for ergonomics. Two-up trips of more than 150 miles are now practical for us.

Nobody can make fun of you, because most of us have done all those things to our F3's and Rt's to make them more comfortable! This is no different.
Way to go CTAC! Ignore the naysayers that say the Ryker can't be used for long distance touring.

When I get mine I will be driving it to work during the summer months and I will want a cup holder for my coffee and probably a lumbar support. So, thank you for being one of the pioneers for the Ryker.

I say it's your bike......so do as you like. Making it your own and being comfortable is the way to go.

Rather than removing all the controls to achieve a more comfortable riding position i added ROX risers to my Rally. I used the 3.5" risers. I now have the ability to adjust fore and aft as well as up and down for a customized riding position. The bike is now easier to manuver and feels more settled. Added bonus is my elbows are naturally bent and i am not placing all my upper body weight on my hands and arms.
