Make your own accessories!
If you own a 3D printer one of the things you can make
is your own throttle hold or cruise control.
These two files are available on Thingiverse free to download
and print, they work very well.
I am always thinking up stuff to 3D print, either to save money
or to just make things you cannot buy.
It got me thinking, those plastic wheel accents Can Am sells
for $50 dollars, Really! I am going to design some to 3D
print for about $50 cents and have any color I want.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to print one.

After the wife struggled a little to reach and activate the reverse lever I decided to design
a handle for the gear lever.
I made a couple of different ones and settled for one with a rough texture and glow in
the dark filament. lol
I also moved the gear lever several inches closer so now she can easily use her hand
or foot to activate it.

How about this shifter design, don't laugh, the wife likes this one a lot.
I call it the shovel handle shifter. haha
I can make the STL files available on Thingiverse if anyone want to 3D print there very own.

Keep posting your 3D printing projects. Whether people like them or not. It does not matter. Folks who like your ideas can copy it. For those who don't it may stimulate ways of taking your idea and making it better. So everybody wins.
So thanks.

Awesome job! Having a 3D printer is very handy. I use mine for all sorts of projects...
Here's a headphone/jack mount I made for the Cardo Packtalk:

I also made a RAM mounting plate that affixes to the center of the stem/handlebars on the Ryker. Unfortunately, I deleted the project by accident. I plan to remake it eventually...

Nice job on the headphone jack, the RAM mount sounds interesting, to bad you deleted it, did you get a picture of it?
I like the satisfaction of creating and making my own stuff.

Jimmy...3D printing has sure come a long way in the last 25 years. Fun stuff. 3D computer modeling has been the favorite part of my jobs for over 30 years. Working on a custom trunk and trailer hitch assembly for my F3T - final run on hitch will be metal.

Don

Right now I have a Anycubic I3 Mega and a Anycubic Photon.
Print mostly using PLA filament.

Would you recommend the Anycubic I3 Mega or suggest looking for something else?

How happy are you with this printer? I was thinking of getting this model...

I would recommend this printer 100%, best bang for the buck and very well built and reliable.

FWIW, I own 3 3D printers:
1. Prusa MK3s
2. Creality Ender 3 Pro
3. Creality CR10s Pro
The Prusa MK3s is my favorite printer; it's also the most expensive. 99.9% of the print jobs I send to it come out perfect.
The Creality Ender 3 Pro is my second favorite printer. It's fairly reliable and has the largest enthusiast/Internet following. You can customize/modify this printer to your heart's content.
The Creality CR10S Pro is my least favorite printer of the bunch. It has the capabilities of being a nice large format printer but several flaws keep it from being reliable or consistent.

My final design of my reverse gear select!
Posted this on Thingiverse for those who want to print there own.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3760108
If you do lets see some pictures.
------------
Larger handle for the reverse gear select lever.
Will fit all models of the Can Am Ryker.
This will make it much easier to change gears either
using you foot or your hand.
I also lifted the gear lever off the spine and rotated it back further,
This is completely optional on your part.
I also added a washer in front of the handle so it would not
slide over the raised portion of the shaft, again optional.

Another useful 3D item to print for your Ryker, all models.
A helmet holder for the handlebars!
Print one or two for both sides, makes it convenient to hang your helmet on.

3D printing
Hi, new member here.
I recently purchased a crashed 2012 spyder RSS in hopes of rebuilding it not realizing how difficult it would be since the bike is not that old, but the majority of parts are already unavailable.
Anyhow, since I am into 3D printing, I designed and printed the gear shift lever and replaced the original. Now looking into possibly printing out "RH Front Panel" in black since I can't find one anywhere.

CoolPickle, is your RSS an SE5 or an SM5?
