 Tilting Trikes body kit for Ryker
-
Kind of a misleading thread title.  I thought it was about a tilting trike.

Got some nice lines to it. That said, you can get a LOT of saddlebags for three grand ...
* Checked out their website, and they're currently in pre-order. Body kit is due out mid May?
PS - their tilting suspension looks ... intriguing. Still in prototype, but I imagine that will end up a bit complicated (and dangerous) for the average backyard wrench. Not to mention really really expensive.

I don’t like it
Saddle bags look better.

Tilting is the next step in the evolution of the reverse trike- kudos to the pioneers. Hopefully BRP is paying attention.

The tilting I like. The bodywork I don't

It appears to be either a love or hate relationship. Was wondering about the price. $2,595 seems a bit pricey for me. It does have a tilting suspension though.
A nice add on for the Ryker. Who is going to be the first site "beta tester?" And....what happened to the $8,799 Ryker? The upgrade will take care of that quick.

I wanted to but 1) they are quite expensive 2) they have a reputation for being horribly unreliable

From what I read on their website the $ 2595.00 ... #1.- does not include shipping .... and #2.- isn't the tilting model ..... they have yet to un-vail that ..... they say soon tho .... Mike

Interesting, but right now all you're getting is a bigger frunk.

Mine was a basket case when I got it, but made a nice winter project. The bad rep is more of a hangover from when the Soviet Union went away - they've slowly improved over time. Mine's been mechanically bulletproof so far - just routine maintenance. That said, I just use it for bopping around the state and wouldn't want to try it for the long haul.

That thing is sweet... If you ever do take it out of state to the one just south, let me know i would love to see it.

I'm guessing the body kit was developed primarily to cover up the workings of the tilting suspension. What's strange is that the body stays parallel with the ground yet the wheels and seat, and handlebars all lean. On a 2 wheeler, leaning is speed dependent so it makes me wonder if somehow the lean angle is strictly turn angle dependent or if speed is factored in as well.
Maybe it's still a prototype but the fit/finish of the body along with the folded over carpet interior doesn't seem like super quality. I've never had an aftermarket fairing so maybe that's acceptable?
