Nico75, I purchsed it for $289.99 and did the work myself, not difficult at all. I can see the speedo fine. However haven't driven it since the install as we have snow here in Canada so the first drive with the changes
will have to wait until the snow clears and it gets warm enough. Can't wait!
Hi cjc96ryker thanks for replying I'll see about getting the speedo kit in 2020 . We don't have snow yet here in UK but it can come anytime now , but we have bad flooding in parts of country, people have to leave their homes. Have a good thanksgiving. Best regards Nico 75
Made some changes here over the last few days. In the first photo, just above the license plate you can see a Feniex strobe that I added as a brake light. In the second photo, you can see the LED driving lights I added to the front. Photo 3 shows them on with high beams. Photos 4 & 5 show the red trim added from Slingmods to match the hood. Still waiting on my paint guy to finish the side panels. They will be red on top, and flat black on the sides. And there is a new solo comfort seat under the Christmas Tree!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Calling an illegal immigrant an undocumented worker, is like calling the corner drug dealer an unlicensed Pharmacist.

It's raining outside, SOooo I replaced my headlights with the H4's that my wife bought me from Amazon. BeamTech H4 LED headlights. And before you decide to purchase them because they are inexpensive and work very well, make sure you are prepared to remove the headlights to install them. They DO fit, BUT with the shape of the base and the bulky rubber boot, there is no way any normal person can maneuver them into the socket without first removing the whole headlight. And that means, not only the side trim panels, but also the glove box and then the lights. But, they really do look good. And I have no problem taking the cycle apart when necessary, as long as I can get the plastic to fit back snugly again. And it did go back together without having to purchase new dragon(?) plugs. The plastic plugs, in case I did not get the right name for them. On cars, I have had to replace the rubber plugs.
My next project is to install a new handlebar. I do not like leaning forward when I am riding. So, I purchased a slightly higher handlebar so that I can have more of an upright position. But, that is for another post.
I am looking for Boot Heel Ryker riders. After keeping a eye the forum for a while, I have questions and concerns before I buy a Ryker. I have learned that having buddies in any endeavor is always a plus. - Andy
Installed new handlebar that I picked up on Amazon for $30. I also added new ISO grips. Man, what a difference in comfort. Now, I have a more upright position and the grips are larger in diameter and padded. I have a Rally and the grips were too long to get the hand guards back on, but I do not plan to run my Ryker through the woods anyway. Never had hand guards on my Harleys so I won't miss them. My next project will be making a removable luggage rack with standoffs for my saddlebags.Handlebar02.jpg The handlebar is actually higher than showing on the photo, because I have them positioned more to the rear toward the driver. They look low in the photo but they have about a five inch rise in them and are a couple inches longer than the stock bar.
Did you/anyone see the sling mods saddle bag setup and stereo system?
Nothing against Sling Mods but I am retired and on a fixed income, and I find proprietary products to be very pricey. I shop around the discount sites for after market, generic products that I can use to give me the same comfort and mods for way less money. Do not get me wrong, those companies that specialize in products for the Ryker put out quality, but the wife(treasurer) puts a bit of a crimp on unnecessary spending. As for the stereo system, I do not ever listen for music when I am on the road. I find that my attention stays "tuned" to the happenings around me. I don't even listen to the radio in my four wheeled cage when I am on the road.
Can you say how much the Russel seat was for the Ryker? You have a picture?
I don't have picture yet. I paid $500 for them to make the seat, I sent my comfort seat to them, so they can make the seat using the base of the comfort seat. This is my 4th Russell seat and loved every single one of them. My longest day on Russell seat was 693 miles only stops were food, gas
