I changed out the KYB front shocks on my Rally model with a set of 400 mm replacements as recommended by chris56. So far I am happier with nearly 7" of clearance under the radiator and have not identified any downside. Time will tell regarding durability.

I tried a different design without the air reservoir. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It did include 3 sets of inserts for the eyes in different sizes including 10 mm. Because the front end is now higher relative to the seat I do have to sit up straight to see over the windscreen.

Can you post some pics? Curious to see the difference in ride height. Thanks!

Lets try this. I added the ruler for scale.

It currently has 6.5 inches of clearance under the radiator. Stock was 4.5 inch.

Thanks! Yeah I can see the difference. How does it handle?

Little change in handling. The seat is several inches higher so you feel slightly more body roll just due to the seating position. The spring rate and damping rate on the shocks seem to be well balanced.

I put a Madstad windshield on yesterday. Went for a little ride today to see how it was, and got caught in a monsoon. I was glad I had it instead of the little Mickey Mouse factory one. So far I like it a lot.

I haven't been updating this on a regular basis so I will just do a big dump right now.
What I upgraded this year:
My helmet first and foremost....went to the new Scorpion Covert X modular helmet
Windshield is the Puig 5022H - Its a universal windshield that allows me to see over it while still deflecting most of the wind that was making highway riding annoying. Perfect height but maybe could be a little wider because my forearms (when bare) feel a lot of wind. Looks real nice on the Ryker too.
Baja Rons Sway Bar End Links - Only the end links and I notice a big difference changing lanes or scootin' around corners.Much less dipping. I will eventually get he sway bay itself in the future.
Reflector replacements for the fenders. I replaced them with the LED lightbars that slingmods sells. HUGE difference in visibility now.They are lit all teh time and can be seen from the front, back and side...making me a wider visual target.
The horn...'nuf said

I had a K@N air filter delivered from amazon today, i picked up a ultra guard indoor cover, tank protector, tinted plate cover and side mount drink holder from UPS in Detroit on Thursday, unfortunately i wont be home for another 5 days so they will all have to wait until then, maybe then i can get me some more riding in.

Decided it was a good day to go get coffee, then a nice 40 mile no-destination ride around Marion County, before I got caught in the rain.

Looks nice, looks like it would do a good job of blocking the wind (& bugs).

Here is the puig in light smoke. It does a great job of blocking the wind but still allows me to look over the top.

At 5'11" it keeps most of the air off my chest. Air starts just below my helmet with little in the way of turbulence on my head. I notice little if any input to the steering with the bar mounted shield even in strong quartering head winds. Does what I wanted it to do.

One year since I bought my Ryker, so it was time for service! Got around 2500 very enjoyable miles in the seat so far
Was a nice long trip to the dealer, about 400 miles with an overnight stay at my parents summer house. The riding season is coming to an end in Sweden, but hopefully I will get a few more trips done before plugging in the battery tender for the winter storage.
