Just thinking about buying a Ryker Rally and was wondering if anybody had recomendations for a windshield? Seen the Can Am versionand it looks to small. Any thoughts ? Thanks
I bought the normal 900 and added their "Can-Am outlander fairing" - so I have handprotectors - GPS & Drinkholders .. its an easy plug & play system if you don`t need it ..
Outlander fairing - Fox-shock - BajaRon Swaybar - Hankook tire/ back - 165/50 Imperial tires front & longer front shocks - GIVI Topase - Shad sidecases -heated grips - new seats
We got the F4 customs windshields for our Rykers. The level of clarity is awesome. It's a 16 inch with a recurve up top to give another 2 inches of lift. A little pricey but if you want wind protection I believe this is your best bet. https://f4customs.com/windshield-for-ryker.html

Do you need to change the handle bars for that to fit?

I have the 2021 Rally, I turned the handlebars upside and down and backwards but I can not get the deluxe fairing to install.. the angle is not enough on for the mounts...did you have to do anything special or replace the handlebars?
I wonder how bad of a hit the Ryker takes in MPG when riding with a windshield? My previous bike was a 2002 Suzuki Marauder 800. When I installed the windshield, I lost four miles per gallon.
I installed the adjustable sport windshield from Can-Am and documented the steps to install in this YouTube video. The windshield was relatively easy to install and it does provide some help with the wind at higher speeds, but on the highway the buffeting is still too much. I think I will be looking to another windshield and will try out the Madstad windshield. I had a Madstad windshield on my Spyder and I loved it (except for the look of it).

I just checked the two fill up’s for my Ryker so far in April. According to my gas log app, I was getting 179 miles per tank full. First fill up got me 5.5 gallons, for 32.9 mpg. The second fill up got me 5.4 gallons, for 32.7 mpg. I’m pretty happy with that. This is mostly highway speeds with the F4 Customs Ryker windshield.

I recall watching a YouTube video where the poster said they needed to swap out the handle bars. I don't recall what they used, but it should be pretty easy to track down the video.

most use the Outlander handlebars - these fit perfect, I found used Aprilia-Mille handlebars which have around the same size - with the Rally handlebars its not so easy to clip it up&down like here: ..
I'm a new ryker owner and non-experienced motorcycle driver. I don't know if it's just that I'm not used to it but the first couple of times I've been out for short drives on my ryker I really noticed the wind resistance. I was wondering how much of a difference a windshield would make. For those of you that have one, has it cut down a wind a lot?

Im 6 feet 2 inches tall, using the small Can Am shield, and it does a great job in my opinion. It is small enough so I freely can look over it, but still does a good job of keeping wind from my chest.
Im happy with it, but there are quite a few aftermarket options out there, both small and large.

I did notice that and I like the look of it but it seems to be out of stock everywhere I've looked so far. I can't see to find one to buy anywhere.
Yeah, looks like most places are backordered until early to mid may. If you can make it that long I would suggest doing it. It's fairly inexpensive compared to the others and it's good quality.
I recently installed my F4 windshield. Wow, what a difference. My ride is so much more enjoyable. With the protection the shield offers, I can now wear my half helmet. I’m 5’9, so I’m looking through the windshield (which is how I prefer it).

I wrote lamonstergarage.com to ask when they expect more in stock
