I found an app for my android phone that was pretty game changing for my helmet headphones. It's called media volume control.
It automatically adjusts my phone volumes based on how fast I am driving so when I come to a stop the phone goes down to the lowest volume setting so I can pay attention to my surroundings and as I speed up the volume adjusts so I can hear it over the bikes noises. Really convenient so I don't need to fiddle around with my volume settings constantly when going up-and-down highway speeds.
@lokiryker could you provide a link to the app? Or could you show a picture of what the app looks like in the play store?

Installed the new end links. I used a thin piece of galvanized wire to get the spacers onto the end link to bolt on. I also used a 90 degree bit on my drill to speed things up some. Super quick. Make sure to turn your wheels first to give yourself some working room. TOok it for a spin, seems like a little more body roll but more solid turning in curves. Raining today so I need some time to work it out.
Thanks, Made by ZARATE STEEL WORKS In San Antonio, TX. I think it was Moto-Mouse (or something like that )does a bunch of Ryker videos on youtube, went to this guys shop and filmed them being made.
Just curious, why the elite and not the T2. Their videos make it seem like they are the same. Are the elite brighter?
I'm in upgrade limbo, waiting on stuff to arrive while contemplating on what to order next.
The Elite are brighter. I have a friend with the T2, no comparison. I also asked the people at SlingMods and they confirmed that the Elite are a more complete product. They have a separate controller and brighter LED's.
I ordered the Lamonster Garage Black Dymond floorboards and highway pegs for my wife's Ryker. Can't wait to get those on the bike. Her only complaint on our 2000 mile weekend was she wanted highway pegs and bigger floorboards like on my Harley-Davidson Road Glide. We currently have the Commander floorboards on the Ryker (which will promptly be put up for sale once the Black Dymond boards are installed).
Just installed the BajaRon end links. I seem to recall reading elsewhere on these forums that a magnet might be useful when installing the spacers. My spacers were not magnetic (e.g., austenitic stainless steel). My 12 inch hemostat made quick work of it. Hemostat.jpg

Guess I am dexterous enough it took me a couple of tries and I got mine in with my fingers and a little pressure from pushing the bolt in. I saw someone using a bread tie to install them.
Inserted a P1X power tip into the two brothers muffler to maintain my sanity. The exhaust was too loud. Went on my first road trip for an evening dinner with friends. I just bought this 2019 900 ACE two days ago and so far I am a fan. Very enjoyable ride for this 74 year old 2 wheeler for 45 years or so.
Did the RickD daytime running light mod (with some tweaks) and installed a remote battery tender plug in the frunk. Not bad for a rainy day BS tinkering session!
I wired the DRL right into the accessory lighting circuit, so it comes on with the bike and goes off when your marker lights go off after shutting down. I did not use a handlebar mounted switch, it is all automatic. Compliments the Elite LED headlights very well!
I also used a step drill to bore a hole in the front of the frunk (in the weatherstripping) and wired in a battery tender charging port so my wife doesn't have to take the hood off to put it on the tender. Much easier and cleaner, in my opinion.
