• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

new windshield for the ryker

MadStad Engineering windshield

I purchased the OEM sport windshield, but I haven't mounted it yet. So, I don't have an opinion on how well it works (or not).

I have the MadStad Engineering shield on a couple of my Honda's, and I can't say enough good things about them. Their shields are available in a variety of heights and colors, and the whole mechanism allows for height and rake adjustment. I contacted them via email a few days ago to inquire if/when they would have something available for the Ryker. They didn't have an ETA yet, but said that the Ryker was on their radar. Maybe if enough of us inquired, they might move that project to the front burner?

If I lived on the East coast, I would offer my OEM shield and/or Ryker for beta testing. Any Ryker owners in or near Brooksville, Florida?

@chris56 : Are you required to have any special industry or government certifications for your motorcycle accessories in Austria? For example: CE, TÜV, or other approvals?

YES but Austria is a part from Europe - so each part which is CE tested is allowed to use - the TÜV is more a german system what helps to get the CE approvals .. but there are still some diferent norms in each Country (like tires) - diferent to the USA is the (head-)Lighting System and the max noise of the exhaust, which is lower here in Europe ..
(e.G. - in Austria we have to pay for each vehicle an extra tax depending the CO2-emmissions - so my Ryker 900 is 14% !! more expensive like in Germany or so)
 
I have the oem windshield for my 900. In my opinion worth the money. Even though small gets the job done.
 
My New MRA highway screen- Had to cut the black bottom off to open storage bin. For $110 its a Big improvement (To Me) for the Ryker while Not being Bulbous (Is dat a word?)

Just for the heck of it i tried putting my old honda shadow 750 windshield on my ryker. I was trying to sell it for $50 with no takers. Well, it seems to fit pretty good. I used the included honda mounts but had to make some aluminum adapters for the handlebar mounts. Made these from a old aluminum walker leg. Looks good and fit is very tight. the adapters are because honda handlebars are 1 inch and ryker handlebars are 3/4 inch. Took it out for a ride and the wind does not blow the sunglasses off my face. Seems the windshield top edge is just below my eye level so i don't get much buffering around my head. I like it and it looks better than the factory or the calsci ones i looked at. I'll put a pic up tomorrow.

I like the trim strip along the bottom. I may just do that to my CalSci
 
F4 Customs has the windshield for the Ryker. Had it installed this week and it is a big step up, in quality and usage. Two heights, in either clear or tint. I am really happy with this product!
 
The Can Am OEM windshield is too short for many folks, especially me. I tried to modify mine by making extensions but it didn't work out. I like the ideas above. I am going to search Ebay for an inexpensive replacement and maybe sell mine. It is better than no windshield but the wind still hits just about all my face. It doesn't help that I have added about another inch to my height by using the AirHawk pad. I plan to add new handlebars or risers to my Ryker so I am waiting off on buying a new windshield. The OEM one still keeps most of the rain off my chest.
 
I want to thank you, all, at F4 Customs, for the wonderful windshield, for my Ryker. You guys are great people and great to work with. I love my new Ryker windshield, which is displayed in your video. I highly recomend this windscreen to all.
