Good question. Answer depends on too many factors though. I ordered a medium since I don't want to look through it but my situation is similar: bike is 500 miles away and my screen got hung up in shipping and I don't have it yet. After reading the post about raising the extra large, I'm wondering if the medium is too small. Then again, the gentleman who needed to raise the extra large WANTED to look through it. My only gripe with Mark is that there was no place on his website to track the shipment. I emailed him and he quickly replied though (supposed to be here today.....)

I was sent a USPS tracking # in separate email? I'll find out soon enough and report back. I just want to be not beat up by the wind, it's horrible here, most of the time. Even if I went full faceshield helmet, body still get's the abuse. Would like to see yours once you get setup!

Mine came today, looks really good but no way to tell how it will fit. There is a photo though, thread "modification to a CalSci windscreen" or similar, of a rider with a medium. Judging by his height and the profile photo, I think medium is going to work for me.

Good to hear! I opened the box, but not the packages, tools required? Let me know how it pans out, I'm frosty the snowman until Mon/Tues I suspect.

Good evening folks, I decided to put this here instead of opening a new thread. Since I bought this has bothered me (see picture). Today I'm putting on accessories there it is. So I pull gently, it's tight, I look at riding pegs, I still have ( think) two more sections to move that peg back, but there is no way it would as that wire is tight as it is.

Is this normal? Shouldn't these wires have more room to move pegs back if wanted? Thanks for looking! Ryker Rally Edition

The rail that the peg/brake pedal are mounted to has markings where the settings were imagined by Can-Am. You should be close to the back as it is, hard to tell from the angle of the picture. There is a lot more room on the rails that are not usable by design. The body work has tabs on it that stop the pegs from moving too far forward/backward.
I got curious one day since it looked like I had more room to move the peg farther forward than it was going, so I crawled about looking at the set up.

Thank you for the response. Yes, I believe there are two more sections to my rail. It appears I cannot move the pedal back as right now those wires are already taunt. Is everyone else like this with just wires exposed? Can you move your pedals all the way back? I'll be able to get it out today to see, it was jammed in the shop from other equipment, couldn't get to it.

You'll need to look in there real good. I just went out and looked at mine: the wires are part of the unit and they move with it. On yours, they may be hung up on something down there. The first photo is with the unit all the way back.

Yes. I'm guessing if they had a bunch of slack hanging they zip tied it? There would have to be that much adjustment in the wire for the length of the footrest rail. I'm going to bring it up with dealer when I get a chance to go in......This week hopefully.

Ryker hard shiftiing into reverse

Having hard time getting it into reverse anyone having same problem or any solution?

 

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

Oh, and my next endeavor is to make a manual wheelchair mount/rack. My buddy owns machine shop so we'll see what we come up with. I think I can get my manual wheelchair strapped in passenger seat, jury is out on that yet as my chair tears up the back seat with it's hardware.

I think a good place to start is to check out the mounting setup for the Max Mount. Whatever you come up with you should be able to mount to the Ryker using the Max Mount screw holes. Maybe even modify or start out with the Max Mount itself.

Agree. It will have to be. I assume could just run supports underside maxmount and use flush screws of some type drill through maxmount as needed? (goal is to keep factory passenger working/useable). I haven't had time to get with my friend, they are swamped with work too, he has family kids/projects. I may have to go to the blacksmith, he get's things done quick but he's retail on labor but can negotiate with cash. I own a bike now, I'm broke.

I've been using my hand. When trying to use it with my foot with flip flops on, I've been unsuccessful in going into reverse with my toes. I still need to see if I can go into reverse with my boots on, using my heel instead.

There is a guy on one of the Gold Wing Forums who goes by 'Wheels.'

He is on his second Gold Wing which has a wheel chair mount. You might find this interesting.
