• 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.

Ryker Rally body panels

Being retired I must have a little extra time on my hands (actually my priorities need straightening). I bought the three upper body panels from https://www.cheapcycleparts.com/oem...626b6d/2019-ryker-rally-edition-900-ace-parts
I think the total cost was around 120$. That way I could revert back and forth to the original panels at times. I wanted to get a new gas cover anyway. I painted the original cover. If you look closely at the painted one you'll see why. The nick is from a cheapo helmet lock. I wonder if new yellow side panels would match the painted yellow or repaint the yellow. Has anyone found any paint to match the red and silver. That would temp me to repaint using that extra time I have. (next year)

good job, you got to have some thing to keep you out of bars and off the streets!!!!:roflblack:
 
I like the design but I think the color choice could improve... there's always a next time now with extra panels. I'll probably take more pictures after installing. Lousy wet weather now and debating/waiting to clear coat.

Here's the results of staying out the bars, and only on the streets with Ryker. Old color yellow, repainted to color shown. No paint color name on spray can. I also installed the Show Chrome Windshield. It seems to be around 1" taller than Can Am shield. much wider though. As a lot of people know the red? side panels are impossible to match paint color, as far as I know. I'm thinking of and working up the courage to repaint them maybe semi gloss white.

How do you like the show chrome windshield? I saw some reports of it vibrating a lot.

I rode 118 miles last Sunday with it. It was quite windy. It did vibrate more than the Can Am shield. But I didn't really get distracted by it or anything. It would not be a deal breaker to me. Heck, the handlebar/mirrors vibrate.
