[RykerRick]

Hello everyone. I'm Rick and I'm in Florida (central Gulf Coast). I recently purchased a 2020 Ryker Rally last Thursday and I've been enjoying every minute of it. I've been following the forum for the last couple of months and since I pulled the trigger on one, I thought I would join. I'm 59 and I've been riding two wheelers since I was 14. This is my first 3 wheeler and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I still have a couple of two wheel bikes left in the stable that I plan on keeping. That being said, the Rally has been getting all the seat time since coming home with me. I'm still in that two wheel to 3 wheel transition stage, still getting use to no clutch, no front brake lever, and no shifting.

I took it on a 150 mile ride yesterday and the only thing I need to change at this time would be a nicer more comfortable seat. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I've added the LinQ rack and the quick release sport bag, also the sport windscreen. Now I'm considering some auxiliary driving lights. Any recommendations for those would also be appreciated. Here's a photo, and yes the dealer installed the bag in reverse, I didn't notice it until I got home and started taking photos of the bike. Anyway, thanks for having me.

Either BRP comfort seat or a Corbin. I prefer the Corbin but that's me. PIAA lights may be a little extreme but...

Congratulations.:2thumbs:..welcome to the 3 wheel world. Have you checked out the Air Hawk seat cushion. It may get you by for a (long?) while. About 90$

I might try the Comfort seat first, and those are a little extreme, but they do look cool. I like the brush guard too. If you dont mind me asking, where did you hook them up to for the power source? Did you also mount a switch on the Handlebar?

Thanks, I do have an Airhawk from one of my other bikes that should fit it. I haven't tried yet but wasn't sure if the retainer straps will be able to go under the seat. Ill have to check it out tomorrow.

Hooked straight to the battery and have a switch on the left handlebar by the headlight hi/low switch. A lot of my riding is on back dirt roads at night so I like the extra lighting (also have LED's in headlights).

Welcome, Rick!
You may want to give the factory solo seat a little more time before giving up on it.

Welcome aboard. You're going to love the Ryker, I love mine. Like you, I'm also considering a replacement for the seat. Many miles and smiles.

Welcome!

I have the comfort seat and its been pretty good to me, though I haven't gone on any extra long rides. I mostly use it for commuting to work. Over a year riding it and still have that big smile on my face.
Its like when you were a kid and were riding that go cart around your neighborhood. Only now,you're an adult...and its LEGAL. woohoo!

I just put on the Puig 5022H windshield last week and can finally enjoy the highway riding so I suspect longer rides are in my future.
