What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

[canamryder]

I just finished up running "Tender" wires out of a basement window, and under the deck, to the Ryker shed. I haven't ran electric out there, probably never will. I was rotating three power banks out there every 24-40 hrs. last year. I'll still use the power banks for lights, and stereo. (if I'm not using the ear buds) Most all power tools are battery operated now anyway. I did this after a 35 mile Ryker ride to Rock Cut State Park, near Rockford Il. East side of 4 mile loop around lake is still closed down for road improvements, I found out it's for all Summer...daaang.

Not today but I did just start using them this week so I can finally talk about them.

I added the wind deflectors that mount to the Ryker hand guards. So far I am loving the improvement on my hands and arms. No wind chill on my hands anymore.

Do you have cruise control? One of the reviews on Amazon says they don’t fit if you have cruise control but Canams site says fits all Ryker models. I’d like a set but not sure they’ll fit my 22 Rally.

The 2019 didn't come with cruise control. They mount right to the standard Ryker hand guards so i don't see how they would interfere with the cruise control. Unless the handguards on cruise control models are different?

They still allow the mounting of the handguard lighting as well.

Ok thanks. Didn’t realize yours is a 2019.

I put them on my wife’s 23 Sport and it has cruise control.

Ok, thanks. Good to know.

I was feeling some uncomfortable buzz in the grips so added some bar end weights:

Seems to have done the trick, and for 34.99 delivered I'd recommend them to anybody. I chose the black and installed them with 6mmx90mm bolts, they look like they were meant to be there. You can order these through Amazon too, but they were cheaper direct from LuckyBike.

And I pulled that tether off the gas cap, it was just too fiddley to live with. A little soapy water and the grommets pulled out of their keepers at each end, so it can be put back if needed.

Not today but on last Tuesday. I added a Corbin seat. Looks great and feels great. I have had Corbin seats on all of my prior rides.

 

[greer]

^^ Whoa, that is a good looking seat!

Got thru with the color and pin striping on the bike. I added saddlebags painted to color match the red on my bike; Ultimate seat; 400mm front shocks with stock springs from a RS 990 front shocks; 1 inch spacer on the rear shock. Also added double car horns and key fob which is connected to the starter relay.

Followed BLR Tuning's Youtube how-to on adjusting the Forward/Reverse shifter more to the rear, my goodness I can't believe what a difference it's made! Shifting with my foot is easy as can be now. I don't know why in the world the factory sets it so far forward.

I moved mine also. No need for a hand shifter with a nod. So easy to shift with the foot.

I'm sure a lot of riders know this, but I find it easier to shift into reverse by placing your heel over the top of the extension and pulling back.

Ordered the Can Am Comfort Seat, I'm not expecting a miracle but hoping for some improvement at least. It doesn't take long for butt burn to set in with that too soft stock seat.

My Ryker seems stable as can be on a smooth road at interstate speeds. With the cruise set at 80 I can turn loose of the bars with no drama other than a slow drift to the right. It's a little different story on our worn and patched rural roads, but I'm hardly noticing now that I've gotten in a few more miles. Taking tight fast curves with bumps and dips in the road can be a little unnerving though, it that where an upgraded sway bar and end links might be a benefit?

Received the steering damper the other day so going to install that on this week. Also have some stickers to add.

Showchrome full size brake pedal. Love it.

Picked it up. hyea:

^^Congratulations StalkyTracker!

I ordered the saddlebag bracket from RykerLyft on FB. I've got some SKB cases I'm hoping to use, so we'll see. That plastic spoiler on the maxmount was a bear to remove, it pretty much had me so Doug just started wrestling with it and it finally popped out no worse for wear. Sort of like the nose piece did when I installed my radiator guard, I thought sure I'd break something pulling that thing off. The ins and outs of this plastic bodywork takes some getting used to.

I got the wife what is referred to as tank trim for her rally with the name of her bike imprinted in it. I had to paint it the color of her accent trim (hot pink). I installed it yesteray. Looks really nice. I'll try and get a pic of it when the rain stops.
