• 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.

    Drilling through Max Mount

    What's Wrong with the Ryker?

    maybe just a misunderstanding if a Spyder-Ryder asks - "whats wrong with a Ryker" .. we used since 2008 a GS & an RT for more than 40.000 miles - now we have more time (retired) and plan longer tours & wanted something faster/better handling/durable/easier to repair .. 16.000 miles now - most...

    Outlander fairing - are these the right parts/part #'s ???

    Hello Cueman, most time we use the smaller one - it looks better, I cuttet the top of the 11" shield to a 9" Version ( 5 minutes job) after some test-rydes it was too high for me ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uZGa6HBr_o&t=41s

    Review: 2020 Ryker 6,000 mile review

    I fully understand your wife (greetings !) - try the following : give away the complete passenger seat and make a test with your wife on a cushion direkt on the maxmount ... I use a special foam ( 1 inch high) and a topcase (GIVI) with a soft backrest for her - 16.000 miles now sometimes eight...

    Spyders in Europe - any tips about renting one there, or shipping mine fm the States?

    .. if we would visit America, we would take ONE Spyder RT and ride 2up with all the luggage.. if you plan to ride here in the Alps or in Italy, where the roads are smaller maybe you take two Rykers - some roads are dangerous for Motorcycles ... to get an Idea about different targets search...

    What would you choose? Spyder vs Ryker

    after around 40.000 miles on GS/ RT Spyders we changed to a Ryker 900 and invested around 2.500,- on extras for our use - we ride here in the Mountains or on longer tours to the Italian coast - 16.000 miles now without any real problem - its built for roads like this, better handling / faster /...

    BajaRon swaybar/longer shocks - test ryde up to 13.000 feet

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I made the service at 12.000 miles - the old belt still looks good, but they changed it - the TOYO tire on the back should work another 3-4.000 miles .. rest is OK !!

    New handlebars/heated grips

    we use our Ryker as a 2up touring-machine here in the Austrian Alps (16.000 miles now) - with the higher Handlebars I sit straight, much better feeling and handling on longer tours, I use the Oxford grips, because of the better controller - the handlebars are used ones from an Aprilia Mille...
