• 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.

    Any Skid Pan Recommendations for a 2022 Ryker Sport?

    Can anyone recommend a decent skid pan for the 2022 Ryker Sport that provides adequate protection for the occasional (easy) ride down a gravel, or even a halfway decent forest service road? There seems to be a few of them out there, some aluminum (preferred), some plastic. I don’t want to turn...

    Has anyone seen or have info on this electric Ryker shifter mod?

    Happy with it so far. Have added a Show Chrome Reverse Lever Cover (extender), which give me better purchase/control with my foot. Next up is making a little platform to cover the pillion section of the Ultimate seat, so that an Igloo cooler will sit there a little more stable. Will be picking...

    Any Pro/Con comments on Ryker OEM Heated Grips? Anyone installed them?

    I asked the lady I bought the bike from and she said they considered them, but thought they were a little pricey. They just settled on the wind deflectors for the hand guards. Back then, they just may have been the ON/OFF type with no real temperature control, or an aftermarket version that did...

    Any Pro/Con comments on Ryker OEM Heated Grips? Anyone installed them?

    Further update on the BRP Grip Heaters. I've kinda got a handle on how to adjust the temperature setting on the grips now and used them real-time this evening when I rode over to our church's Weds. evening dinner, it was in the low 40's. I had pulled out my gloves to put on but decided to stash...

    Has anyone seen or have info on this electric Ryker shifter mod?

    Thank you. Oh boy! Self-taught wanna be, but not a professional. My career path is somewhat muddled and swapped back and forth from electronics/electrical, to combination electrical/mechanical, back to electrical, and eventually mechanical again... all at my own discretion. I built the garage...

    Has anyone seen or have info on this electric Ryker shifter mod?

    Thanks again. Yeah, I’ve had a 5mm that I’d cut the short arm down awhile back, and that’s what I used to loosen, and s-l-o-w-l-y back the bolt out originally, but didn’t do anything with the long arm to get up in behind the remainder of the airbox molding. By that time my knees and back were...

    Has anyone seen or have info on this electric Ryker shifter mod?

    Thanks to both. Already figured the airbox would have to come off. That's what I have my air horns attached to, but they'll come off with it (the highway pegs have been removed). Also, I do have a small Chapman set that has a miniature ratchet for those types of bits, so I may get lucky and...

    Has anyone seen or have info on this electric Ryker shifter mod?

    Curious what magic double-jointed Allen wrench you used to get up in there to loosen/tighten the bolt - especially after you repositioned the lever more to the rear? I was able to get the bolt loose and out, but if I'd repositioned the lever, I couldn't see a way to get it tightened back up...

    Any Pro/Con comments on Ryker OEM Heated Grips? Anyone installed them?

    LOL! I have loads of "I shulda done it this way" experiences. Part of life and we (hopefully) learn from it. Appreciate the comment on the bike. I think I really got lucky in my perfectly timed search for a three-wheeler that was loaded down with options that allow me to continue my...

    Any Pro/Con comments on Ryker OEM Heated Grips? Anyone installed them?

    In one regard, that (switched) connection will keep prying finger from activating your grips when you're away from the bike and running down your battery. Also, IIRC, that connection uses a 7.5A fuse, so you may be pushing the envelope on that, depending on the current draw of the grip heaters...

    Anyone considered towing a Cargo Trailer with their Ryker?

    Interesting. That's very close to what I was consider doing. My concern is the integrity of lateral (side-to-side) support.

    Anyone considered towing a Cargo Trailer with their Ryker?

    Okay, I have an idea in my mind’s eye but need to get some thinner gauge plate I can easily (and more quickly) cut out into some forms with my plasma cutter that I think will work. Also eliminates the need for any longer bolts to test it out to see if it’s even feasible after tack welding the...

    Any Pro/Con comments on Ryker OEM Heated Grips? Anyone installed them?

    Well, I did decide to bite the bullet and ordered them from Leaders RPM Shop through eBay; they had the best pricing. Gonna have to pull the LH fairing panel and top cover off, as well as removing the glove box for the install. I have managed run other wiring without pulling glove box, so we'll...

    Anyone considered towing a Cargo Trailer with their Ryker?

    Yes, I'd like that too.... especially on the LH side where it looks like you tied into the swingarm (???. Also, it also appears that the trailer is a single-wheeled type, similar to the older Unigo. (???) That's another question. My Ryker came fully loaded with the full SwingMods luggage...

    Anyone considered towing a Cargo Trailer with their Ryker?

    Older thread, but I’m interested in this as well because I’ve towed a CycleMate CM 1000 utility trailer behind my ’95 Kawasaki Concours for years. Several years ago I won a set of Delkevic slip-on pipes for the bike at a COG rally down in Helen, GA. Unfortunately, they weren’t compatible with...

    Blue Ridge Pkwy Fall Foliage Video Clip

    Last Friday the foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) in Central Virginia was supposed to be approaching peak, so I took a little run over that way to check it out. I left N. Chesterfield and headed west on Rte. 60 and took it over to where it intersected with the Parkway, roughly 123 miles. I...

    Any Pro/Con comments on Ryker OEM Heated Grips? Anyone installed them?

    Back when the earth was still hot, I got a set of Kimpex grip heaters for my Kawasaki Concours. These were the type that had a dropping resistor that enabled a “low” setting. Thought that was a little flaky so I never installed them (sold them on eBay). A year or so later, a bike accessory...

    Any Pro/Con comments on Ryker OEM Heated Grips? Anyone installed them?

    Curious if anyone has installed Ryker OEM Heated Grips, part # 219401115, and have pro/con comments? Since I ride year-round, I've installed them on my other 2-wheelers. Now with a 2022 Ryker Sport, I am considering doing the same. anyone? TIA

    Anyone running 80/100w H4 bulbs in their Ryker?

    Not being familiar with the various CanAm 3-wheelers, I kinda suspected that was a Spyder front end.
