• 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.

    Ryding in the heavy Italian rain over the Alps

    we are used to ryde in the rain - but also with much better tires ( Hankook on the back - Imperial on the front) its not possible to ryde more than 50miles/hour if you are solo with small luggage in heavy rain .. maybe its better with the Spyders due to the higher weight :)...

    Starting in the 4th Season... only 8 volts!

    This year my battery was on the end (only 8volts) after the 4 month of Winter Sleep, so I connected a charger the first time for some hours. She is still OK now, no reason to change it (built 2018 !) After the start you should always make a longer trip (50-100 miles) to stabilize the Voltage ...

    How I've fitted a large touring tank bag onto the Ryker

    When we ordered our Ryker 900 it was clear, that we will use it as a 2up touring machine, which should replace our "old" motorcycles what we used in the last 37 years.. For all our luggage we need around 100 liters (minimum :opps:) for a comfortable 2-weeks holiday-tour ! Its not a question if...

    which was your most spectacular tour ??

    here in Slovenia/Italy is the "Mangart" high Alpin road up to around 7.000 feet, no problem for our Ryker .. but you need a real brave passenger;) I think you will not find more curves on only ten miles (16km) like here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHZi05bFNRg&t=337s

    alternative front tires for the Ryker

    I ordered now the 165/50 R16 size ( instead of 145/60 ) after I saw some Ryders who installed a Nankang in this version without a Problem with the Fenders or the VSS, We need better "rain-tires" here in the Alps, so I took the ones from "Imperial" (Belgian brand) - there would be also one from...

    HowTo: Ryker - Riser for the back shock

    We use longer shocks on the front, but for our 2up tours we are still not satisfy with the expensive Fox-shock what was installed from beginning on, she is too low on the back. After a longer Italian tour, where we bottomed out some times and got some cuts in the fender and on the swing arm, we...

    what fits in the Ryker glove-box ..

    mine is full ! Here in Europe we have to carry two safety vests, a warning triangle and a first aid kit, so its not much space for tools. I have a Torx screwdriver with a rotating handle if some screws are too tight, a pliers and insulating tape .. thats all

    Ryker with two Shad Sidecases

    Sold my Can-Am Case and installed two of the smaller SH23 - they open the lid which is much better than the side.. price is around the same as the original with the bracket .. You need two adapters per side, I used 4mm Aluminium -- here are the pictures...

    Ryker - two Shad side-cases with a helmet - lock

    Shad and Givi do not offer (yet) a suitable luggage set, so I ordered the system from a BMW S1000XR -(the one from a Ducati Diavel might also fit) With two simple adapter parts (4mm aluminum) it now fits quite robustly (hopefully) on the max-mount - I used the smaller SH23 case and mounted it as...

    Ryker-bracket for a Shad Case on the left side

    My new project now. My girl wants more luggage for our next tour ! So I want to install a bracket under the driver seat (on the same point where to right one is fixed) to add a second Shad-case. It should be "stronger" than the 3-case-Idea from Slingmods, where all the load is behind the...

    they cancelt the famos 100 years of ROTAX event this year - so only 6 Ryders visited the Grossglockner this year (privat meeting) for the 300 miles we where ryding more than eight hours on one day - the Ryker is also 2up really perfect for roads like this, easier to handle a little faster and...
