• 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.

Custom Painted 900 Ryker

I wonder also what cost to wrap? cueman

For paint, if you took all the pieces off the bike and took it to a local body shop using quality paint, I’d say around $1k. To wrap it doing the same deal this really depends as it depends where you go. It’s a lot of pieces and some of these are a pain to do and time consuming. My guess around $800-$1600. I’m currently doing my bike and have finished it all just gotta put it back together. Cost $100 to do it myself.
 
Yep... if you plan to wrap the entire trike, then probably painting will be cheaper and easier.
The wrap material by itself (good quality) is quite high in $.

If you only wrap a few pieces, then is worth it.

Yeah I have someone in mind for a wrap, but I can't think of what I would do. I keep thinking these look great more simplistic and less color. More murdered out.

The blue does look good though but not for me personally.

Honestly... personally I think these trikes are a perfect canvas for a "rat" look... or bobber style.
I really like what they did at their launch for the Ryker - where they had an artist doing some custom painting, graffiti look on the trikes.

I could see myself doing something similar in the future :).
I just need to come up with my own idea first...
 
Hopefully these pics work. Gotta put everything back on later today and will take some pics. Did my 900 in 3m carbon fiber gloss with red accents and the wife’s 600 im doing in pink.

You mean like the old rat rods?
Boy, that would be hot! I like the juxtaposition of classic vs. modern.

I saw an electric car recently that was built out of an old style 50’s chassis w/ “rust” paint applied generously & classic leather bench seats... not gonna lie- I’d take it over a top of the line Tesla any day! =)
