• 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.

Hand guards recommendation

Has anyone got recommendations for hand guards on their Ryker?

Unfortunately, my Rally had the factory hand guards removed before I bought it so I'm looking around for high-quality alternatives that provide decent wind protection.
 
Maybe look into the Outlander fairing if it suits you. You can kill a lot of birds with one stone if you like the style. Wind protection, hand, windshield, extra lights behind lower part of windshield, drink holders, place to mount your cell phone plus more. :thumbup: cueman

For the largest variety and best price I would look on E-bay, .... they are commonly used on dirt bikes and snowmobiles ..... just be sure to check on how any of them attaches to the handlebars ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:
 
There is HippoHands which I heard good things about - more for colder weather.

WOW ... this item has changed ( a lot ) from when they were orig. designed for Snow-mobiles back 40 years ago ..... I have a pair from a company called " BagMan " that I bought decades ago for snowmobiling ( unfortunately it was AFTER I got a severe case of frostbite :gaah: ) .... I now have them attached to my Ski Poles, even with heated gloves I still have to be careful when skiing for long periods .... without them the Heated gloves just arn't enough ..... mine are flat, wind/waterproof, with a thick fleece lining. I have used them on my RT a few times and they were great ..... Mike :thumbup:
 
I rather like the BarkBusters Storm hand guards - https://barkbusters.net/products/storm/3476-stm-007-bk/ as they're meant for wind protection rather than avoiding damage to the clutch/brake levers, as on a bike. I also prefer a simple bar end attachment, as some of the alternative attachments to the handlebar are a little clunky.

I like the fact there's no branding for a more stealthy look.

I think the Outlander fairing maybe a little overkill, but it certainly offers great protection.
 
I also use the outlander fairing - in one piece you get hand guards a GPS or Phone holder direct over the display - three different windscreens two drink-holders and its detachable without any tools in some seconds ..
for Shure the cheapest way to make a all-weather touring Ryker ....
