CanAm provides multitudes of colors for the panels for the Ryker. But there is one glaring omission...carbon fiber. I would buy that in a second. I bet others would to.

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.

A less expensive route would be to wrap your existing panels with a carbon fiber product such as this.

Contact WrapMySpyder for options I'm sure they have them.

That looks like an interesting option. I might have to look into that for my Vmax. If someone has tried this, please post your review.

Right now I'm looking into hydro-dip. These guys are right down the street from me and they have a glowing base that will glow for 5 hours on a 15 minute charge.

What is hydro-dip? And if I get the vinyl wrap, what type of shop would do the work?
This is something else I am considering

Basically they float the paint in water and then dip the parts in. Will conform to all nooks and cranies and a lumps and bumps. But unlike wraps it is not removable...:thumbup:

Eventually we will have a nice variety of products available in a variety of colors including our popular textured carbon fiber and our new Alligator skin. Getting our hands on the bike has been a challenge.

How about 3dprinted mesh pattern panels...

I like how those panels look. What does it cost to do that? I am not too keen on the matte black paint on the Ryker.
It wasn't cheap. Around $600Cdn all in. There are handguards missing from the pic.
I had bought brand new black plastics. The $600 was for hydro-dipping. Plastics were extra.
The hydro dipping process was as follows:
1. Sandblast to remove any manufacturing solvents
2. Apply primer
3. Apply light base coat with a little metal flake
4. Apply another base coat with lots of flake
5. Apply coat of candy red
6. Hydro Dip in smoke pattern
7. Clear Coat
Plastics were sanded after each step.
Paint shops offering hydro-dipping will have a whole catalogue of patterns. The shop I used had the same setup as the video depicted a few posts up. The dipping process was identical.
