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.

These shocks are not cheaper they are less expensive. It took him 3 days to this shock where he wanted it. The shocks are hand built 1 at a time. Then they are put on a DYNO and tested. This is the only custom made shock for this kind of money. Marcus the owner was a m/c racer. He now builds all type of shocks for race bikes. He love the can am 3 wheels that way he is now building shocks for the F3 and the Ryker. I don't think the Fox or the ELKA are even close, these are off the shelves mass produced shocks. My front tires stay on the road. I can not tell you how great the ride is now.

Kid Ryker dropped by my office yesterday and I got the chance to see the M2 shocks first hand. When the KYB's on my Rally model flame out I will likely be changing to the M2.

This video was not shot on a smooth road. Its just these shocks take care of all the bumps. Road back 850 mile I keep looking at the front wheels they looked like that all the way home smooth as can be. Also my front end now has more clearance then the Rally and the rear. These Shocks are a Game Changer.
ok i have a question . i will be buying a ryker soon .i was looking to get the rally edition ,mainly for the upgraded shocks.but after seeing this i wonder if i should just get the ryker 900 and upgrade to these shocks . i know its up to me. but what's your guys take?
I actually just went to our local shop and looked the models, quality of the components, and pricing...I think that is a good idea.

These would be a huge upgrade over the 900 Base shocks. Now as far as the Rally, I'm not sure. I bought the Rally for the upgraded suspension and the overall looks I like better than the Base 900. That's a lot of cash for 3 shocks. I bought 4 Bilstein 5100's for my Nissan Titan for just a click over $300. I'm sure they are terrific in every way, but I'm sure the stock Rally shocks will be just fine for most buyers.
Most likely you bought the 4600's for your titan which are affordable as most parts are made in the thousands and thousands. Unfortunately, in the powersports world, the components work at a much more precise window with many less being made which ups the cost for all manufacturers in the marketplace. Not just us...in fact I think our shock solution is one of the most affordable. With that said, if you have a Ryker, let me send you a set. IF YOU ARE NOT A TRUE ABSOLUTE RAVING FAN OF THE PRODUCT, you can send them back and I will give you 500.00 for the inconvenience. If you keep them, pay for them and just tell the Spyderlovers forum how much you like them. I also ask you to please "blast me on this forum" if you do not love them.
FWIW, I actually inspected the upgraded suspension and can tell you our suspension is going to be much more adjustable and overall better than what is on any Ryker or in their catalogue.

Nope 5100's, The 4600's are a baby poop yellow color, the 5100's are far superior and yes right at $300 on Shock Surplus with a discount code. If my Rally doesn't ride acceptable when I get it with the KYB shocks I will reach out to you and check them out.
Thanks
I am not sure if you are aware of this, but both Bilstein shocks are nearly identical inside and they are the same price...https://youtu.be/5D1P6dF87D4
Yep, close to the same but not. 4600's don't have the adjustable front spring perch either, so there's that. But thanks for sharing

I bought the 900ace because I like it better I already knew I would upgrade my shocks. The rally has better shocks then my base. BUT not now with the M2. I have more clearance than the stock rally and a 200% better ride. You have no ideal what these shocks will do for you. If you only go to Starbucks (not that you do) stock is fine. If you are happy with the ride on your rally don't change.
Yep, I'm just the opposite. Like the Rally much better. Much more bang for your buck. You sit on a 900 Base and the suspension just about bottoms out just by sitting on it. Not so with the Rally. Don't really care about clearance since I will probably never go off road. And your right, I will never know what those shocks will do for me. We all like different things and one size doesn't fit all. Glad your happy with them though

Im interested, need to save up for a few months to get these babies. I have the stock 600 i notice with really bad roads the front bounces a lot.
No, not on this type of suspension. A car or truck, would be a good idea.
