Nico 75 - Ryker knee pads

[Nico75]

Hi all as anyone fitted the BRP knee pads WITHOUT taking any panels off? If so is it easy. Regards Nico 75

Based on BRP's installation video, it looks to be very easy.

Do the knee pads help anything i.e. comfort? What is that secondary piece that has an attachment point on the inside?

Hi all ref knee pads I think it's a " belt and braces thing " ( the ring fitting at back ) regards Nico 75

What's the actual point of them?

 

[Nico75]

Hi all ref knee pads I think they are more comfortable for your knees than HARD plastic must be better regards Nico 75

But my knees are in open air whilst ryding my Ryker, so pads will make no difference!

Yes: I've put them on (easily--no panel removal needed), & they do provide a good surface for knee-gripping while turning at speed.

Hi aufgeblassen47 try keeping your knees open on fast tight corners , instinct puts your knees onto the plastic regards Nico 75

When you're going around corners, try hugging the Ryker with your knees. You will feel more planted in the seat. The downfall to that is the insides of your knees can get sore due to the hard plastic.

Never had that problem. Simply going slower on the corners works.

All I have to say is for $100 my knees work just fine!!!

Hi mikeyuberalles ref knee pads. Video shows panel removal which I didn't do to much trouble just for pads. Regards Nico 75

A hundred bucks?! Sheesh!

 

[Markubis]

I'm surprised that no one has come out with a knee pad that was just an adhesive add on for the side knee panels. I would think something like that would work well.

Hi Markubis ref tank knee pads , try Universal Stompgrips and cut to your shape cost around £ 25 it you want to go that way. Ryker " tank " is unique shape regards Nico 75

Why would you want to got THAT slow on the corners?! I'm not going to shell out $100 for them but would like to figure out something (we have lots of curves in the TX Hill Country and we ride em like we stole em!)

Just a heads up, I put a vinyl pink cancer awareness angel on my Spyder and when I tried it on my Ryker it wouldn't stick to the matte black panels!
