• 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.

Ryker on a trailer?

Has anyone hauled the Ryker on a utility trailer? Was there any problem making the break over at the top of the ramp? I noticed that Tractor Supply has a 6 x 8 utility trailer with a 4' ramp that looks like it might work.

If this is the one with the vertical attached ramp …. my experience was not too good …. BOTH of the securing devices fell apart on the same trip …. I fixed it with a solid 8 or 10 inch bolt using a lock-nut ….. The replacement parts from tractor supple was $30.00 EACH .….. good luck …. Mike :ohyea:
 
I've hauled ours on our 7x14 open trailer. The ramp is 5ft long I think. I load and unload with the trailer hooked to the truck, and the tongue jack cranked way up to reduce the angle of the ramp. I had no issues at all. Anything you can do to reduce that angle is key. Use the tongue jack, park the trailer wheels in a low spot, park up against an embankment, boards under the back end of the ramp....etc....
 
@Dragracer, what’s the dimensions of your trailer. I’m looking for a trailer to haul my Spyder and my husband’s Ryker. The Ryker doesn’t have a windshield so it can go backwards. My Spyder has saddle bags (F3-T).
 
it will work fine. The 6’ is actually about 6’6”. I have the 3 pieces luggage set on Slingmods, So I made an extension of the rear tailgate latches of a few inches and it works fine.
 
I prefer an adjustable hitch on the tow vehicle. I raise the tongue as high as possible to smooth out the angle at the top of the ramp. I also found piece of 2x4 at the bottom of the ramp kept the noise from dragging. Don’t forget if the front wheels get too close to the front of the trailer the spoiler will hit the front of the trailer.
