Unfortunately they did not have any documentation or instruction manual. The Amazon site does provide some specifications such as spring wire diameter, capacity, and options.

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.
What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

Can you post some pics? Curious to see the difference in ride height. Thanks!

Lets try this. I added the ruler for scale.
It currently has 6.5 inches of clearance under the radiator. Stock was 4.5 inch.

Little change in handling. The seat is several inches higher so you feel slightly more body roll just due to the seating position. The spring rate and damping rate on the shocks seem to be well balanced.

I haven't been updating this on a regular basis so I will just do a big dump right now.
What I upgraded this year:
My helmet first and foremost....went to the new Scorpion Covert X modular helmet
Windshield is the Puig 5022H - Its a universal windshield that allows me to see over it while still deflecting most of the wind that was making highway riding annoying. Perfect height but maybe could be a little wider because my forearms (when bare) feel a lot of wind. Looks real nice on the Ryker too.
Baja Rons Sway Bar End Links - Only the end links and I notice a big difference changing lanes or scootin' around corners.Much less dipping. I will eventually get he sway bay itself in the future.
Reflector replacements for the fenders. I replaced them with the LED lightbars that slingmods sells. HUGE difference in visibility now.They are lit all teh time and can be seen from the front, back and side...making me a wider visual target.

I had a K@N air filter delivered from amazon today, i picked up a ultra guard indoor cover, tank protector, tinted plate cover and side mount drink holder from UPS in Detroit on Thursday, unfortunately i wont be home for another 5 days so they will all have to wait until then, maybe then i can get me some more riding in.

Decided it was a good day to go get coffee, then a nice 40 mile no-destination ride around Marion County, before I got caught in the rain.
Any pics of the Puig windscreen on your bike?

That's it but mine is the light smoke. The height is close to the oem version but width is more.
I will post a pic when I get a chance.

Looks nice, looks like it would do a good job of blocking the wind (& bugs).
Chris have you ever adjusted the ride with the air pressure on the shocks. Looks like it comes from the factory with .4 MPI (approx 58 psi) and can be adjusted up to a max of .5 MPI (approx 73 psi).

One year since I bought my Ryker, so it was time for service! Got around 2500 very enjoyable miles in the seat so far 
Was a nice long trip to the dealer, about 400 miles with an overnight stay at my parents summer house. The riding season is coming to an end in Sweden, but hopefully I will get a few more trips done before plugging in the battery tender for the winter storage.
