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.

I installed the BRP Adventure windshield. Easy 20 minute job.

That's my set up too. I'm trying to find a bag that mounts on the back of the backrest and doubles as a solo rider backrest when folded down. Found a few but I'm not sure they would work.

I double checked the torque on the Rally wheels today. I had rotated the front wheels about three rides ago, and I changed the rear drive oil one ride ago of 70 miles. I put a scissor jack up level with the 8" extension resting on it while torquing the rear. That helps a lot. Then went for a 55 mile ride through three different County parks.

Put on carbon fiber upper and lower panels.
Installed M2 Shocks, yesterday
Have a plain old 2019 900 Ace, and upgraded the shocks to M2s from RPS. Took the dive and ordered a full set of shocks. Did the install on the fronts and took it for a spin... Wow, it's light years better than it was. Installed the rear a few hours later, but it jarred pretty bad over bumps. Marcus had reached out to me asking how the install went, so I answered. He immediately told me what adjustments to make to the rear shock and was spot on. Now the ride and handling are spectacular. I couldn't be any happier with both the product and the customer service.

Brought it home on Tuesday.
After waiting over three months for road construction to get done I finally was able to pick up the Ryker.
A friend drove me down to get it.
Took some back paved roads with low traffic just to get used to three wheels.
Only went for a front brake a few times, had to laugh when I went to put a foot down at a stop.
Had to go back to the dealer on Wednesday, one key wasn't working, and the bars were off to the left. (Nice morning for a ride tho)
They (Lockhart's in Courtland Ontario) took it right in and had me out in twenty minutes.
They have been super to deal with.
Went and put close to a 100 miles on it on some main and back roads.
Got a big headlight flash and waves from a couple an a Spyder going the other way. (my first)
After not riding for almost two years, I feel a little beat up, in a good way.
Loving it, But the wife says I have to stop doing my Aerosmith impression.
"BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN"
Now if it will stop raining, I can go out some more.
Sorry for the long post.

Hi Bruce
I've also been off a bike for a couple of years. Picked up my new Rally a couple of weeks ago and was grinning like a loon under my helmet riding it home.
To keep on topic: I just got a Cardo Spirit HD comms for riding on the Rally, I'll be able to hear my GPS now, so no excuses for getting lost... again

I didn't actually do it today but over the last few weeks and finally got a couple of pics:
Installed the Can-Am glove box organizer; helps a little, really like the piece that attaches to the glove box lid.
Installed the Hopnel tank bra.
Installed the Show Chrome handlebar end weights. I had some minor vibrations on the grips and these have eliminated it.
Installed the Providence Spyder Accessories water bottle holder. Works as advertised and comes with an adjustable bottle holder for my coffee thermos. :2thumbs:
Installed the Can-Am knee pads.
Installed the Can-Am tank bag. It's small and not a lot of room for storing items but functions as advertised and doesn't interfere with gassing up.
Installed an Ultimate seat with backrest. Not completely broken in yet but way more comfortable than the Rally Comfort seat that came with the bike.

Have you already upgraded to 400 mm shocks? Sorry if you already posted, but I now only lurk occasionally.
Not only longer, with increased ground clearance, but the full length springs are so much better.

For my 2020, 400 mm was the max travel of the front suspension.

Sorry I missed this SportsterDoc. Yes, I went with the 400 mm shocks first thing. Thanks again for posting the details, ordering was a piece of cake. We just returned from a 10,000 mile trip up through the Yukon and I am pleased as can be with the Ryker. And thanks again for the advice and suggestions early on.
