Re: Why are there so many Ryker's for sale?

Some people just don't GET the Ryker. I consider them to be a road legal, 3 wheeled Gokart and I drive it like that. They are just loads of fun on the open road especially in corners. I don't understand why someone would buy one without trying it first. If there are lots of nearly new Rykers out the...

Re: Frunk

I prefer to call it a 'fruckit' for front bucket. Also sounds better when swearing at it.

Re: clunking

Increase the revs slowly when you take off from stopped until you start moving, then accelerate as fast as you like. No clunk.

Re: Did anyone put floor boards on their Ryker?

I changed the pegs on my 600 over to the floorboards. My wife was nearly dragging her heels on the ground with the pegs. The floorboards force her feet into a safer position now. I prefer riding with the floorboards too, more like my F3L. It's either pegs or floorboards Switchglide, there's only one...

Re: Oh, Come On! Part Of Front Fender Somehow Broke Off

I've always wondered what would happen to that flap if someone stepped on it.

Re: Attraction

Same thing here. Not just the general public, but even seasoned Harley riders that hate my F3L Spyder, look at the Ryker and drool.

Re: What windscreen do you have

I’m in Canada- there are no affordable aftermarket windshields available that are less expensive than the Can-am version for the Ryker. So I have after much deliberation purchased the Can-am one for $250 CDN. I will comment on its performance after a few weeks. My opinion is that it's better than n...

Re: Do you lock your Ryker somehow?

I do think it's kind of cheap of Can-Am to not at least include the parking brake lock, especially when they already nickel and dime on accessories. Every motorcycle I've had had some kind of steering lock. It won't stop someone who knows what they're doing from stealing it, but it keeps random peo...

LaMonster garage has floor boards and highway pegs that are just beautiful.... they look like OEM or better. Gotta have these :!:
I'll vouch for the floorboards. They are very solid and a good fit. Way better comfort-wise than the factory pegs. (in my opinion)

Re: Do you lock your Ryker somehow?

Personally I just keep it in a locked garage at home. On the road I just use the parking brake and lock. If anyone is really desperate to steal it I think a few strong people could lift one wheel each and put it on a trailer, maybe two to a wheel would do it without much trouble. Locked wheels won't...
