You are dead on about those handgrip deflectors. I ride late in the season where the temps are around 55° in the daytime and drop to around 35° at night, when I get off work. My Harley Davidson Ultra Limited has heated grips, which work extremely well. Sometimes, I ride my Kawasaki KLR650 back and forth to work. The KLR has factory installed hand deflectors, which work rather well in the cold weather. I bought the hand deflectors for my 2022 Ryker Rally, knowing I will be riding it to and from work late November through early December, here in Northwest Illinois. I can ride later into the year with a Ryker and not worry about ice or snow on the road like I do with a two-wheeler. I work the 11:00 pm to 7:00 am shift. I drive 26 miles each way, to and from work. Riding 60mph in 35° weather gets damn cold on my legs by the time I reach my destination. If you ride late in the season, another best bank for the buck is a Milwaukee M12 heated vest. Trust me, it's worth every dollar spent.
Nice work on the mods!!!! Looks Awesome!! Thank you for the Very informative video!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much!!! Greatly appreciated!!!
I like those risers, a lot easier than changing the bars. Very cool Mods, your ryker looks great!
The risers are perfect IMO! Thank you very much!!!! Stay safe!
I got an egg sitter for my work truck. It works great no more butt sore for me. Bought it no line for only 25 bucks!! I would just buy one of them and trim it to fit the Can Am when I finally buy one!
I’m getting a ryker soon and just wow, you can seriously customize this thing! I better start saving up
Congratulations!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy my Ryker!!! There's definitely quite a bit of customization you can do to them :) Stay safe out there!
Cool bike. As far as the 2 up Spring. Did you install it? How much were they
Just seen your video and I really like your setup! I'm on a 2 wheeler right now but am thinking of changing over to a Ryker or spyder. Great video...
Thank you so much!!! I wish you luck on whatever route you take!!! Much love!!!
Thanks for sharing!
That's a beautiful bike sir
Thanks for the great video! How much $ have you put into your bike so far? It looks really good
Aluminum parking brake is very nice and worth it compared to the plastic stock one. And easy to instal. Very nice looking Ryker you have there!
Great to hear, regarding the parking brake!!!! Thank you very much!!!!
You should look into the LED Sequential turn signals from SlingMod, too. I put them on and they definitely make you far more visible. Also, I added the brake light flash/blink module to make it more obvious when I hit the brakes.
I've been thinking about those! Great suggestion!!!!
With the 3 bags how does it preform? Any difference? Also do you have any problem with 2up rubbing on fender?
I just ordered the 3 bag system can’t wait to install
I have no idea how I missed your post. Sorry about that!!!! Did you receive your 3 bag setup? If so, how are you liking them?
She’s looking sweet Man. Stay Safe. 🙏🏻
Thanks Sir!!!!! Hope you're well!
Hi!! Great walk around. Your bike looks so good!! I think your mention of the Rox 2” risers may have changed my life! I have been searching for closer handlebars for months. Adding these should be exactly what I need! Was it an easy install? Super excited!! Ps Happy Easter or Passover!!
Before I buy, am I understanding that the risers will bring my handlebars 2” closer? Not just higher? Ty
Thank you!!! Installing the risers was incredibly easy. Just unscrew the 4 bolts holding the current handlebars in place. Take handlebars out. Insert 7/8 end of risers where the handlebars previously were and reinstall the 4 bolts (use locktite). Unscrew the bolts in the top of the riser, where the handlebars will go. Insert handle bars. Put the top back on the risers and tighten. That's it! Happy Easter!
Nice ryde. How much for the 900 and all the upgrades?
Thanks for being honest! Keep up the vids.
You bet!!! Looking forward to constant warm weather and no quarantine to bring more content. Thank you for commenting!!!!
Cool looking Ryker!
Thank you!!!!!
where did you get the luggage bags cause i love them
I like what you have done, so congratulations! I have a 2020 Rally so I appreciate the information. Have you considered floorboards instead of the stock pegs? I installed the Black Diamond floorboards from Lamonster Garage and it was a game changer. Much more comfortable. I am vertically challenged (5'6" and 170lbs with a titanium left hip) so I always look for things that might help. Your addition of the risers is definitely something that I will look in to. One other thing...you installed the parking brake lock (I did too...great addition) but did you change the handle to the billet aluminum handle? I did and it was crazy easy. Between them both it actually is a pretty neat little anti-theft system.
Again, thanks for the great video. I guess I am your next-state neighbor as I am in in eastern Kansas just outside of the KC metro area.
Thank you!!!! I haven't considered the floor boards, only because the pegs don't bother me. My friend/neighbor has them on his Rally. I'll have to give his a go and see if that changes my mind :) As for the billet parking brake, I definitely plan on getting it. I just haven't as of yet. Soon! Thanks for the suggestions and compliments!!! Hope you're doing well over there in Kansas!!! Ride safe!!!
where do you keep your spare tire or flat tire repair kit?
How is the bag system on the highway in crosswind ? The black is great look,thanks for showing us.
That’s a great question. I have yet to be on the highway with them. I think I’ve been on the highway twice in over a year of ownership. I’ll have to test it out once snow is gone.
By using the handle bar extenders does it get in the way of fueling the bike.
I know this is very uncommon but do u think I can have the cramp buster?Its ok if u don’t want to I’m just very impressed with it but I don’t have a single dollar to spend right now
What is the size on the airhawk seat cover? The link is no longer good.
Nicely done. I like the bags, tric led and the tuff skinz. I just received my K&N filter and I am glad I saw your video and I will be returning this if it doesn't make a difference. I do have one thing that bothers me. The plastic panel to the left which contains the air filter vibrates like crazy. Does yours do that?
Thank you Sir! You're correct regarding the K&N. As for the panels that rattle, I took them off and disassembled them, then sandwiched weather stripping in between each piece, and put them back together. It helped tremendously.
@@midliferyker3929 Interesting, I have been putting thick any kind of tape between the body and the panel which helps a little but not enough. I may have to tinker with it like you mentioned.
Also check out Bill Ramseyer for a grill that he designed specifically for his Ryker then decided to sell them. I purchased one from him easy installation. Yes you can make one as well.
Awesome! Thank you!!!
When you said grill, I thought you meant BBQ Grill and was wondering if he mounted it where the top case would go. LOL.
So I looked up his sight. Yes, Bill's grill looks very nice. Was going to make one out of Stainless Steel mesh that I have lying around.
@@49Roadmaster lol! Awesome hahaha.
Cover your center hub holes …seat upgrade is essential
I thought of doing the Tufskinz (carbon fiber) for my Ryker 900, but I'm having second thoughts. I live in SW Fla and it's hot as hell down here in summer months reaching a heat index to the mid 100s from June through September....at least! My Ryker is kept inside a garage both at home and at work, but I seriously worry about random days I'm out and about and possibly return to a bike with Tufskinz dripping from my bike in a gummy MESS! I'm even having second thoughts about wrapping it. Same scenario of sorts. What are your thoughts about heat vs anything with adhesive for Florida weather. I'd appreciate any suggestions
I can't speak from experience, but there's a local rider here that has the same tank protector I do. Theirs has started to come unglued. Sounds like you'd be right to err on the side of caution.
Thanks for sharing, some good stuff here. Some may be a little overkill, but great to know these cool options are available. Your bike looks pretty cool when all said and done. I'm eyeing a Ryker, doing the class this month and looking to purchase shortly thereafter, so this was great. Especially liked your comment that the storage makes for a better passenger back rest than the add-on. Two questions if you don't mind - 1) how easy/hard is it to remove the storage you listed, and 2) would you get the upgraded comfort seats (driver and passenger) if you could do it over again with the purchase?
Thanks Keith! As for the storage bags, it doesn't take long at all to remove the bags themselves. They latch on and off, but you do have to disconnect the wire connections. Less than three minutes? If you want to remove the whole racking system, it would require some time. As for the comfort seat, I'm not sure, as I've only sat on one briefly. I liked my stock seat with generic Airhaw better. The comfort seat is pretty expensive imo. Thanks for commenting!
@@midliferyker3929 good point on the expense - looks like it's better to go with the Airhawk cushion anyway and save money, especially since folks say that's more comfortable than the upgraded comfort seat. Again appreciate the great tips, thanks much!
@@kdub607 Agreed! Any time, my man!
Hi again Darren, one more question.With the risers, do you with you had gotten something even closer? Three inches? Do they bring your handle bars back enough that the passenger seat actually can work as a back rest? Since Revzilla was out of stock, I am second guessing myself. Ugh, thanks for your feedback.
I haven’t seen anything 3”. They definitely don’t bring it back far enough to use the passenger seat as a back rest. I can say that moving them back even 2” has helped my back and neck tremendously on longer rides.
Midlife Ryker what I meant does it push you back far enough that your butt is against the front of the passenger seat? Are you able to get lumbar support from the front of the seat? If they made one 3 inches, would you have preferred that? 🤔
Ryker Rydes Unfortunately no. It only helps with upper body leaning forward too much. Lower body is same position. I do t believe 3” would help with lower body position. I think if there were a 3” version, I could see sliding the bars forward to be comfortable. It will be different for differing heights, I believe. Personally, 2” is perfect. Changed the ride for the better. 😀
Midlife Ryker thank you Darren!!
Ryker Rydes Any time! Hope you and your family are doing well!
Bought the Ryker also ordered the bags set from slingmod also had to get bigger foot pedals slipping off during bumpy roads
Just seeing your comment. Sorry eddie! How are you liking the Ryker, bags, and foot pedals?
@@midliferyker3929 Still waiting on the bags to be shipped love the foot pedals the peg was just to small for my big feet lol
I like that Airhawk. I got the same $35 one.
It makes a huge difference!!
Did you do a vid on the glove box? Just started following you on here and IG. Did you show what the Heat Shield for the glove box looked like when you put it on?
Sorry, but I did not. I SUCK at making tutorial or walk through vlogs. It's pretty easy though! Check out Ryker Rydes channel. She definitely has one :)
@@midliferyker3929 Already watch it....
I am interested on the handlebar relocation brackets, where can purchase a set
Here you go! bit.ly/3bhfkRP
So with having to purchase all the accessories for 2up why did you not just buy the Rally to begin with 🤔
Got an airhawk for Christmas. Love it on my ryker. You also might want to look at slingmods front fender turn signal kit. I installed my kit the other day and holy moly its awesome.
That's great!!! The Airhawk (well, at least my generic) makes a HUGE difference! For some reason, I didn't even think about the turn signal kit. I'll have to check that out! Thank you!!! A fire arm? Good on you!!!!! 2A, my friend!!!! Stay safe out there!!!! Much love!!
with the air filter box, what i've seen someone do is gut the inside to open the air flow in it...less restrictive air flow.
I'm ignorant. What does that do?
increases the airflow going in to the filter with no restrictions.
The Box Mod does Absolutely Nothing 💯%.
I moded and installed the k&n and only gain was about 1/2 mpg and no throttle gain 😢
Hey I'm here In Colorado as well, and I'm having a hard time finding information on needing a three wheel license or not for the rykers. Or certain permits to drive one in general. Any information would be appreciated.
Yep. You can have a two wheel license or get a three wheel endorsement. One or the other is needed. Look into Iron Buffalo for the three wheel endorsement class and test. It's only $99, and they are absolutely amazing. Please let me know if you have any questions! I'll be happy to answer what I can!
@@midliferyker3929 thank you for the help, and info.
trevor meadows You’re welcome!!!
Looks good. With the colder temps you run across, I came across this guy with a cleaver idea to mount a fairing on the Ryker.
Can-Am Ryker - 2up Tour-Version
I've missed quite a few comments. Sorry Dean! The fairing is awesome!
@@midliferyker3929 I've seen them on ebay for about $250.
@@deantiffany1856 Wow! I figured they would be a lot more! Very cool!
Is this windshield good enough for a first? Or would you recommend a bigger one?
Check out calsci. I had the tinted sport windshield and it was awesome
Wow.....Seeing a few posts I missed on this video. Sorry about that!! You more than likely already have one, but I'd go with what nick droomer said.
And you are sending that snow our was in Albuquerque
As they say in South Park, "Blame Canada!" PS, my wife is Canadian haha. Yours should melt REALLY quickly!
Midlife Ryker you are right about that. It can snow and then the next day by noon it’s melted away.
Do you ever ride with other Rykers ? I live in Colorado and I just got my Ryker today hopefully find some other fellow Rykers around soon ! 😁
I sure do! Congrats on the Ryker!!! This FB group was created a couple of weeks ago for CO riders to communicate and hopefully coordinate some rides. Where are you located? A few of us are in the Fort Collins/Loveland area. facebook.com/groups/203506607649758/
@@midliferyker3929 I am in Denver but I'm going to look into that group thanks !
@@SurRonKev You're welcome! I often ride down that way. Well, West of there. IE Guanalla's Pass, Black Hawk, etc.
Slingmods has the custom seat for roughly $650.00
You have a 21 Ryker rally right? If so where did you get the rims from
2019 Standard Ryker 900 :)
Ohh Okay
Have you done any 2 up touring? If so how is it?
When I ride 2-up, it''s always and only with my daughter. Weight combined between us both is around 250 lbs. The Ryker is a little more sluggish in the curves, but that's about it :)
If had to guess ? A , licked the "windshield" (why should Das Audi Auto volk with a "V" be the only ones)
B , ordered a Team Teletubby over the hills and far away extra fluffy fleece riding/paddock jacket
C , Never thought about creating marketing a "my other drone a Cam-Am Ryker ...moto-sick...er ...trik...er thingy me bob" trunk/top box sticker , cap , long/short sleeve T shirt in all 4 Teletubby colourways (yes with a "U" ) size S for the wee ones to XXXXXL for well is the good old U S of A
D , Only once played balls to the wall ride the wheels of it "Knock it down , Chuck it in , Wazz it out " (not so easy without a gear box to play tunes on)
E, Never left a "KIPPER 4 BREAKFAST"" overnight in the box of now stinks for weeks ....PopTarts a safer start the day
F, Planed one day give it the "beans" at "THE BOTTOM OF BARREGARROW" just to see what it can do and which hedge wall tree end up/in/ at/under ..TUBES OF YOU HOLE OF RABBITS may help in preparation a day never forgotten
G, Not run over own feet (good fun on bikers try quads days)
just kidding happy riding and keep it shinny side up
Okay I saw the link. $69. But did you have it installed or did you do it
Hey there! I had the dealership install it before I picked it up the first time. I can't recall how much they charged.
Have a 2020 ryker rally and love it every accessory is expensive. If you order the passenger seat from the dealer .mine came with no instructions
You aren't kidding. It's as if the cost of entry on accessories is $200. You're correct. CanAm parts don't come with instructions, but defer you to their website for them. Luckily, not too hard to find TH-cam videos of them :)
Hi what Solar Device do you Use for the power?
Here you go! www.amazon.com/Charger-25000mAh-Battery-Portable-External/dp/B07MR5RPLL/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=solar+charger&qid=1580773668&smid=A3M9SI3YPHRAMW&sr=8-3
Thank You , so thats good to charge a phone and Bluetooth speaker at the same time? Or do they have bigger ones more power
@@dannyrenna2659 You're welcome. I'm not sure about phone and bluetooth speaker. It does have 2 USB ports for charging, so it may be ok. I only charge my GoPro hero 3 with it. I plug my phone into the Ryker front trunk USB. I don't have speakers. I use a Sena SMH 10 for music.
im 71 y/o and im going to buy a ryker 600 on monday.
Why you didn't buy the F3 limited instead whit all the gadget you add on the Ryker you are almost there ? and the F3 have the power steering radio and more
Because the Ryker is dirt cheap brand new. An F3L is over $25.5k (edited to correct pricing). With all of my add-ons, I'm still well under $15k. I have my Sena for music, no need for a radio, and really love the lack of power steering, as it gives great road feedback. There are no issues in which I would prefer power steering. Thanks for commenting!
@@midliferyker3929 Your Ryker look grate
@@martinf9626 Thank you Sir! Greatly appreciated!
How tall are you just curious due to the handlebar risers
I am a massive, intimidating 5'4"! LOL Hope this helps!

@@giovannam925 LOL!!! Great to hear!!! I love making people laugh :)
surpised you didnt change the pegs
....ummmm, I meant 110 degrees heat index. We live in Florida. Not Death Valley...LOL
Are you handle bars still adjustable?
They sure are! I have to adjust them when I fill up gas :)
@@midliferyker3929 Great. How long does it takes you to ride before you start to fatigue? I just want to get an idea for long rides. And stay safe out there.
@@iluvbiggirlz420 The longest I've ridden with the risers was 6 hours. Started to fatigue around the 5 hour mark, but that was more due to helmet and throttle haha. A lot better than stock .. at least for me :)
@@midliferyker3929 That's way more than I expected. I thought you was going to say like 2 or 3 hrs lol That tells me riding to see my daughter in Colorado Springs on the Ryker is doable. Especially with the 3 bag setup.
@@iluvbiggirlz420 Most definitely doable! We have a rider here in CO that takes frequent trips on his Ryker, to Mexico to see family. An Airhawk helps tremendously :)
Nice....but u got it looking like a spyder more if anything
