It's so refreshing to see a woman doing reviews for a change ... I love your work Beth! 👍😁🤟 Beanie (Australia)
Thanks so much! 👍🏼
@@RykerRydes Cheers Beth 👍😁🤟 Beanie
I just watched your videos! So awesome, love them! I couldn't find a place to comment. Maybe I just need to scroll down more? Cheers!
@@RykerRydes Hi Beth ... Yeh just scroll down to bottom of page & go to add a public comment & don't forget the Thumbs up 👍😁🤟 I'm @ work now, Cheers 🤟 Beanie
Do not sell Beth short. This is a great channel for everyone.
I admire your tenacity. Love the videos!
Thanks Wendy!! That means a lot!!
Love love love seeing a lady doing this, just love it ❤️
I know right!! 💪🏼
Using nitrile gloves while installing a windshield prevents fingerprints that have to be cleaned off later. Learned that after installing a few shields on my previous motorcycles. They provide some grip for slippery little parts and can prevent those little cuts and scratches you usually get on such projects. The black kind that are little thicker are best for working on cars and bikes. Was very smart to go back to the dealership and talk to the parts guy to find out why the shield was loose. Another helpful video. Thanks
Yup, the gloves would have been a great idea. And yes my fingers do get cut up a little, and dirty, but I don't mind. I like getting into the project! I guess that's why I am always barefoot?
Thanks for the video! I just got my Ryker today and bought the windshield. Mine didn't have the washers either. I see that happening to a lot of people.
Crazy, right? Welcome to the family!!!
Getting the screws in was a complete PAIN! Good stuff!
Yes! You need baby fingers to get it in tight! Should have been a 5 minute install!
@@RykerRydes Agreed!!!! Just found your channel today, due to @Beanie Boy. Keep up the great vids!!!!
❤️ur videos
Thank you so much!!!
Not a lot of finger room but you did it,cool.
Yup, that was tricky!!
Love the videos
Thank you so much!
Great video, thanks for the washer tip. Do you have any problems opening the glove box with windshield attached? Thanks
Not at all!!!!! The glove box opens easily!! Great question by the way!
Good job. Canam is goiod at leaving washers out of package but sometimes just hidden. Like my gel knee pads but then found kind of hidden.. Oh when did you say your Chat is?
99% it will be Saturday at 12
This saved me a lot of frustation, same issue no washers. I do have a question, what stripe kit did you use , it looks awsome!
Thanks for watching! Glad the vid helped! Everything blue on my bike is a wrap (so it would all match).
Do the washers go between the mount and gauge cluster
Ugh it has been so long since I did this project. Did I not show it in the video? I can go and undo it on my bike and take a look.
How high can you raise the windshield, mine looks like it has another inch or so and I can't get it any higher??
It should raise/lower approximately 3”
@@RykerRydes Thank you so much Beth, your absolutely 💯 percent awesome.
I installed my windshield, but now my display is loose , would you have any idea on know how to tightened it ?
Hi Miguel, sorry you are having trouble. Did you try tightening the 4 bolts behind the instrument cluster? If you are having trouble, you can contact me through FB messenger.
@@RykerRydes I had to remove the windshield and the back of the display to tightened the bolt , it was very loose, thanks for responding and keep up the good videos ....I've had the bike for over a week now and I love it ...
Beth the frame of my display is loose how do I tighten it
There are 4 bolts between the windshield and the bracket (frame). A torx 20 will tighten it right up.
@@RykerRydes looking at the digital display there’s a black plastic frame with brp logo and a plastic piece that goes around the display unit; both plastic pieces are loose and rattles can these plastic pieces be tightened? The display itself isn’t loose. I’m not on social media so if you email me at servantsoldier@outlook.com I’ll send you the video of the problem thanks
@@servantsoldier5207 I know exactly what you are now referring to. I have never had that problem and really don't know how to fix it? Maybe ask Bill Ramseyer, he is a great source of information. Sorry, wish I could help.
What size hex are the bolts?
I am not 100% sure. Did I mention it in the video?
Is it a big difference riding on the hwy with the shield 🛡. Is the Ryker high maintenance.
Yes the shield makes a huge difference, I actually wish it was a little bigger for highway riding. The Ryker (for me) has been ZERO maintenance! Just gas and go!
@@RykerRydes today is delivery day.
And just my luck we have rain in the forecast for today.
I'm in Louisiana.
Thanks for all of the great videos. I'm super pumped
@@biggjune2914 Post a pic of you and your new Ryker!! Ride in between the rain drops!!
@@RykerRydes will do
@@RykerRydes what would u recommend as a must have for the ryker. If u only could choose 1 accessory
I know these are older videos, but i believe a lot of your struggles are due to not having the right tools.
Interesting. You could be right. My tools have definitely gotten better. It just took time. Thanks for watching.
this is from Can-am correct not Slingmods?
Yes it is directly from can am. But if I were doing it again, I’d probably get a bigger one. What ever you decide, just make sure the glove box can still open!
@@RykerRydes how tall are you again. I am thinking of the Madstag which Slingmods is offering in the 20" . I was riding yesterday and boy it was windy this would have helped. :-)
The 4 bolts attaching the windshield to the mechanism don't come off? It seems the shield is what gets in the way of putting the supplied 4 bolts in. If they didn't make the shield able to come off with the 4 bolts going through the windshield shame on BRP. Bad BRD! :)
Interesting!
you would think Can Am would INCLUDE washers since they are pretty much NEEDED. People including myself are paying $200+ for this mod and Can Am can't include washers, shame on Can Am
Not sure if this was just a one off oversight. I know the new larger one, came with washers!
Might be a 2 off, mine didn't come with washers either 🤔😂
Looks like a three off. Just got the same windshield today and no washers. So glad I watched this video - frustrating to get that far into an install and be missing something so necessary!
Thank you Beth! Holy smokes, I paid $150 just to get my foot pegs installed and that bracket and they claim the suspension has to be adjusted as well and the computer to recognize the passenger… definitely needed to save some money once the windshield came in! 🫤
The on board computer does NOT need to be adjusted with the OEM pegs. As soon as the pegs are down, it activates a sensor so the Ryker knows you have a passenger.
@@RykerRydes they said it was part of their check post install to make sure nothing is wrong with the sensor.👍
