Title: Ryca forum?
Post by wombat on 05/13/11 at 08:21:55

Are there enough of us, and is it worth it, to start a sort of sub-forum for Ryca builders to discuss issues and ideas? Or maybe a separate forum on the Ryca site?
Any thoughts?

I don't know why it needs to be, or ought to be, separate. There's a lot of information that crosses whatever dividing line there might be between Ryca projects and the rest of the LS650 world. Should there be a separate forum for bobber conversions?

I'm interested in following what everyone is doing with their Ryca kits also. I just mark each thread as a "favorite". It makes it easy to find and I still get to view all the other interesting posts.

I agree with motobuddha, even though I am not personally interested in the Ryca builds, they are still Savage/S40 based so they still need Savage/S40 expertise for any other problems so just keep it the way it is and so it will be easier for everyone.

I like them being here because I've learned a lot and may one day find myself doing a build myself. But ymmv.

Motobuddha's words are wise. ;-)

I think the Savage is so widely adaptable, and enjoyable in so many forms, that the RYCA thing is just another of the ways to get involved,.. and that there is a lot of overlap with other Savage-based endeavors.

Besides, if you want to cull out all the RYCA-ish discussions, just do a search for RYCA or CS-1 or cafe or cafe racer,.......etc.  (assemble your own real-time forum)

If you guys want to compile a list of the best Ryca build threads, I would be happy to add them to the "Modifications" section of the tech table of contents. That way the "best of Rycas"  :D threads can be listed in one place.

Also.. if you have split your build into part 1, part 2 etc. please post a link at the end of previous threads, to the next, so the reader can follow them sequentially.  Then we can just index part 1.

Somebody needs to bring a completed Ryca up to the list's Dragon run so we can all see how it handles.

I know it looks cool and neat, but does it translate into improved performance in the curvies ....

Time will tell I guess.

You raise a good point, Oldfeller. I'm hoping with 30 lbs less weight and more sporty configuration and Progressive suspension that it will handle noticeably better.

There was a road test of the Ryca reported in the January issue of Motorcyclist magazine. They said it was a 'light, nimble, and suprisingly quick motorcycle'. That clinched it for me.

Time will tell. I am patiently waiting for my kit delivery. I did slow down the process by opting for it pre-painted. Has anyone completed a kit yet?

i think it would be cool/useful to have a section dedicated to custom builds and major mods. having them all in one place would be great. ;D ;D

When I first joined the forum I too thought that a Cafe Racer sub-forum would be useful. After participating in the forums for the last six months I don't think it necessary. Everyone plays well with each other and information is freely exchanged. The build threads referenced above provide useful information and are a great inspiration for ideas.

Without a doubt, this forum is the RYCA build resource.
