SuzukiSavage.com - Ryca forum?

wombat Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 109	Ryca forum? 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? Dave

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?

Reply #2 - 05/16/11 at 11:58:30 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.

Reply #3 - 05/16/11 at 12:15:57 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.

Motobuddha's words are wise. Wink

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" Cheesy

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.

Reply #7 - 05/17/11 at 07:20:15 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?

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.
