2003 Ryca Build
11/17/24 at 17:44:41
 
Sharing some pictures of my 2003 Savage
I bought/installed a lot of the Ryca parts back in 2013

-Ryca seat and rearsets
-GT550 Tank
-Harley Dyna muffler
-lowered front, raised rear
-shortened stock front fender
-K761 130/80-18 rear, 100/90-19 front
-Swingarm notched and support added

Never ordered the side panels from Ryca so I'm planning to make my own brackets and panels to hide all of the electronics.

Photos are entirely too large...but the garage door spring looks perfect.

I got the idea from a guy on youtube. I had the wood already and it just uses a standard motorcycle lift to get it up, it works really well

I have never liked how dim the Ryca taillight LED light is, I have started to retrofit some brighter LEDs inside

I've found some pre-wired red LEDs and have designed some parts to fit in the Ryca taillight lens, because I really like how it fits the Ryca seat

Good move - the RYCA tail light is not bright enough to be seen in daylight and is worthless as a brake light.  The built in turn signals are also dim and won't get anybody to notice them.

I was not creative enough to do what you are doing - instead I found the same shape tail light that was red and did not have the built in turn signals.  I added an additional brake light under the seat using a red emergency LED that is very bright, and I used yellow turn signal housings mounted on each side.

agree, I'm also going to add some real rear turn signals somewhere else

I bought another taillight that was reds only, you can see how dim it is compared to my new LEDS
