Title: 2003 Ryca Build
Post by thomasoconnor19 on 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.

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
