I have the model with the bracket that attaches to the frame with 4 long bolts, with another bolt for the steering bracket. I now have considerable "slop" in...
I have the schematics of the seat and steering assembly for the vanguard. Not sure is this is what you have. I purchased my vanguard in 96. If you wish I can...
To All, After many years of pick-up trucks, trailers, and vans, I have finally worked out a transport for our USS custom made tandem (it is actually a 34" ...
I'd love to have a copy of that too, if you'd kindly add my e-mail address to that. Also, there is (or should be) a file section in the Yahoo Groups where...
When I bought my Vanguard two years ago (made in the early 90's I think), there was some play in the steering. I tracked it down to a worn "spherical rod end"...
I have a similar arrangement -- though in reverse. Since the mesh doesn't come off readily, I think in the case the bugs or other en-route debris should become...
Not to mention the tremendous drag and unneeded stress put on the bike. Bill ... From: Michael Harris To: ryanownersclub@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,...
When I used to transport my Vanguard in the back of my small pickup that has a cap, I'd just remove the seat. It's only 4 bolts, takes just a couple of...
I can say from experience that a Vangard fits very nicely down the middle of a honda odyssey minivan. Take the front wheel and pedals off. detach the captain's...
I did that also when I started to transport it on top of the car. That is till I stripped out the holes in the upper block seat block at the Midwest tandem...

Several of you requested that they would like a copy of the schematics of the steering assembly for the Ryan Vanguard. I received these when I picked up my...
Nicely done, Mike. Thank you. If you (or others) have similar detailed descriptions of other parts of the bike, maybe we could come up with an owner/operator...
And speaking of photos, Billy I was looking at your beautiful yellow Vanguard. I'm relatively new to mine, and have it similarly outfitted with the Zipper...
Well, that Niterider HID light has had many dark early morning rides to work. I just put it on the fork to see how it would look, normally I have an older...
I've just completed a 500-mile, 5-day solo tour in Vermont and New Hampshire on my Vanguard. I've done such tours several times before, but this is the first...
I think you could adapt a lowrider front rack to hold half of your gear. I haven't tried this on my Duplex but found it made handling on my upright much more...

I used to have a Blackburn Low Rider on my Linear. It worked well enough--only scraped the bottom of a pannier once in a fast downhill turn, and slowed enough...
You don't need to adapt a rack to fit, or have some cobbled up rack spoiling the looks of your bike. Go to http://www.rivbike.com/ and check out Marks Mini...
I always like a helmet mounted light. I use a 20 watt from Nite Hawk. Mike. ... From: ryanownersclub@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ryanownersclub@yahoogroups.com] On...
You have GOT TO REMEMBER that on the Vanguard and most other LWB bents even without camping gear most of the weight in on the back wheel. It stands to reason...
