Well I finnaly got my used v-star 1300, 30 tooth pulley on ebay shipped for $60.00 installed this weekend. I also installed my garmen GPS inside my Bullet fairing using just the suction cup mount and set my Speedo healer after only 5 tries at (neg) -09.5. Bingo dead on at 60mph. Now I have to say I will agree that yes the Stryker should have came with the 30TOOTH front pulley on it from the factory. I have tested my Stryker two up all weekend and did not get to test the new 30th mod one up. But that is okay as this is a better test for rollon tests in fifth gear from 60mph to 80mph. Much better and since I live in the GA mountians the first to secound shift is WAY better. Now as far as gas mileage , well, today we went for a ride and I rode pretty normal, the big difference is that I now ,even double up, dont have to shift down to forth gear when hitting a easy hill, I stay in fifth alot more now. So the first fill up Was a low of 47.2mpg if I went with a 1.8 gal fill up at 85 TRUE miles from my GPS or if I went with 1.7gals it would of been 50mpg! Now I use two different fill up suggestions because when topping off with the gas tank filler mod I have you can go 1 tenth of a gallon difference? So lets say I did at least 47.2mpg,LOL. This was all around rideing with most high way speeds at between 60-70mph and then mountian twisty rideing. Over all I want to thank you guys for the pulley swap info. I had my girl friend take a pic of the speedo and GPs at 60MPH. she wasn't dead strait, kind took the pic from the side. As you can see the GPS is very readable and useable inside the bullit fairing. Im also using the stock 210 tire . All I can say is this. DO the 30tooth mod if you haven't, its worth it. Now maybe in a few weeeks Ill have enough funds to get my Stryker dynoed and maybe next two weeks when ill be alone that one saturday ill do a top speed run also
