Yeah, I have a stock Stryker with the exception of a windshield. I've had it a year and a half and I still like it that way. I don't have a problem with those that want to change things but I just can't find anything that needs changin'. Generally speaking, performance mods are a trade-off (i.e., greater performance but less reliability and longevity). As for the looks, it is awe inspiring as it is. So, I just wondered if there are any others out there who have owned their Stryker more than a week and did not feel the need to customize it. 8)
Am I the only one with a stock Stryker?

I really thought mine was cool stock too untill I found out what better a ride it is with performance mods and then I decided to make it my own with a cool paint job

Yep, still stock.
I'd love to change the pipes for something with more rumble, but I constantly get compliments on the stock pipes. They really are unique. I just can't bring myself to take them off. Even today, I was checking out some saddlebags from Fox Creek Leather, but I just don't want to do anything to change the lines of this great bike.
Just an alarm and quick release windshield. Done.

I gutted my stock pipes and cut them shorter on my Raider and I can't count the number of times I've been asked if they are custom - even by those that know the bike is a Raider. I personally wish they made a blacked out version of the stockers like the Styker ... I'd keep them. We changed out the chrome stockers with the black version.wormburner said:

My Styker is stock also. Don't wish to change anything at this time. I'll wait until I'm bored with it or when they make a nicer bike on the market. Then I may change somethings around. I've modified things in the past and never really enjoyed as much as I do when it is stock. JMO.

You know...I've been seriously considering chroming out my wheels, but I keep getting compliments on my black wheels... People just seem to love those black wheels. LOL!!! I took the warning stickers, star stickers, and yamaha stickers off as well and I added a short backrest for wifey, so there, I'm not stock either. LMAO!

Can I be "that guy" and go out and say: your bike isn't stock, it's got a windshield!
;D
;D
OK, ya got me Kraazymike, I did add a windshield. And while I'm into the confession mode, I did removed the warning sticker on the gas tank. And to add to that, I did add a pigtail to the battery for my battery tender and I might add a connection for my heated vest if I ever get one. There now, I feel better getting this off my chest. It's not exactly a stock Stryker but from a distance you'd never be able to tell the difference. Geez, it's hard to sneak anything past you guys ! ;D
