where is the best place to by a 21 inch windshield for my 2011 styker
Gratz on the Stryker! How are ye liking the windshield?
I got mine in a package deal when I purchased the bike.

I love the 22" Quick Release Touring Windshield from Yamaha. My last bike had a National Cycles Switchblade 2-Up. It was even better (wider = better deflection). However, since the Stryker is raked out up front, the National Cycle windshield mounts do not properly accommodate for the extra angle, thus, it ends up deflecting less air than the Yamaha version. I do wish the Yamaha windshield was a bit wider though.

Plus, because of the rake of the front forks, I find the Stryker really needs a set of lowers to better help with the wind. I plan to fabricate a set one of these days...

Where in Omaha do you get your service? We bought our bikes at Dillon's and take them there for service.
I always go to Hats Off Motorsports in Bellvue. I prefer the 'feel' of places like theirs to the larger dealerships. Plus, they are CRAZY helpful. It's a mon-n-pop type shop that is bigger than a simple mom-n-pop type shop...

They are the reason I head to Omaha from Lincoln for service. I only go to Star City Motorsports for the little stuff. I test drove a Stryker at Dillon, then bought one from Hats Off! Nothing against Dillion Bros - They seem very knowledgable and friendly. I just like working with (and talking with) the people at Hats Off...

And, hey, if you end up heading on over to a Raider, I think I know a fellow Nebraska guy who might just take that front pulley off your hands... :D:D:D
