Ok...I was going to wait and just post a finished product, but you know how it is...its good to share and besides the timer is ticking on this one.

So the bike had 600 miles on it and the wrench's came out, did a lot of research and with the help of a modern day processes the build began...Now as of monday the bike was torn down as paint was ready to go to work, on monday night rims were here and now things were starting to take shape.

Here's the front..she's installed and good to go, just wanted to share the first real sneak peak at her new look.

Check out this steel one on eBay. This is the one I'm using. Sturdier than ****, pivots horizontal and vertical and costs $30. Seriously, you can't go wrong with this one if you're willing to pull the wheel, etc. to put it on.

Now that is what I'm talking about! Looks like good quality too!
Really nice looken. And I really like the way V&H big rs look on the Strykers.
Looks great!
Wow that really looks good. Are those V&H Big Rs with an extra cut on the end of the pipes?
No those are just the vh big r for the warrior..that's how they come for that bike.

Thanks guys...its been a busy time, with multiple projects it just goes on and on. I hope to post some photos of the seat I ended up wrapping it myself and frankly thinking about starting to do some more serious work on that side of things, been looking at buying a machine to make fancy seat stitching designs, I kept this one simple for now, but it was intresting build up.

Oh..I wanted to throw out there if anyone has any product ideas they would like see built please let me know, I'm working on expanding a few things for myself and do some work in platics, fiberglass and metal...you know like you've seen a part on another bike but no one has it for yours..that kind of thing.
Cool Gator, I will definately keep that in mind!!

how does that new seat feel in comparison to the stock? I can't see how that will not kill your butt and lower back on 3-4 hour rides... Let me know, I'm using a stock pan at the moment and plan to shave it, but I like the idea of extra ass padding.
Gator that looks badass. The only thing I would recommend would be to replace those front turn signals with some led fork wraps.
Gator, the finish look is awesome. you have a one of a kind bike there. nice.

I am the one of the few that likes the lollipops on this forum or Raider forum. I am going to tint the wife's Stryker signal lights
OK man....to each his own. I hated those things. Your bike still looks badass tho. I'm getting a custom paint job on mine asap!!
