Hey, Gator8...L&M has a spike seat pan for the Raider that I absolutely want for my Stryker! Maybe you could see if that's something you might want to tackle?
Gator Builds a Stryker
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.

Hey everyone thanks for the kind words...I am working on two new pieces for the stryker...one will resolve the front turns and the other is something for hiding the hoses on the left side...both products will be avail soon...company is getting put together now to go into more productions.
The seat pan is the lm seat pan...I think it can be improved and looking at that too...its going to be sometime before that comes out...but regards to comfort, pading really isn't all there is to making a seat comfortable, you really have to consider how humans are built and use that as a basis for comfort. I can ride a few hours with no problem, I've had every seat there is on various bikes, some are better than others, but its the design that plays the biggest role in the outcome. There will be a fully ready to go gunslinger seat in the future as well. That's what I call em anyway.
I'm a few weeks out on the next big change...but parts are getting preped now..so we shall see.
Thanks you to everyone, your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Have a great New Year.

Same Here, but I only kept the front Lollipops and spray tinted the lenses Black.dreadly said: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 lightsimmortal13 said:Gator that looks badass. The only thing I would recommend would be to replace those front turn signals with some led fork wraps.
ok the lollies are gone..put leds up in the trim on the faring. Sorry havent done real photos yet. Have a show this weekend..so busy time.
Have to wait to have the skull placed in the center of the faring...but time isn't always on your side. ha.

What fairing is that? It looks really good on the bike, and it fits the headlight perfectly. Also did you have to make your own mounting brackets for it?
Thanks so much for the hookup! I wonder if he can get the Vance and Hines Twin Slash Staggered exhaust? I only saw the Big Radius on their website.Gator8 said:First off thanks everyone for the compliments. More pictures are coming, but I'm waiting until the seat is finished and the right light..yes I said right light...just a photo guys way.abacon said:Hey gator, I see you have the curved side mount license plate bracket. I've been looking for the curved crome cover with an attatched LED and it looks like thats what yours is. If it is where did you find it? Thats the one reason i haven't put it on since i don't want to run the risk of getting pulled over for something like no license plate lights.
Thanks
The license tag holder is something I'm working with someone on, not 100% availible just yet, but yes I understand the legal problem...it really is something I'm happy with, its alum and you can pick your own cutout..mine has a skull cutout on the side, tucks in right behind the sproket. The option for chrome and pc are being worked out now. For now I'm sticking with the polished alum.
I told you guys I have a connection and I wanted to pass this along, I have worked out a deal so you can get 10% off any online order, they are a low and mean distributor along with other parts..some of you have mentioned them before. Like a lot of things I do, I don't do this for my own benifit, I have no stake hold in things...I just like to help people out if I can.
If you go to http://www.elitemotosports.com/ and use SSF10 at checkout you will get the 10% off. free shiping on orders over99.
Yes I do know the owner and he's proven to me to be an honest hard working family man, but this was something I asked for to share with the forum, as I have done a bit of spending with them and I like this forum so that's my motivation. The stryker isn't my only bike...so anyway just wanted to pass it along.
If anyone is interested in getting either a chrome set of wheels it can be done via exchange or a send in and wait type of thing. That is just coming online soon, but if your interested you can give em a call.
I could understand if you want to give Elite the business, but if they can't get it, this is the best price I've found:skwerlee said:Thanks so much for the hookup! I wonder if he can get the Vance and Hines Twin Slash Staggered exhaust? I only saw the Big Radius on their website.

Thanks for the link that's a good price! I just spoke with Elite Performance and they're going to get back with me about pricing on the V&H Twin Slash Staggered exhaust.bekohlko said:I could understand if you want to give Elite the business, but if they can't get it, this is the best price I've found:skwerlee said:Thanks so much for the hookup!

The faring is a mephis shades and yes the mounting brackets had to be made as mephis has yet to respond and make something for the bike, which is really lame imho...they could make a bracket for the bike and not be a big deal...but we are only a year into the bike so it happens...I'm just not willing to wait. Performance wise I can ride with or without it, but high speed runs are much more comfortable to me with a faring...and yes I do like the look. I'm going to redo the leds that I built into the trim but will do after paint is finished.bekohlko said:What fairing is that? It looks really good on the bike, and it fits the headlight perfectly.

Big weekend show down here in florida..if anyone is goes to quaker state look for the elite booth.
I've got a couple of parts I'm working on, but this stuff takes time.
Thanks for the kind remarks....it means a lot from fellow owners.
Man that thing looks sick... What part number is that fairing? and would you be willing to make me a mounting bracket for it?
How much did you drop the rear? Looks awesome!
Really Nice Gator! It all fits together perfectly! Great Job!!
Gator that is great looking. I had given up on the idea of putting a Batwing on my bike but now that I've seen yours I'm screwed. Where do I spend my money LOL???? Seriously though you should sell the mounting brackets for the batwing since MS isn't going to anytime soon. Just my two cents worth...
Hey Gator that bike is looking bad ass! Keep up the good work. Do you have a pic from the cockpit....wondering how the key access is?
key access is not a problem at all...and shouldn't be a concern.
Today wired in my garage remote with a push button on top of the spedo housing...works like a charm.
I think the wing will go to paint in a week or so..just to finish this bike...I've run out of things to do on her...so looking for my next project.
Just finished a customers bike, now things are at a stand still so time to start working on the new composite parts...always looking for the next challenge.

Wow that fairing looks amazing on the bike and the bike overall looks amazing.....how hard was it to make the mounts for the fairing do you have any drawings...
Very nice looking bike Gator. I thought the fairings would look just plain silly on these bikes. Boy was i wrong, that looks awesome on your bike.
