The stryker is only my 2nd bike. My first one was a 750 shadow that I owned for 3 weeks till a yamaha dealer offered me more money for it than I had paid for it... I really liked the Raider but since I have not been on a bike for almost 25 years so wanted something smaller... 750 was too small then I saw the Stryker... 1/2 way between the 2 sizes so I went for it... I am glad I found this site you guys have a lot of good info and unlike the H-D forum sites I've checked out there really isn't pissing contest going on here which is nice.... Keep up the good work on the site and with any luck I can get to ride with some of you

Already love the bike 750 shadow had a hard time staying at hiway speeds with a head wind, test rode the Stryker and was almost at hiway speed in 2nd gear lol and as far as the forum I checked it out for about a month before signing up. If the owner of old no 7 don't mind I want to put Stryker on the tank.

Hey Snowman, I have some same size Stryker Decals as what was on my tank in Chrome decal if interested. I am having my tank painted factory black without decals for this year. I don't have a patent on my bike look anyway LOL

Welcome from sunny Cali, well ah except where I am this time of year. It's been a mild winter but I'm watching the snow fall right now at the rate of about a 1/2 in an hr. :'( I expect 2 or three ft by morning.

Welcome from Illinois. Wow, your story sounds just like mine. My Stryker is only my 2nd bike and I also owned a 750 shadow for less than a year when I traded up. They gave me such a great deal I couldn't pass it up. And also, prior to my 750, I had not rode for about 25 years. I know you are going to enjoy your Stryker, I do.

Lol that's too funny.... I was offered about 1100 more then with the 300 cash back I found it too hard to walk away. I do like it so much more than the shadow and all the positive commits, even from Harley riders just makes it that much nicer.

I'll have to keep that in mind, I was planning on going with german gothic font, I didn't get a real good look at yours since I'm usually on my phone checking things out. I would like to remove the factory stripes first, and also my tank and back fender needs little paint done to it. Had it home 3 days and someone took a screwdriver to it
