I was just looking to get a list of interchangable parts between the Stryker and the V-Star 1300 custom.

I looked at the engine part numbers and they are the same. What else is the same?

 

[Matt St. John]

Specific parts that I'm looking at are the triple trees, controls, swing arm, fenders or anything along those lines.

Vstar 1300+Stryker= VStryker. Get it? :-\

Ya, I wasn't up to speed. I'm just looking to do custom work and the cheapest easiest way to do it a lot of times is to find bikes that have similar make ups and frankenstein parts between them. If the stryker swing arm/rim is interchangable then a wide tire kit is gonna be much easier to do on the 1300 vstar than buying it from a company.

Smart Thinking Matt! Thats what I did with the Raider front Full Reaper Fender and the Vstar 1000 Floorboards

 

[schimbo stryker]

Sounds like awesome idea. Im not sure what is changeable tho. Good luck

 

[wlfpak65]

Thats some good thinking there.... Wish i was that smart lol

That's why I'm interested in the parts. Once I get the bike, no eta yet. I'll make some frame measurments. But I'll need the stryker measurements as well. Can one of you guys take a couple for me? Preferably of the swing arm where it connects to the frame. Width, depth. I'm checking part numbers for the stuff to see if there are any simularities.

Whatever you do make sure you don't need the stryker belt! Pricey!!!

 

[Matt St. John]

U can always find those kind of parts. People are always doing pulley/belt swaps or there is a wrecked bike that you can pull some old peices off of. Ebay is good as well as online salvage yards, and of course, forums.

I have a stratoliner rear pulley/belt setup on my Raider and am looking for a headlight off of a victory that won't break the bank. As well as a couple other parts.

I'm cheap...

 

[wlfpak65]

Cheap isnt always good & good isnt always cheap..
Did i say that rite? thought id say that cuz it reminded me of it lol
No worries... I cheap as **** too lmao! Soo far ive only spent $350 on my ride and thats just for my scorpio alarm system lol

Sweet bro !

I found out today that the frames are almost identical between the 1300 v-star the stryker, the only differences are the spine and the angle of the neck.

That means that most of the parts are interchangable between the two. Rear fender, rear fender stays, swingarm, rear rim, pulley, exhaust, and some other stuff as well. It's good to know.

So that takes the price of putting a wide tire on the 1300 v-star way way down.

I'm not sure about the triple tree and front end assembly. It should work but think it'd be too long because of the angle of the neck, it goes more towards the ground. I think it'd look horrible. However, I am looking at at both a front and rear rim from a stryker as well as both of the low n mean fenders, front and back. I think it'd look cool on that 1300. It'd make it pretty muscular looking. We'll see what happens.

Is the swingarm on the Vstar1300 the same width? Its a lot nicer looking, but will it hold a 240 tire?

 

[Matt St. John]

not sure. looks like they measure up to be the same. the mounts where the only thing measured. i'll get more tomorrow. what's the measurments of ur swingarm so i can compare?

 

[Natedog]

Good question. Not sure. I'll have to get back to you on that one.
