Well its been over a year since I purchased my Stryker and I am ready to do some real customization. Some of this things I have done so far--

Low & Mean taillight mod along with Radiantz integrated license plate holder
Cobra Swept pipes
Cobra ProFlo Air Intake
Cobra Fi200 w/CVT Technology
Cobra Radiator Cover
Yamaha Engine Guards
Kurykan Iso Grips
Kurykan Swing Wings
Boulevard windshield with 17" Rifle replacement shield
Demon Cycle Aspen Z mirrors
PIAA Horn
PCS Lowering Links
Yamaha upper chrome belt guard
Yamaha short quick-release backrest

Yesterday, my hubby and I dismantled my Stryker in preparation for its new look. Spent an hour with the painter today discussing my theme. Looks like 4-6 weeks since I was lucky enough to get in before the other 6 bikes he is planning to work on.

So here are a couple pictures. When I first brought it home and what it looked like before dismantling. And of course my current state of nakedness (the bike that is) ;).

Stay tuned for the pictures of the finished project. Maybe a few progress pics. 8)

Thanks. Actually a late anniversary present. But won't be getting much more for Christmas. That's OK, I am so looking forward to seeing it completed. :)

I'm sure it will be really sharp once completed. You color choice is my oldest daughter's favorite. And the rest of the forum will have to wait for that info unless you want to divulge!

In the meantime it looks sort of bobberish...
If we get Indian Summer you just have to get the seat mounted so we can ride. You have a gallon in the reserve. Might be tricky to refill at the pump but I'm sure Steve can cobble something together:)

No divulging secrets Billy. ;) Yeah, it would be a little difficult to ride with no seat and gas tank. If we get some warm days in the next month and want to ride I could always have Steve put his back seat on and he can ride "b**ch".lol ;D

My painter told me 5-7 work days to paint my Stryker. Over 3 months later I'm still waiting. Guess if he's not working on it then it doesn't count as a work day :mad:

That's a huge difference in time. I think I would go to another painter.

Thanks. Not yet. Maybe some day.
I have nominated you a couple of times ;D
Thanks Jan. Maybe some day I will be worthy of that nomination. Its not all about the win, its just bragging rights. Anyways, this customization is for me. Just something I have wanted to do.

You didn't read this correctly, I said he (Steve) was going to ride "b**ch".
