I recently purchased my 2012 Stryker in February and I still have not had a chance to ride it, however I have already started changing the bike! Sometimes I wish I never found this site!!!

I was able to take advantage of great incentives at the time, and paid only $8399 plus taxes, title, etc. Then, the accessories started adding up as I looked through the catalog.

I added:

Tall Quick Release Backrest and Pad
Tall Quick Release Windshield
Saddlebag Supports
Yamaha Soft Bags
Engine Guards
Tank Mini-Bra

Here is a pic coming fresh out of the crate:

Here is another when I got it home with the accessories:

I have also added the RAM iPhone mount with a wiring harness:

And I installed a pushbutton garage door opener based on ideas I found here:

Mods that I would like to try (at little to no cost and it seems like a logical progression):
- Drilled Exhaust 1/2" x 4 - Complete
- Half Air Box Mod
- Full Air Box Mod

Other add-ons I would like to do (in no particular order):

LED rear light kit and fender replacement
License Plate Relocation
Kuryaykn Mechanical Throttle Cruise Assist - DIDN'T FIT
Kuryaykn Clutch Side Matching Bar End Weight - DIDN'T FIT
Kuryaykn ISO-Flame Grips - Complete

If you don't want to mess up your air box and exhaust I have a drilled exhaust for sale and a brand new air box. Let me know!

Thanks! I will keep that in mind. I was going to try both mods, and if I did not like how it turned out, I was going to go with the Cobra 2 to 1 pipe and the PowrFlo intake... Save before spend!!!!

May i suggest you looking into Front Peg Extensions? It made a huge difference in comfort for myself.

Extensions to move them forward, or to move them out from the bike?

I know the feeling Milani. This weather needs to break soon. This is a large list of mods, but not too bad. Looking forward to meet up and ride some day.

I know it's a lot, but this bike needs some chrome.. especially on the left side... You're are not far from us, so yeah we should meet for a ride someday.

It pushes them forward 3 inches. I think it's slightly out, maybe .5 inches. It just gives your legs a little break, and feels more natural.

Scootmod Forward Controls is what most people use.

Well, here we go!!! I just ordered the grips, cruise assist and the shift/brake pegs... I'll take pics once I get them on!

 

[milani]

It's Christmas in March!!!!! Now to get them installed and snap some pics!

The shift pegs look pretty big. I'm interested in seeing them installed.

Only thing about all thèse mods is that most who do end up getting rid of their bikes. Hope this wont be you after investing all that money. You dont get your money back on mods it only helps sell the bike faster.

Make it yours - screw resale.
Can't wait to see them installed!

Well, it's gonna have to wait until tomorrow. I need to run to the store for allen wrenches. Turns out the shift pegs need the smallest allen wrench in existence!!!! And I can't find my 8mm anywhere for the grips. This is the first bike that I have bought new, and I don't plan on selling it any time soon. It will be "my" bike when I am done... BRING ON THE CHROME!!!!

Dont tear it down too much. Looks like a decent riding day on Saturday. Want to meet up and ride? Would also like to see how those pegs look.

 

[milani]

Just got back from the store. I hope to have pics later today...

OK, pegs are on. I will write up a how-to soon, as there were a few tips/tricks. Pretty easy though, about 5 minutes per side...

Here is a comparison of the new to old peg - not too much bigger.

And here is the shift peg:

And the brake side:

And a front view:
