i'm in burnsville and ride out of wild bills in apple valley once in a while. i haven't seen many strykers at all around here. been to stillwater and prescot a couple times but still im the only one in a group with almost all hd's. just wanted to see in person what you guys been doing to your strykers.

Well, I got my Stryker a couple weeks ago and I'm up in Andover, MN so ride mainly north, east and west from here with friends. However I've been to Stillwater last Saturday and I was the only Stryker in 4 other Street Glides and a couple customs.

Now I'll likely be on and off the bike for a few weeks while I begin my customizations. My inability to decide on which exhaust to go with is killing me. Can't decide whether I want to go with Cobra 2 into 1 for the little boost of performance - or 2 into 2's (Cobra Swepts or V&H Big Radius).

I haven't done much but sometime in the next month and half going to be going up to Ely, still deciding if I want to take the bike, also next week going up to the cities on Tuesday and Wednesday, wednesday is out cause I gotta leave right away for work. I'd love to see another Stryker lol

There are a couple of us around the Duluth area, but I haven't seen many on the road. I get down to the cities once in a while, but not as often as I used to. I was going to head down for the Patriot ride in Ham Lake, but we are going to do the Diabetes run up here instead.

I'm in Burnsville too. Off Judicial and Williams. I make it over to Wild Bills every once in a while but I am usually in no condition to ride when I go there. fI'd be down to meet up for a ride. Do you have any favorite places that are close to us?

I've been taking cruises up north. Hibbing, floodwood, grand rapids, aurora, moose lake, and duluth. I haven't seen a stryker yet. Been meaning to catch up with dotcom on one of those thursday rides.I did make it to dennis kirk last tuesday for a mustang wide touring seat with backrest. I'm not impressed with how it pushes me more towards the tank. But it definitely helped my back. Thinking of getting rid of it. I don't think I can return it, but, I'm going to see if I can.

mod wise. Not much. Seat, windshield, mirrors, custom stickers. Looking at getting a swing arm bag. looked pretty sweet on a post here. Something to put a hat, helmet visor, bottle water. Something for a day trip. Maybe some saddle bags in the future. Go!ng to get those **** stickers off my tank!

Watch out for the seals swimming around in the floods.

Seals are no problem, it's the polar bear I'd be worried about! It's intense up here! All the damage! Washed out roads and bridges. Never seen anything like this.

Hopefully everybody is safe and you guys can get through this. Very sad to see something like this in such a cool city to visit.

I'm up in Forest Lake.

Have put on the cobra swepts (they are awesome) and the cobra fuel programmer.

I also have the Yamaha 17" quick release windshield to put on.

I will be getting an intake probably next month.

There is another friend of mine that just picked up a 2012 Stryker in Forest Lake as well.
He is putting on the Low & Mean LED tail light, has engine guards, windshield.

 

[Minibob]

Around cloquet it's pretty flooded around the river. a lot of flooded basements. But, nothing compared to duluth.

Top gun, speed mods, that's cool.

I live in Duluth and try to hit up bike nights here and there when I can. Anyone in the area feel free to hit me up for a ride or whatever any time. Let's get in trouble.

 

[snowman68]

I was just up in that area a week and a half ago.... I wish could have brought the bike found a few roads that would have been fun on a bike

 

[Minibob]

There are some nice ones...sadly with the flood we lost the twisty road through jay cooke. That's a lot of fun for a quick ride. What roads/area were you on/in?

Ely to Sudan for sure then drove through Bear Head St park... We went up to Ely through Cloquet

 

[Minibob]

Cool, I haven't been up that far in years and not yet on the bike. You rolled right through my town.

I was so close with taking the bike but glad I didn't that night hit rain just north of you all the way to the resort we stayed at.... Then when I got home I saw I've got belts just starting to show on the stock tire. It's only like a 1/8 wide and 1/4 long.....accidently hit the rear brake a little to hard and it locked up is what I'm guessing what happened, that and it's kind of a crappy tire

ha! Flat spotting is never good.

 

[snowman68]

I have a 1/4 band right down center of the tire that goes almost all the around thay looks like the rubber is extremely thin and coming off. Yes the roads are straight and everytime I checked air pressure it's right where its suppose to be, so I'm guessing the tire is just a pos.
