Mr Monte's Build - Back together after 6 months!

6 months ago my son layed down my Stryker on a gravel filled curve.

I dropped off the parts to painter #1 & after 5 1/2 months the police got my parts back & arrested him for theft.

I dropped off my parts to painter #2 last Thursday & picked up my painted parts today

I'm hoping to have time this weekend to get it all together.


After drop

Waiting for paint

Black base with red pearl in clear coat.

Low light

In sun - it looks even better in person

I'll bet that pearl looks great in the sun! Can't wait to see pics of the completed bike outside.

I'm digging than paint...pearls look awesome when laid down properly

 

[J4patrice]

Awesome, I'm sure it does look better in person and most definitely in the sun.

This is the by far the nicest blackcherry I have never seen ! I think you have sealed the deal on this one sir! Right out of the ball park. :closed_2:

Put my Stryker back together yesterday then it started raining. I took some pics this morning but will take more when (if) the sun comes out today. Its a crisp 20s F right not but should warm up to the 40s.

The Stryker started right up even after sitting over 6 months. That was the 1st time I've heard the Cobra Swept's in person. Youtube clips don't capture the awesome sound of these pipes.

Notice my rear peg location. I designed the bracket for the stock exhaust then Boolshot's made me a set. To fit the Cobra Swepts I had to cut, weld then trim a bit but I'm very happy with the end results. I sent my updated measurements to Boolshot's

Planning on fabbing up a chrome ring to go around the gas cap today.

LOVE that new paint color! Looks great!

 

[stroguy]

Looks great.

I have the factory chrome trim for the tank. Just needs the 3M tape.

Is that a Corbin seat?

 

[Mr monte]

Is that a Corbin seat?

It's a Mustang seat. If has better back support than the factory seat but does push you forward a little bit so the 3" forward controls were a must. The rear seat is way better than factory which makes my wife happy

Great looking paint job. And yes, the swepts do have an awesome sound on the stryker. Loud enough to let people know you're there, but not so loud as to be annoying.

Looks great

Awesome, Mr. Monte. I know you can't wait to take it out for a ride. :thumb:

I just got back from an awesome ride. It warmed up to 32F & sunny. It has more pep than I remember. Forcast calls for sun & highs in the 40s the next 5 days. Pretty rare for the Northwest to have that much sun in a row so I have alot on riding to catch up on.

A few more pics of my reborn Stryker. When my new mirrors arrived I was a bit surprised about how small they are but after riding my Stryker for the last few days these mirrors work well

Looks Great
