After lurking here for a couple of weeks, I finally pulled the trigger on a black Stryker. Seems like there are a lot of great people here, and definitely tons of info. I've been riding a FZ1 for the past 4 years. While it has been a blast, especially in the twisties, my body has decided it's time to move onto something more comfortable.

So far I've drilled the stock exhaust, installed the Cobra Powrpro tuner and Powrpro Air Intake. Waiting on a Freedom Performance Sharp Curve exhaust which is back ordered.

Definitely going to practice some slow speed turning drills and clutch control on the Stryker. The extra 200 pounds and longer wheel base will take some getting use to. Looking forward to participating here and the mod madness that comes with it.

Nice bikes and welcome from Northern AZ! Yea coming from a sportbike, I'd say taking slower turns and feathering clutch more has been the 2 biggest changes. But overall, very easy transition.

Welcome from Chicago. Can't wait to see the new exhaust from Freedom Performance on the Stryker. My hubby just put them on his Roadliner and they sound awesome.

Thanks all for the welcome.

I think the Freedom exhaust would look good on pretty much any bike. I'll definitely post pics after I receive it.

You're braver than me man. Don't think I'll try scraping pegs for a while!
