Greetings! I've been poking around as a guest here for a couple of weeks. Great forum. I've been riding for a long time, until four years ago when I had a crash in the mountains. Got hurt bad enough to put me in a wheelchair for awhile and about a year beyond that to heal up. I thought I was done riding until this year when I started looking at bikes again and the old fever has crept back. Sooo, when I saw a Raider for the first time, it was instant love. Then I saw the Stryker. Uh-oh. Now I've git a hard decision.
I'm gonna go sit on a couple of bikes and see what feels best. At 6'3", I want some legroom and don't want to look like a gorrila on a toy bicycle. Looks like with either bike I'll want forward controls or extensions put on. Also considering a Roadliner because of it's size, but the styling of the Stryker and Raider both get me excited. The Roadliner would take a lot of modding to get it like I'd want it. I even like the stock pipes on the Stryker and Raider! I'm waiting until after the holidays to make my purchase, so in the meantime I'm reading everything I can find about these dream machines.
Has anyone put apes on these bikes?

Sorry to hear that you were in a bad enough wreck to keep you down like that for so long, but glad to hear you're feeling comfortable enough to consider getting back on a steel horse.
