I will be getting my 13 Stryker in a couple days! Pretty pumped :thumb: Anyways, my question is, Im 6'1". Will this bike feel too small or look too small without getting forward controls right away? My first bike was a 08 Vstar 650 and needless to say, it felt pretty cramped. Just curious what others have found. Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum. I am 6'1" also. I rode bike with no complaints for a few thousand miles. Then I found a way to drill 1 hole in my OEM engine guards and moved the controls 2" forward( among other things), but that made a big difference in comfort.

Congrat's on your Ride & Welcome to the Forum ~ May you enjoy both!

I'm 6' & don't feel cramped at all, though I would like to move the controls forward a couple or inches or so - to make it just a tad bit more comfy.

Awesome! Thanks, sitting on it in the showroom it feels pretty comfortable, but just wanted to see how it went once on the road for a slightly tall guy. Hopefully have the bike this weekend, will keep yall updated! Pics to come!

6' tall the stock controls aren't bad but 2-3 hour ride it's different . The controls forward 3" made a world of difference . Its ALOT BETTER ! Should be high on the mod list .

Thanks Dewd, just got home with it. The little bit of ride home was sweet, cant wait to ride som more tomorrow

I guess sometimes it pays to be short. I'm 5'4" and my controls are pretty much as far forward as I could handle............very comfortable for me.

Welcome from California! I am 6' as well, and don't have any issues with the ergonomics. I am considering moving the controls forward anyway, but I don't feel cramped at all.
