Hi! ~I'm new to this form. I only just got my Stryker (Raven) last spring and for the most part, I love it. I live in Eastern Canada...our riding season is short, but somehow I manage to put 10,000 kms a year on my bikes.

I've got a few changes in mind that I want to do to my Stryker this summer....I'd like the appearance of less clutter below the rear fender.... I'm trying to gather various ideas/methods for trimming or even eliminating the rear plastic fender. If anybody has any knowledge/experience/photos/ in doing this, I'd love to "pick your brain".
Cheers!

Hi J4Patrice,
Thanks for the welcome to this site, really appreciate it! I'm still finding my way around here... I'm looking forward to exploring it more and hopefully finding the info I need. I'm excited about the future possibility of making a few changes to my stryker's looks. It'll be great to read what others have to say .
Regarding this site, do you mind if I ask a question??-I noticed a few members are "hero" members, does that indicate a person served in the armed forces? Cheers!-Carol ( a junior member

Haha hero members just mean that we've blabbed on here for long enough. As you increase in post count, the designations change.

Just like Mike says. That's just blabbing rights.

Hi Guys! I just wanted to say thank you! You've all been a big help-this spring my husband & I removed/trimmed the plastic fender. He relocated the license using a ScootMods Maltese Cross brake light/license holder. I'm really pleased with the look. I wouldn't have been bold enough to try it if not for this site and the help of other Stryker owners.
