I have been working with a company for about 2 months to get the extensions made. A friend (used to be a member here) provided them some measurements almost 1.5 years ago but for some reason the threads were about .003 off. I ended up sending them a fork cap so the machinest could get the measurement perfect. They worked perfectly and went in without any problems.

The install was failry easy by removing stock fork caps, screwing in the extensions, loosening the triple tree clamps and sliding the forks down. All the control cables reach and the front brakeline still fits, but it is pulled a little tight.

The seating position seems more comfortable and little more kicked back. The pegs don't scrape as easy, which is a huge benifit for me. I can't stand the pegs being such a limiting factor when cornering.

Orginal height but lowered 2.25 inches in the rear.

After extensions

Made my own fork covers for the top

This was a stock seat that I bought off a forum member (Thanks again afcop97!!) and cut to make my own solo seat. It didn't come out that bad.

SO no more passenger seat and back rest for now.

Cost:
Extensions $85 http://www.billskimods.com/products.htm email only for info about the extensions.
Front Brakeline $50 http://spieglerusa.com/brakes.html

I can get some more pics if needed... just let me know.

I'm trying to comprehend what is going on. So you have new forks, and it made the rack a bit less? I really, really need a way to stop scrapping pegs so much 2 up.

Basically I added 3" to the stock forks. This ended up pushing to front up and the tire out a little bit. This won't help with you being cramped up while riding 2 up.

I have the forward controls, and I scrape pegs and even the frame from time to time. If this pushes my front end up(and my forward pegs up) this may be perfect for me.

Nice job urban! I see they dont have the fork extensions listed for the Stryker yet, but they did yours so I will call them and see what they can do for me.

Did you just wrap your forks? If so, what did you use?
They look good

I just called the phone number listed on their webpage and not a good number 1-866-897-0677.

Sorry I didn't mention that earlier. They are going through a transition and getting rid of their service/maintenance shop to focus on custom products. As of now they have email only.

Email Elaine at [email protected]. It might take a day or two to get back to you but she will.

Thanks Dreadly,
I used some vinyl that was left over from the seat and 3/4" velcro with the sticky back for the seam. I plan on teaching myself how to use a sewing machine so I can actually sew the velcro to the vinyl, but for now it works.

Here is what the seam looks like.

The seam isn't noticeable once it is turned to back.

Go for it! They can do 1"-4" with a flush or spiked top. Here you can see that I opted to leave about 1/4" on top.

did you have to adjust your headlight now that the front is pointed more upward?

 

[dreadly]

thanks ... I have done the same thing and recently removed mine. Just looking for a different way to attach the vinyl

Yep! that will happen when I install the new LED blinkers.

Thanks Urban- I emailed them about doing just 2" for me. I will try and be patient LOL! I did the exact same covers for my uppers last year. I do know how to run the sewing machine and did for this project, but don't tell ANYONE! HEHEHE

Sweet Urban, It is noticeable and sets the bike off even more. Looks awesome. How does it feel riding?

Thanks Bozzly,
It feels like you are tucked into the bike more (I hope that sense). The road manners haven't changed at all and I love the fact scraping the pegs isn't as easy..lol

Very Nice Urban. Seems like it turned out to be a great mod. It sure does look sweet. You may have started something here. LOL...
