Found a few more VStar 950 Midnight Bomber covers that fit. Well, sort of- the front & rear brake caliper covers are a direct fit to the Stryker, but I had to modify the Front Master cylinder cover to work.

Dave I love your ingenuity and imagination, and it cracks me up to see how many ways you can put "No7" on that bike!

Your covers look great. I want to change out my MC cover so could you tell me what you had to do to modify so it would work? Thanks

 

[11Stryker]

I frogsnotted it on top of the existing cover and found some mini JD emblems to set in screw holes. Frogsnot is a term for silicone sealant.

Great Idea, thank you so much for your help. it seems you are the go to guy here so i am hoping you could answer another question about the Stryker. I just bought it as it was brand new but a 2012. When riding at speed and say going up a hill, i notice that when i hit the throttle, i get a lot of clank and have to down shift. I am coming from a rocket 3T which is much larger as i am sure you know but I just want to know if this is normal for the stryker or if not, any suggestions? Might just me a leaning curve for me but want to make sure. Thanks again.

Stryker likes to be revved. Going below 50 in 5th gear on stock stryker will do that. The 30 tooth front pulley will fix that. Just down shift to 4th when that happens. 5th is actually a slight overdrive.

That was too soft, bro. I'm still all stock and at 50 I'm just coming out of third. Granted, she wouldn't like that when you immediately get rolling but after she's all warmed up she likes it hard.

Thanks again, on the mod difficulty scale for a shade tree how difficult is this to do on one's own? again, thanks for all your help.

Not too bad. 3 beers yeah. 3 for difficulty. maybe 1 hour job for a firsty.:nod:

 

[joker61]

Thank you, I think I can handle that. I will now look for instructions. thanks for your help.

 

[joker61]

Well, if you have time and could direct me to instructions on how to do this I would be most appreciative.
