Over the Winter, I have done a few mods to my Stryker. I bought the Raven because I liked the blacked out look. It wasn't enough for me though, lol... I have been viewing this forum for about a year now and it has given me some great ideas that I incorporated. So far, the mods are as follows:

Speedo cover, switch cover, headlight, brake pedal, shifter arm, horn, starter, rocker box covers, engine plates, brake disc dust cover, mirrors all painted black.

Exhaust completely gutted out, no cat, power venturi at muffler inlet. Sanded it down and painted black with VHT 2000 degree and then Clearcoated twice.

CobraFlo Air Intake and Cobra PowerFlo Autotuner

Turned the front fender around and cut a custom design in it, Repainted.

Relocated tag to left side mount and customized with chain and spikes, black

Removed rear tail light assy and replaced with Custom LED Blaster X. Turned it upside down and recessed it for a clean factory look. Made brackets to fit.

Added short backrest and attached a side bag for small items.

Dunlop E3 240 rear tire and lowered 2.25" in rear with PCS links

raised front end 1/2" by lowering forks into triple tree 1/2"

Added factory windshield and Rad 3 mirrors

wrapped the boot guard with leather to keep paint intact.

Black front axle spikes added for effect

Added irate Customs Flame grill cover and painted black.

I like the way it turned out and performance is awesome (125+ mph)

You got a lot done. Looks good. The tailight looks good tucked up like that. Good work.

Thanks bool, always a work in progress. I need grips and foot pegs but I am struggling with which ones. We are limited to just a few grips.

Sweet Bro................Looks awesome. Love the all black out look. Had thought about doing mine that way also. Still might.

What paint did you use on the engine chrome?

Yes, I agree.. always a work in progress. I am afraid of the day I am done with mine. I enjoy modding my bike. I am sure once I am "done" I will find some things to change. LOL

Very Well Done. Black is Best!!

Your ride looks great

Looks great. The taillight and larger wheel makes the rear look so much nicer. That is next on my agenda.

looks great, nice work, love what ya did with the front fender

Looks great!:thumb:

I thought the fender design would get me by til I can come up with a good sturdy wrap around.

Thanks for the praises guys... Wish it would warm up so I could ride

Tail Light is an inexpensive mod that makes a huge difference especially if you lower the bike. ($130 for light and custom brackets)

Awesome job! Extending the black to the pegs and controls really adds to the details. Is that the 17" windscreen? That height looks perfect as I only recall seeing the 22" and 10".

great job man...i love those DIY cheap mods!

 

[dreadly]

Nice work!
It would have been great is Yamaha wouldn't have put on the tank sticker ...

Yeah you see over the shield. It is angled back so it is a great deflector without adding any wind drag. Kinda pricey though :frown:

Ain't that the F#%kin truth. I am gonna fix it, i just have to catch a day when I've had a few too many, then I am going to try to razor the edges of the clear around the sticker and heat it to remove. Then compound and polish it back. If it doesn't work then I guess I'll be painting, lol

Took my tank sticker off with goo gone and my fingernails. Took a while, but looks much better gone. I was a little too nervous to take a razor blade to the paint.

Are you taking about the wings on the sides of tank? I think that's what they're talking about.

Nope, talking about the yellow and white on top...my bad. That method probably wouldn't work on the flames.
