Spent way too much money in the past week on the Stryker, but the outcome was awesome!
- Vance & Hines Twin Slash staggered exhaust. Got tired of the bulkiness and sound of the stock exhaust so I picked up the Vance & Hines. The sound is incredible… nice deep rumble, not too loud on idle but really opens up with the throttle.

- DIY big air mod. I didn’t want wifey to end up in prison for killing me so I decided to opt out of a $300 air kit and decided to make my own. Basically this does exactly what the kits do but was a lot cheaper. I’ll eventually get a K&N to help it get through the filter better, but this works for now.

Cobra Fi2000 PowrPro Auto-tune fuel programmer. With the exhaust and air filter mod, a programmer was a necessity. Instead of paying $250 for the programmer and another $250-$300 for a tune, I opted to spend a little more and go straight to the auto-tune. So now regardless of what I may change / add, my fuel programming will always be correct. Programmer is tucked under the seat for quick and easy access if needed.

Digital Guard Dawg RFID Keyless ignition. I was sick and tired of the horrible key placement on the Stryker (kept forgetting to remove the key) and I really wanted to be able to have a ‘demo’ and a better understanding of a product I am an authorized dealer for, so I went ahead and picked one up. I absolutely love it… nice and easy, no fumbling with a key, and completely secure since everything is completely tucked away making a ‘hot-wire’ virtually impossible. I had a hell of a time removing the factory ignition cylinder and ended up having to drill off the heads of the security bolts, but it was well worth it in the end. The ignition connectors are completely re-routed so they are not accessible without taking apart the entire bike. It also really cleaned up the front end. I also removed the really crappy audio setup. I’ll eventually do something, but that will have to wait a while.

Here’s a quick video of the Digital Guard Dawg. Don’t mind the narration, the video was made to put on my website to ‘demo’ the system. Don’t mind the bad quality… it was taken on my phone.
