Does anyone know what colors the stroker 2 came in? Specifically did they ever come in black? Was there just one yellow color used or were there 2 different yellows? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Woody.

Woody,
I am by no means a Stroker expert, but I remember the ones in my neighborhood and in the local shops in '77-'78. You had black, yellow, orange, red, sky blue, medium blue, metallic navy blue, metallic brown and metallic burgundy.

Hey Pete, thanks. That helps alot. Now does anyone know where you can get repro or original stroker 2 decals for the frame and forks? The reason I ask is because I have an original survivor (kind of mustard yellow) with the factory correct decals so I know the color on it is correct but I also have a lighter yellow frame I got off ebay and I think it's been painted after the fact, so I would like to return it to an original color. Woody.

I wish I could find original stickers...I have 2 Strokers and I need stickers for both. No one around here does "old school" plate printing anymore. I borrowed an original Two Wheelers headtube decal years ago and did color separations by hand and went looking for a printer...they all asked me if I had it on a disc so they could pop it into their inkjet printers. Sad.

The decals show up occasionally on eBay. Every two or three months there are some reproductions for sale. I don't have any idea of the quality. Every now and then some NOS will appear as well.
You might try the "Wanted" section as well. I'm sure there are a few members who have what you need.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. That sounds like the name I heard someone mention before. I knew it was someone from the Nor Cal area that sells on ebay. I'm surprised, if the guy made some sets before, why not make a bunch of sets? Anyhow, guess I will keep on hunting. Thanks, Woody.
