Minimum you may need to drill that mounting hole on your own.

BTW...What headlight is that on your Rocker? It's LED, right?
Ok, thanks Ray, I'll check with Nostradamus about any install issues, looked like a simple bolt on, unless of course they make it too narrow?? Not sure yet about the seat, until I have the fender in hand, but I might keep the Danny Gray that's on there, if I can make it work, or my stock Rocker or Breakout seat re-worked may be another option, they also sell a seat plate for the Rocker that works with their fender, and I could have a seat built ....The headlight is Octane Lightings "DayMaker" got it on Ebay $129. Thought I'd give it a try, so far so good, seems just about as bright as the real HD DayMaker I have on the BO...

I dont like the short fender from ThunderBike, sorry. The fender of the rocker c is only in Harley Davidson and very beauty.
It is a part identification of the bike. Also, the bike will look smal with the ThunderBike fender.
With 21" wheel, you can use the stock fender with a fender mount for 21".

I gotta agree, I think the stock fender is sexy as he'll, and is what makes the Rocker a Rocker. Especially once you shave the plate, and fill the holes...

That's the reason why I keep the stock fender on my Breakout, too. One of the most characteristic parts, IMO. Most people where I live tend to swap their stock fenders for those short thumbnail-shaped ones. This way it's even more "custom" to maintain the stocker ...and cheaper as well!

One of the reasons for ordering the TB fender was that I'm not 100% sure I'll like the chopped look more myself (but I think I will) and didn't want to cut the stocker, just in case....This way I can always switch back if I end up not liking the short fender as much, change my mind later, or just want to change things up down the road, it will be easy to swap out if I want, just 4 bolts and a plug...

That sounds like a plan. Better than going "all or nothing". Only thing is the money spent for this "experiment".

True, maybe I'll use both... I can have a summer fender and a winter fender!!! LOL.......Hey wait, that could actually work, I might slap the long one on during the rainy season, then I can enjoy both looks!!
