Wow, what a great Rocker thread! I sat here the whole day and read every line of every page (all 70 of them). Rocker B. You've done a stellar job on your Rocker C. I really like the upgraded speedo and console along with the grenade cover and the chrome wheels. But most of all I admire your mechanical skills. My local HD dealer would never know my name if I had the tools and brains to use'em. Thanks for taking the time to post all the little details along the way.
Hey thanks a lot Motley, I appreciate it!! Glad you like my bike, and the thread... and welcome to the Forums!!

you first post on the forum. And what do you do?
Credit one of my most favorite threads and members to boot.
That deserves a great welcome and a how do you do?
Enjoy your stay. Come back often and ride safer brother!
Did you change the stand on your bike? I have an exention on the OEM one to clear the belt drive, what did you do?
Yes, I did install a Arlen Ness (-1") lowered kickstand, but still had the same problem with the stand not clearing the belt drive...I can't tell in your pic if you have a 2" or 3" belt, but with my 2", I used a piece of heater hose on the lower frame rail, it works as a spacer and keeps the stand out enough to clear the belt drive. I would think for a 3" belt, 2 pieces of hose might work, 1 on the frame and 1 on the spring....and by the way Robert, your bike looks great!!
Curious about the chin spoiler. I looked into the one you are running. I like how deep it goes out.
Wondered if you knew of any others for this bike you looked at? I can't seem to find any for softails that aren't discontinued. Plus an injection plastic would be good to avoid cracking that can occur with fibreglass

I don't know of any plastic spoilers, Dark-Parts makes one for the Breakout that would fit the Rocker, it's shorter and also deeper, so it sticks out further then the Thunderbike spoiler, but it too is fiberglass...http://www.dark-parts.com/product/sp...akout/?lang=en
Today I finally came across a chrome backing plate for my Arlen Ness Big Sucker air cleaner!! I've been looking for one for over a year, since I found out that new replacement plates are only available in the plain, unfinished metal, like I currently have. If you want chrome or black you have to buy the complete a/c assembly, so I've been keeping my eye out for a chrome take-off...
I'm hoping it looks as good in person as it does in the pics the seller sent me!!
