Default Part number for chin spoiler

I just put 5.5" extended controls (custom) on my rocker to accommodate my 6'6" frame. So yes the stick out.

Do do you have that chin spoiler part number? I need to fill in the gap between now.

Or or any others that for the rocker and are 5 inch deep?

The chin spoiler is a Thunderbike Crossfire, part # 74-72-010. Here's a link...
https://shop.thunderbike.de/en/Thund...re-oxid-5.html

It comes with no vents, so I added the vent slots and mesh screen....

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!!

Thumbs up

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 have the 3" drive from Primo. With the extension the stand clears the belt fine.. I think I will leave it like it is.

And thanks for the compliment

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!!
