Take the rear tire and swing arm, put them on a Standard or a Custom and scrap the rest.
I need to add that I didn't mean to exclude the NT, or even the Deuce, the tire/swingarm would look much better on either of them as well.
In other words scrap the Rocker and bring backthe Standard and Deuce.
Maybe with the Fatbob 49mm, or an optionalSpringerfront fork setup?
Something like that and I might bemore inclinded to trade in my Custom.
But even than I doubt it, I happen to like my Custom a little too much for that.

You guys do realize that the dropped models were dropped because they don't sell that well, correct? And the fact you want those models back in the lineup mightlead some to doubt the value of your opinions on theRocker, you know that, correct?

The Rocker production is almost "sold out" with advance orders...and delayed delivery. It seems likely to sell pretty well, at least at this point and I doubt the Deuce is coming back.Get over it....

TIme will tell butyou might be dramatically wrong. The Rocker "falls short" of a $30-50K price tagof most custom choppers...but it's still a " chopper" and hashas the backing anddealer support of MOCO.Personally, I think the Rocker will sell very well, some opinions here aside...

Like the concept.
Change the front end to a invertered wideglide with 3/4" T-Bars.
23" Front wheel with fat spokes.
Toss the speedo and replace with a small digital unit.
Front tank lift at least.
Sprung seat so looks like it is a hardtail. No passenger seat. Not meant to have a dead weight on the back.
Change pipes to a 2 into 1 and toss the football air cleaner.
Side mount No plate.
Smaller rear Blinkers mounted further forward.
Just a start.

I have tosee one in person. The standard model I dont like at all. From pictures I kinda like the C model then I dont. The gas tank bothers me the more I look at it.
