The rear fender on the rocker is steel, THANK YOU.
Not downing the bike guy, but when I looked over on at thedealerI thought it felt and sounded "dead". More likethe plastic or fiberglass on a Corvette or boat and not like the fender on my truck.
When I said that it didn't feel or sound right for steel. The salesmaninsisted that it was. So we got a magnet off one of the tech'sand we couldn't get it to stick anywhere on it.
Check yours and see, maybe they are using two different pieces for some reason.

Nice rendering of the Rocker PhantomMaxx. That is very clean. I must say though, if they ever come out with a version likeYellowtang's beast then I'm selling the house and dumping the old lady for the down payment. Mind Boggeling!

Maybe acenter fill smooth topped tank (more room for custom paint?), relocate the key to the coil mounting, and putarestyledV-Rod like speedo/tach/dash on the handlebars?
I like that idea.

Nice mods.

I agree the name has to go though.

How do you say "I ride a Rocker" without sounding like you belong at a Wham concert?

PhantomMaxx... nice job... i like it.

i've gone to two different dealers now and have seen a red one and a blue one... both rocker c's.

if i ever thought about getting one of these bikes... think I'd go with the red. asi have looked it over, there is no way i would change the bars on this bike. love the way they "v" atop the pullbacks.

like the tank mod you made to the pic, and also the smooth oil.i think baloney cut pipes would make a big difference. maybe a different headlamp. think i would also square off the rear fender even though its shape seems to balance the bars.

i like the bike.

I bet everyone just RAN forward to proclaim .....
"I RIDE A FATBOY!!!!!"?
I still think of the Three Stooges when I hear someone mention a Knucklehead.
I don't think the name Rocker is so bad now come to think of it.

Looks good. If you watch the documentary on the birth of the VRod, the thing you notice is that design and functionality have to meet somewhere. Unfortunately, I think function ends up winning the battle sometimes.

Thanks everyone for your appreciation of my work and for you input. I do realize that new pipes like V&H Big Radius would look good along with some apes but I wanted to show how it should look bone stock from HD. I think the seat I created would actually work because it is closer to the Fulcrum end of the swing arm, the end that has less motion. Also without the hide-a-way passenger jump-seat this solo seat can sit flat near the frame.
