orthodoc, great job, you take all the HD logos off that machine and she'd look like she's come straight out of a custom shop. What front end did you go with, is it HD or some other make. Once again great job.

The bike looks Great!

What kind of seat is it? Where did you get it?

What is the make of the air intake system?

What air suspension system did you use? Where did you mount it?

Awesome job! How did you eliminate the gap behind the seat?

ortho, I'm one of those who proclaimed my dislike for the new Rockers, however, I also said I couldn't wait to see what guys that bought them did with them. I knew it was an excellent canvas to start with, and if someone were to do the right mods to it it could be an awesome bike. Well, you proved it can be an awesome bike, you did a great job, congrats!!! You and Rockermike should both be proud.

Wow, lots of questions! The best part about the bike (after a long ride) is that it is actually more stable. Sometimes upgrades make a bike shake or pull. I entered a highway and looked down to be going 90+. I used to get that same feeling with the unmodified rocker at 60-65 mph. The heavier and beefier front end stabilizes the bike to 100+.

I promise I will post a complete list of parts. I can tell you a lot of milling and trips to the chrome shop were required. The seat is the Rocker seat\\; I mean the FXCW. You would not believe the height and position change this actually meant. This was a guess, but it worked out great. In addition, I now can accelerate hard with out the feeling I am going to shoot off the back.

Thanks for all the compliments!
