It will look good and will be an original....thats what its all about. I cant stand to see a bike left stock and not have anything done to it to make it stand out a little.

Anyhow, its an interesting concept none the less, and if the right pipes were added, and it was lowered a little, it might be pretty sweet.

All I did here was put a rake on it, stretched the forks, and re angled the lights, and markers.
I also stretched the seat out a bit, and customized the seat bracket mount, added a front fairing, and ditched the front breaks, with a 360 hub in mind. Don't know who is familiar with the 360 break, but here is a link to look so you'll know what I mean.

I will work on this some more, and will do a better job.

bro, that's a perfect rake on that rocker...... lol, you are making me think now about raking mine out.

I cannot complain about my life really.
There are somethings I wish I could change like anyone else, but I have given it a hell of a run so far, and enjoyed it all.

Agreed!

I will see what I can do on that.

I am not but so good with this thing, but I can at least get an overall silhouette of the project before someone under takes there own idea on a possible rendition, such as the rake.
I really don't understand why more people don't do more customizing with the rocker, besides just the license plate mod, and custom paint.
I mean I know its already sorta tricked out, but thats just the icing on the cake for a head start if you ask me.
The fat tire is a huge plus, as this is usually a $2000 and up add on for other bikes that don't already have it.
It also has a stretch tank which is also a nice feature.
So with that being said, I feel it is just begging for some custom touch ups from owners. There are a few rockers out there done up well, but I have yet to see anyone lower and rake one.
The 360 hub would really set the pace for "chopper" with no rotor in the front, with an inverted fork setup.
I would also invert the head light mount, sticking it further out, with a smooth styled bullet bezel, with the counter sunk lamp.
Little things seem to go a long way if done right.
But in order to do that, I feel its a must to have an over view of the project beforehand.
That really makes programs like photoshop worth the effort.

For goofing off's sake, here is a re make of the one above.
Added some scrolling to the metal parts, paint, stretched and shaved the headlight, and re colored a few things.
