Finally Took Delivery of my blue 08 Rocker C...
Too bad I am flying back to the States for a few weeks and won't be able to do anything with her. It is still burr butt cold here in Germany, but the sun is finally out and it stays light longer than 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
She only has 1,040 miles on her. I already have a Danny Gray ready to put on with gel and a black Iron Cross. Now I gotta remove the decals the previous owner put on it and throw on a set of Santee High Narrow Bonanza II's. I was also considering the RSD Short Stacks or Vintage bars. I have to research risers though.
I only get 15 inches from the bottom of the grip to the seat when I go back to Ohio. After reading the material in the handbook, it doesn't specify where on the grip and where on the seat. So, if they go lowest point then I'll fight it. I'll go bottom of the grip to the front of the seat.
My goal is to get it stripped down to the natural metal, paint the frame black, raise the gas tank about an inch in the front, and make it look like the Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man bike. Within reason of course. I am not copying the logo's or anything. I need a cool design to put on the side.
I am also trying to see how it would be to leave the frame and oil tank blue and strip the gas tank, and fenders down to the metal. That might work too and make it a little different from a standard black bike.
Also coming are Arlen Ness billet knurled flair tip grips and pegs, because you have to have some traction to hold on to in the cool moisture here. And, I am removing the passenger pegs.
I actually couldn't sleep last night and I had a PT test this morning. It's all good though. At 41 I can still max it out, but it ain't easy anymore...lmao. I'm always sore.

I got a 2" off ebay that I need to paint to match my tank. It came powder coated black. The kits come with a longer crossover line incase it's needed. Stock mounted turnsignals will not clear the tank with a lift kit on the Rocker.
3" Leather Works solo bag. They also make a 5" wide one. Drew from DR. VTWIN can get you a savings. Just PM him about the price on the 3" and 5" bags.

Just got back from Daytona Bike week. Put 300 miles on my '08 rocker & by time I got home @ss was miserable. Did that Danny Gray seat make a big difference? I had a Seat pad that I thought would help, but didn't. Also, what is leatherworks bag? Don't see one on your bike pic..
