I haven't read each and every post before this one...

First, let me say that I think you did an amazing job and I LOVE that bad *** chop. As a Rocker owner though, I kinda don't think there is much Rocker left on that bike. Just me personally, I would have kept the Rocker semi stock (just bolt on parts, etc...) and spent the mod money on buying a big bear roller and and S & S 110. That is pretty much what it looks like to me anyway. Especially with the single down tube.

Don't get me wrong. I love that look and I wish I had your talent and vision Bro. Awesome job.

Tell me this...with the rake and trail on the bike now, how is it ride in heavy traffic and cruising around a parking lot? Is the front wheel flopping on you?

Old Skool, I appreciate your feedback. I used the rocker-c to do this project cause I already owned it and it was paid for instead of having to buy another bike. Sure, would have probably been cheaper but I didn't want another bike payment.

As far as the handling, it took me a day to get used to it but it actually handles really well, Doesn't wobble at high speeds or anything

Haha. I appreciate the compliment. I'd have to agree considering Sr's wasn't even a bike and JJ's wasn't anything special but you have to appreciate the fact that he built it from the ground up. Jr's was awesome cosmetically but a 1 gallon tank would no bueno in my book.
