Alain you're not wrong about parts being expensive and to ship from Thunderbike. Awesome parts, I would of bought a heap from them, but would of tripled the cost of an already expensive project. It's a shame

For an idea of how it looks, you might look at the '09 CVO Springer.

I read somewhere that those were built on the Rocker frame with the different rear fender.

Looks like the CVO springer lol. The idle/throttle cables and front brake line on that thing would drive me nuts if I owned that bike, they're all over the place.

I would like to see one with a little more rake on it.

Yeah. I got 3 degree rake in the trees. Fits the bike perfectly with a 21 inch wheel.

Without raking it out a bit the springer front end kinda looks bland to me. Not only on the rocker but on any bike. That's my personal taste anyway.

That looks like a moco springer on the thunderbikes pic. it looks like an fx springer powder coated white and black. The fx springer always looked "smooshed" to me. Might wanna buy those Vulcan 3, 3.5 degree cups someday but who knows...
Just looked at their website, they sell a copycat springer. Looks good though.

There happens to be a Rocker on eBay with a springer front end.

Lol Thunderbike is 90 min from my house. Even without shipping they are still expensive though.

I looked at buying my springer from them, would of been up around $5000 Aussie dollars by the time it got to me....they look like quality gear, but unless you have unlimited credit card I don't know how any one affords them
