Default Rocker B: MY ROCKER C MOD THREAD

With mods on my Breakout winding down (for now anyway), I'm gonna turn my attention back to my '09 Rocker C !! and I figured I'd start a thread...I don't have a set plan, or know exactly what all I'll be doing at this point??? I definitely will be going with new tires and wheels, with a 21" front, 250 or 260 rear and a matching 70t or 72t rear pulley and rotors. Then probably lower it a bit. I'm also looking at options to modify/change out the center console/speedo. I'll eventually get to some motor upgrades, like to do cams for sure, maybe more?? But a 2" tank lift, braided stainless cross-over line, new bars/controls/grips/levers/cables/front brake line and stealthy led front turn signals will be the first few things I do!! Just waiting on a couple of these parts to get started!!

How about removing those reflectors and then I going for chrome calipers and chrome lower belt guard if you were to keep the current pulley. But with a 70T/72T rear pulley you would have to remove the belt guards anyway

When I removed the reflectors from mine I used dental floss. I also used the high E string from a guitar. Both worked just fine.

I love all of the chrome on the Rocker C, but a few things look dull if not changed. The shift linkage is one and the bolts are another.
