Default ** Black Rocker Finally Done **

It has been almost 4 months from beginning to end of this project. And it is finally done.

My bike was torn down with 140 miles on it, completely re powder coated and re assembled. New bearings and gaskets all around even though they were all brand new.

I took the license plate holder off and welded the holes in the fender and had it painted but then I found out about the heartland conversion kit. It's not so much the fender I didn't like it was my wifes passenger strut system. Just didn't do it for me. I added the side mounted license plate with a LED pod mounted to the top of it.

I bought chrome triple trees only to find out I liked them powder coated better. I bought a chrome headlight bucket only to realize I made another mistake and liked it better black. It's been a long drawn out process not to mention expensive but I am very happy with how everything turned out.



SO WITHOUT further adeu.... My Rocker in three stages. The albums are on the left side of the page, best viewed Grid style but requires Adobe Flash Player 9. Enjoy !

1.Rocker before ---Fresh out of the box all stock at the harley dealership

2.Rocker After --- Painted with the first fender and stock passenger setup and still grey fork sliders (for contrast later changed)

3.Rocker Heartland Conversion ---- Finished product !

And before anyone asks why didn't you just buy a night train ? I like the rocker better.
