Default Standard Rocker = butt ugly

Man, that light "plastic" looking gray really makes the standard Rocker look cheap. Do you think they will ever change that? Aluminum or black even! IMO a glossy black would look ten times better. Can anyone photoshop a rocker with gloss black instead of the gray?

look up the heartland rocker in this forum - it's got that and looks sweet, although I agree with you on the stock look.

Agreed! Wrinkle black looks much better.

I like the premise of the Rocker... just needs a personal touch...

btw: what are you riding? I checked your profile, but it didn't list anything.

I have one coming in black denim. I think that the grey against the denim looks better but have yet to see. If it looks ****ty it will be getting repainted at some point.

Agreed. Not pleasing to the eye. It does make you wonder why they didn't go for the black though.

I also agree in regards to one totally stock although with the right touch it could look sweet; after you drop about $8,000 on it...lol.
