Been lurkin around for a while now and decided to post a couple of pics of my "Club Rocker" as well.. Had it for a little over a month now and I'm still lovin it.. Went with the straight Rocker cuz I wanted that industrial look and not all the chrome.. Been about 15 yrs since I owned a scooter... Last one I built using a 61 low rider frame and an 82 shovel head.. I loved it but livin in ATL was a death ride so I sold it.. Then came a move, a marriage, kids and then a divorce... Now I got a new Rocker and I'm LOVIN it.. MOCO finally made something in this Rocker that was exactly what I was really wanting.. The pics below are after I installed the pillion rack.. Got the tour package 2 up seat also but skipped the windshield.. Got the seat so I can take the kids for a ride and the rack works well for strapping my laptop and work crap so I can ride without a parachute on my back.. Come Friday evening though it all comes off and I have just the solo seat on.. This bike was meant to be a solo ride in order to keep the look although the pillion does look a lot better in person than in pics.. Anyway, like a lot of others, I've got the V&H 2-1 Big Shots installed along with the SE Heavy Breather, relocated the plate to the swing arm, smoke front signal lenses, Kuryakyn switch blade front pegs.. GOt Willie G tear drop mirrors, fork bag, diamond plate shift peg and brake pad on the way.. I think that willa bout do it for now..

So glad I wasnt stuck with another Harley, (you usually lose on a trade in) at the time the news of the rocker was coming out. I would have been so jealous of ya'lls bikes. Thats a beautiful rocker, Rail!

what mounting bracket did you use for the licence plate i really like that... and for the scull on the fender i think i might do that too just to join the club lol. i was also thinking of trying to get the european version break light that goes on the fender and having three break lights but still thinking that one...

really like the smoked turn signals i think thats next..
really nice bike you did good

Wicked ride. Looks great, the pillion rack would really come in handy on my C. I think there may be some options for the C pillion coming out. Enjoy.

Congrats Rail, on the new scooter.
I've liked the medallion idea ever since Turbo3pt3 first posted it. Very creative.
I'll be in the waiting room lighting up a cigar in honor of two very saweet newborn bikes.

LED Frame... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Motorcycle-Parts-Accessories__LED-HORIZONTAL-MOTORCYCLE-BLACK-LICENSE-PLATE-FRAME_W0QQitemZ110254043396QQadnZMotorcycleQ20PartsQ20Q26Q20AccessoriesQQadiZ2863QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110254043396&

Mount bracket... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290225031368&ih=019&category=34284

The LED frame comes with plenty of wire to run up to the wiring under the seat and tie it in to a hot wire... I then grounded it to the battery.. Pretty easy and took about .5 hr... As for the smoke lenses, the Harley kit is meant for a bike that has amber signals in back as well and isn't set up for the Rocker since it uses the back signals as running and brake lights as well so I just installed them in front and have 2 spare lenses if something happens.. I got my for 50% off from my dealer so I wasn't out anymore than if I had bought them on Ebay and actually saved since I didn't have to pay shipping..

Thanks bro.. I was really hoping you'd be cool with it.. I honestly raked my brain for about 3 weeks tryign to decide what I could put there and then I saw you post.. Figured since there isn't another Rocker within 50 miles of me I could pull it off... lol

Yea I have.. Also thought about having Jet Hot ceraminc coat the pipes in matte black and then powder coating the breather intake as well as swing-arm, triple tree, headlamp and risers.. I think those will be winter projects though...

There's small acorn nut for the belt guard down there.. You can't miss it.. Pull it off, put the mount plate on and then put a little red loc-tite on the threads then reinstall the nut.. Very simple.. Wiring the LED is a little trickier..
