Rocker
Here's a pic of it sitting in the garage waiting on the Heartland E-Z Rocker Conversion Kit.
Also waiting on the RSD Tracker 2 into 1 pipes, RSD air cleaner, & the tins are going to Attitude Custom for a make over. Thats the beginning....

Ole school... Overall you probably made the better choice. Once you get that Rocker "C" done, take it over to that Harley plant in PA and show them what a bike should look like. One question or comment I have on the stock Rocker "C" seat. The other day I saw a gal riding 2 up and had to do a double take. Not because she had little *****, but because it looked like the rider was standing up while actually sitting on the seat. Talk about high altitude and wind resistance. Cheers and Rock On

mulch63, I got cold feet with the Thunder Mountain. I ended up buying a RockerC.
I really enjoy buying a scooter and customizing it and making it "my own" if ya know what I mean. That was a really nice scooter, but there was not much you could do with it as far as customizing. Also wasn't to sure of that 300 and the 44* rake with the type of riding that I do. Nuff said.....

Im going to have to say go with the keystone, if u have never driven one u can not have any opinion about how it handles because there is no comparison to anything else out there, mainly because this is a soft tail style frame making it one of the smoother rides out there, and the new v-twin style motor does not shake like other older motors, making the ride that much more enjoyable, also i am speaking from personal experience because i own a 2006 keystone, and a 2006 blackhawk both from Thunder Mountain

those thunder mountain bikes price tags are WAY high. about $10k over the retail price of other choppers. with the AIH bikes going for half price now, it would be hard to justify the thunder mountain price tag.

Way to Rock
Hotrock, mann I was worried there for a minute, glad you and your rocker found eachother. considering your aptitude for creativity I see you have the perfect new black canvas to start with. Ha. The rocker is a fantastic opportunity to build yourself. Carefull though, Ive found alot o difficult fitment issues with catalog products. Im interested to see how the rsd tracker mounts up, Rsd, has one mounted on their shop rocker, but v&h say no fit. Lets see it mounted up bro.
