to each their own. Just ugly, and crappy to ride, imho. But, others like them. Good thing about MOCo: something for everyone, and lots of opportunity to make it your own

I the Rocker except for the deuce fuel tank. For a bike that had a lot of original look they kind of cheapened it with a fuel tank from a discontinued model. To each his own, but I think it would have been a real hit with a new custom fuel tank.

In short, for a bike that is supposed to be custom, don't use parts from a standard model.

Yeah, beauty is in the eye of the beholder for sure. Funny thing is, I wasn't too crazy about them until I joined these forums and saw some members rides. They're sharp when done right!
