Just stumbled across this thread today. Damn, that looks sick. Forget what the haters want to say. Who wants to ride what everyone else has or likes anyways! I like bikes period... I like and ride all bikes with a range of 16's to wheels as big as whatever the bike has on that is in front of me. I like them all! Each bring a unique and specific riding experience.
Also, HHI are pretty top notch. I trust what those guys do and are about as far as the rake and trail. That's one of the baddest Rockers for sure! Good job.
Looks good. Does your front wheel use Rocker hubs and the HHI axle spacers / brake disc spacer that comes in the triple tree conversion kit? Or are they Breakout (or something else) hubs? If it uses a wider hub,what did you use for axle spacers?

I just ordered a normal softail hub. I wanted to center the front wheel so we had custom spacers made for the caliper and axle. I was at work when my homie did this so I'm not sure on the sizes. The HHI trees didn't come with an axle but I was able to contact the guy that made my flush mount axle for my stock setup and he hooked me up with a rocker wide glide axle that I could reuse my flush mount ends. HHI sells an axle kit but it's made for the stock rocker hub, so the spacers are useless if you use anything other than the rocker hub size.
Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm waiting for a couple odds and ends to come in so we can attack the rear. I'm also thinking I want a daymaker light too...ITS NEVER ENDING I SWEAR LOL

Thanks brother... here's a pic. Did internals on the bars and had a local custom painter match up the paint and grind down to metal on base of bars and candy in the flames. It's pretty unique. thanks.
Looking forward to the finish look on yours. Sweet!
