Hey Drew. Yeah I was telling him to do it for a while now. Thanks for making it happen. A couple months back I helped him with a booth at a motorcycle rally and he has been doing builds like crazy ever since. He has unreal talent and I'm proud of him and honored to have him as a close friend. You need to come to the islands to check his work out.

1- How's the handling?

3- how did you end up having that much space between your top tree and the front of your gas tank. I had to shave my dash down so that it wouldn't rub on the top triple tree.

Thanks bro.
The only handling I don't like is when I'm going super super slow( like rolling on idle) it has a little and I mean little front flip feeling. Other than that I took it up to about 95mph the other night and stayed at that speed for a while. All was fine.
No bottoming out with the shorter forks.
As for the tank we slotted the rear mount as much as we could and slid the tank back and used a 1.5" tank lift. On full lock out the right side touches just a hair. Gonna work on a fix for that later. Also gonna cut the rear hub just a little to give more clearance for the belt and swing arm.

JoJo, gotta say your Rocker has got to be the most f'in bad azz Rocker I've seen (except for mine LOL), definitely one of a kind. It has come a long way over the years.

What's your next mod? Big bore? Grip switches?
