That gray does grow on you eventually, especially with the right paint colors. And I bet a Rocker with a 110, will make you forget all about everything for at least a little while

It's not too hard to paint a motor. I have the Rocker with all the grey (I was told they call it "blonde") and my local powder shop said they would do most of the bike including dis/assembly for about 1K. To paint the motor and grind the edges for a billet look I've gotten quotes anywhere between 2 and 4 hundred. then you're just left with some tranny pieces and rear fender modification, maybe some bars and you're set. I'm not too big on chrome so I went this route with the intention of modification. I saved roughly 5K rocker vs rocker C and will use the difference to mod.

Although I prefer my Rocker C, I've seen some very nice Rockers done.

Honestly I've only seen a couple Standard Rockers around on the streets, and all were mostly stock. But I know that gray looks good with light colors, and some blackened chrome. In my opinion anyways

I recall a really good amount of forum information on the Rocker back when I had my first one in '09. I don't know what happened to that forum but I got a LOT of information from it. This one is OK too. There just aren't that many Rockers out there I guess...

Something tells me you might be a one post wonder, but it looks to me to be a 21" wheel, looks to be the same size I have on mine. But it might be a 23" maybe. No idea on the brand though.

Yay! A three year old thread. That "Cherry" is sure a nice looking Rocker though.

Any one have a 100/90-19 front tyre on a Rocker C?
I'm struggling to find a stock replacement 90/90-19 (I'm in New Zealand), I wonder if the 100 will fit and what impact it will have on the ride.

It will handle slightly better, and be less likely to wander.
