It's a guard for the pipes. The bike can go all the way down on the right side without the pipes touching the ground.
The Rocker was the first bike my wife rode after the introductory class, and basically what she learned on, so I did a couple of things to minimize damage in case she laid it down while she was learning. I've offered to take the guard off several times since then, but she's opted for leaving it on there. (She'd be in tears if the bike got banged up).
I bet you do! When my wife and I are riding together, with her on the Rocker, she gets all the honks, thumbs-ups, hollers etc.
I might as well be invisible. LOL
Oh, she rides with a pink jacket and a helmet with lots more pretty colored flowers on it now.

Valerie has a very nice Low Rider but when she rode it with me she felt invisible.

RockerZ and HD100, superb looking bikes. Lots of people don't seem to get what low bars can do for the appearance of a scoot.
I would have done it already on my wife's Rocker, but she is comfortable with the stock bars, and already has a bit of a forward lean (danged handy for resisting wind pressure at freeway speeds, without needing to hang on for dear life). She also has less reach than I do, and I think the stock risers on the Rocker are a really impressive work of art. Aftermarket, you'd probably need to pay 500 to a thousand bucks for something like those stock risers.
On our other bike, (a Wideglide, which I mostly ride because the wife won't get off the danged Rocker), I've got bars that are as low as they can go without the throttle cables hitting the fuel tank.
The guy who posts here under "Alain", has clipons on his Rocker, probably lower and more forward than I can manage at my age. But dang, that's a cool lookin' bike!
