I switched the parts over into the new Arlen Ness brake housings and installed them, with EBC HH pads, today... I like 'em, think they look much better then the black ones, and should look nice with the chrome wheels coming....I'll also be switching out the rear caliper bracket with the chrome one when I install the wheels....

Axle covers! U need axle covers. I bought my axles covers for rocker in top down products.
Thanks for mentioning Top Down Products! We have kits specifically designed for the Rocker front and rear axle setup as well as the the rear of a Breakout (front for Breakout is a universal HD Kit). Checkout the links, we have stylish Chrome and Contrast Cut covers as well as all metal Axle Spinners. Everything is nice CNC machined billet, high quality robust designs, build to last!
Could be just the thing to top off an awesome looking ride!

I did order the front covers from TDP because the HD site doesn't list a kit that fits the Rocker, but I got the HD covers for the rear. The HD comes with a new, smaller axle nut, so the caps can be the same size!! Most kits have a bigger cap for the large stock nut, and they look funny to me not matching on both sides, (I think TopDowns is also this style)... The HD (Surdyke $90) is also about $30 less than TopDowns........I'll be installing both with the new wheels. You do need to remove the axle to install the HD rear covers, but I'm doing that anyway...

Just a quick note regarding our Top Down Products Axle Covers and Spinners, both left and right side covers/spinners are exactly the same and interchangeable. The benefit of our kit is two fold, first our special axle locking insert for the right side is the same size as the left side stock hardware, therefore covers are exactly the same and interchangeable. Second, you only take 5 mins to install or remove for service. No axle removal required. Also, they are CNC machined billet aluminum...not a casting...made in the USA!

Does that mean with your kits the rear covers are both large, and the fronts are smaller, lower profile, and they don't match?? The HD rear covers are the same size/profile as "your" fronts, and match nicely!! I've already received your front covers and I do like the easy install and the quality look/feel!!!

I run their covers both sides are the same. And simple, which is just what I like.
OK, now I see, didn't know they were that style... I wanted round covers, so they match the front....Those would not have worked for me anyway, glad I went HD on the rear....Thanks skid..

OK, I guess I misunderstood. I thought you meant, same left to right and not front to back. Both our front and rear are the same diameter, but the rear is a bit longer than the front...which was what you were referring to. Sounds like you got the best setup for what you were looking for.
