^^ +1 on that- anything you can do to show off the tire, wheel, pulley from all angles IMO looks a lot better. Just a thought what about having the fender end right at the top of the swingarm? so that way the side view of tire, wheel etc is totally open within the "V" portion of the swingarm.

I'll have to think about that one....pretty sure I want to chop the back of the fender.....trying to picture it with both ends chopped...or would you just do the front?? and the more I think about it, that would be more like the BO...I want to keep the basic Rocker look as much as possible, with these mods..

Looks great!!.... I'm curious about your front 21"x 3.5"..any trouble with the fit? is the hub width the same as the stock 19"x 2.15"?? I would like to run a wider front tire when I change to the 21"..

^^ yeh that Rocker of yours is begging for a 21" wheel. Usually if you go with a reputable brand like PM they will send the wheel with the appropriate matching spacers. others may too I just only have experience with PM.

I was thinking if the hubs a different size, I could use different spacers, but the rotor would not be in the same place, it would be out further, then what about the caliper, it wouldn't line up.. can't really move that??

Looks like I'll be going with a 70t pulley after all...I was hanging out at my local indy today, I like to go by every couple weeks and shoot the **** or bend his ear about mod plans..He had three bikes there now (one of them his) that have open belt drives primarys... after talking to him about it, I thought that would be a cool mod for the Rocker. I figure if I'm doing that, I might as well go to a 30t front pulley!! Get the full 13% increase and not have any clearance issues with the 72t.. Thinking I would do the work, I asked him about the install, how hard it would be, he said that if he did it, he would charge me 2 hours labor for the belt drive, and since he's in there, he would only charge me 30 minutes more labor to install the 30t!! He only charges $75 an hour, I like to wrench...but for under $200 bucks labor, I'll let him do the job!! Time to pick out a open belt drive kit!!

The hubs on both of my wheels are identical size as stock, I run chromed stock spacers. 21 looks perfect on a Rocker in my opinion, it just fits the factory rake like a glove.

EDIT: I looked at the ProCharger blower and it's way uglier than I remember. 59-70 more HP would be awesome, but not at the cost of looks.
