I do not see what you mean with Rocker cover. I have taken the oil tank from the rocker to replace the breakout one because I like it better. But I do not see which other part of the rocker you have in mind

Lovely, I notice with interest Thunderbike may have had an important part to play? I have a few bits and pieces on my Breakout from them! I bought a seat base from Thunderbike when I swapped out the rear fender and had my own made with the choice of material, stitching and filling.

^ They're certainly not cheap but what price do you place on quality? The rear fenders are solid bits of kit and some of them are TUV approved for pillion weight as well. The giveaway for me was the same huge conical washers under the bolts I have that hold the fender to the frame. I sprayed mine black to tone them down a bit!

Glad I got what I wanted before March 29th Brexit here we come.....maybe? apparently? perhaps?

Nice. You also changed the tank ?
Why not the same pattern on the oil tank as the rear fender ?
