what rockers are you refuring to?
The part at the front wheel that connects the frame fork to the suspension fork. As with most any moving part, the bearings in there require attention and/or adjustment. Looking at the 500 mile checkup on a Springer (since the springer has to be brought in at 500 miles during breakin):

"check and adjust springer rocker bearings".

If you don't want it and it's black, I'll take it.
