Pair of dykes works wonders. I love the leather lever covers on mine. But the tassels had to go on the last scooter. 2 seconds, it was done.

Nice Rocker! I like the flush mount caps on the tank...and I'm actually warming up to the bike, especially now that some of their owners are adding their own personal touch.

The bike looks great. +1 for the Heartland kit. It fixes the problem on the Deuce (space between the tire and fender) and the problem on the rocker (space between the fender and seat). It essentially makes the Rocker what it should have been - a Deuce with a wide tire kit without the space.

Go to Wal-mart and look at the kids bikes and take note of which bicycles feature Tassles.
SDEUCET, Went to Wal-Mart as you suggested. Here's one of the bikes I found. I told you it looked bad a$$! It even has the Rocker passenger seat.

Damn, so thats where Harley got the idea. Who'd of thunk it?

Bike looks good for the most part. I'd lose the tassles like so many others have said. The Rocker is supposed to have a pro-street look to it. The tassles don't go with that look. I think they look cool on the right bike, but the Rocker is not the right bike. In regards to comment about the tank lift making the bars look to low, I think a pro-street style bike should have low bars. The overall appearance of the bike is supposed to be long and low. Others have made some good suggestions to help the bike along as well. I'm sure the people here could spend your money pretty quick. All of this, of course, is my opinion.

Yeah, that's my problem also. Many people suggested the tank lift, but you can't do it without relocating the signals. I was thinking about trying to relocate them to just above thefork cross bar vice below so less of the wires will be exposed.
