Default 1st Day Rocker Modifications

Just put 40 miles on new Rocker C today. More fun than I imagined. Cant wait to end breakin period to have some real fun. Started to rain, so back to the garage for first round of mods. Just the easy stuff first.

1. Install side mount license plate with light
2 . Install sissy bar medalion where plate was to be
3. Install Radio shack audio alarm

Real easy stuff. The side mount has a 10mm mounting hole that worked behind the belt guard screw. Ran wires up swing arm and under seat to make connections.[/align][/align][/align][/align][/align]Side mount license plate frame[/align]eBay Motors: Motorcycle License Plate side mount *** Universal *** (item 290225031368 end time May-22-08 19:06:37 PDT) [/align][/align]License plate frame with LED light[/align]

Wow very nice turbo!

That relocation of the license plate does it allot of justice brother.

Thx for posting the pictures.
