Default Rocker C Project
Well, the bike is finally on the ground. Even though there is plenty of work to be done. I removed the front horn and relocated it. Can you see it? In these pics you can see that the bike is slammed with air ride, the wheels, 103 custom stroker motor, new fork and handle bar. Metal is out for paint. Let me know what you think! Thanks.

I like the Rocker with the exception of the seat. Will you be changing the seat to eliminate that hugh space between the seat and fender?

Yep. The Rocker seat was ordered and will be heavily modified as to drop the seat height lower, provide a lower profile and more comfort.

Well the horn is where the evaporative canister use to reside. The air ride installation required the air canister to be removed first. I never like the horn, so instead of reinstalling something that really doesn't work, I decided to drill the canister bracket and mount the horn in its place. I don't how much horn will come through with the V & H pipes blaring and it being trapped between the rear tire and the rest of the frame, but hey, its pointed to the ground and it will be semi legal. Did someone say, chin spoiler?

Mike no problemo. I will post a full list of parts and modifications to them installed. Most of the parts needed to be modified with either other standard parts or piece milled from billet.
