Thanks
i think what SD meant was he does not like "stock' Rockers...nor do i much which is why i did not buy one , but looking at some of the Rockers on here "Alains, Rubicons, Mikes etc i may have made a mistake....has any-body figured out what to do with that consol on the tank yet ?????

You are fine, just giving you a hard time bro . People don't generally like it when you come in and throw out that you can't stand their bikes , and then ask for help. Maybe just word it differently next time .

I am told that from all angles . Oh well, most of the time, people read chit different than you are thinking it when writing it. I get that all the time with the wife in emails. She will get pissed at something when I am just kidding around. I love that though .

LMAO.... I think the majority of women would fall in that category. They are a gentle, loving creature . We just generally don't give a chit, which is why we get along so well with others, we either like you, or we don't, and if we don't, we could care less.

Thanks for the complement, however you will find there are some really bada$$ Rockers on this forum. Mine is just starting to come along. And yes I'm slidin a little on the seat but it's really not as bad as you would think. You kind of learn how not to slide so much. That probably doesn't make much sense but it's true.

Thanks! I wouldn't necessarily consider my bars Apes, maybe mini apes at best. m i k e is putting on some real apes on his rock. He has a few pics of the "work-in-progress" and it looks like its going to be kicka$$, can't wait to see it once he is done.

Sorry I'm not very good at posting pics but here's mine with 16" apes. Though technically it's not a rocker anymore.
