Wow! Lot's of detail work. I like the oil tank chromed out. Mine has cracks running through it and I was thinking about going with a smoother tank, but yours looks cool and has me reconsidering.
I am curious to hear how it changes the feel of the bike while riding? Cornering clearance better or worse? I drag my bikes shiny parts all the time.

That's the way the MoCo should have made the Rockers look from the factory. Great job.

Hey El Gato Grande can you get a pic from the rear so I can see how the 260 looks. I have the heartland kit on my bike and have been thinking about going with the 260. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. The 21" front tire on the Rocker is a Metzler 120/70 - 21 M/C 62V TL and the rear is a 260/40 VR 18 M/C (84V) TL. The rear tire is riding on an 18x8.5" RC wheel and the front on a matching 21x3.5". The shop is closed today and tomorrow, but I'll get some pics of the rear on Tuesday. My biggest concern about the 260 is that they had to wire the turn signals on the outside of the fender which just kills the look because of how much space the 260 hogs up. They are going to work on a custom bracket and run them along the very top of the inside of the fender.
