Default 08 Rocker mods done for now

Here are some pictures of my 08 Rocker and the list of things that I have done so far. Remember this was a FXCW not the C.
Chrome engine kit
Chrome front end and new head light and blinkers
New front fender
Chrome hand controls and braided lines
Chrome swing arm and license plate mount
Painted rear blinkers, oil tank, front fender, and pillion seat posts vivid black to match bike
Hooker troublemaker pipes
Removed powder coating from wheels and polished them
Lowered the rear end

Things I still want to do.
Put on new bars
Add a heavy breather
Rigid mout a new rear fender to change the passenger set up (my wife loves to ride)

looks good. I have a question for ya. Has your lady ever ridden on the passenger pillion? If so how far above you does she set and does she like it? My wife who is a veteran passenger and rider herself always just shakes her head and says hell no! I think that the small sissy bar would help that you installed.

Greetings,

Looks good, but yeah, the Rocker isn't a 2 up bike unless you do the Heartland kit.
