Mods finally done, Time to ride!!!
Things always cost more an take longer than you plan but my bike is home again after winter mods. She got Progressive 420 shocks to improve the ride, Diamondback cables and chrome front caliper. Rear fender was shaved and holes from the license plate filled in. Alligator Bob made a one of a kind custom seat using hornback crock, buffalo, and Italian leathers. He took the Rocker C seat and modified the pan to create a nice dish in the seat and installed a Pro Pad. Rear axle covers were painted and she got a new Heartland front fender painted to match. The pictures also show HD's new chrome rack available for the Rocker C now.
Along with the shocks I changed out the stock Rocker bump stop for the standard softail stop. The bike rides great but I have tooo much swing arm travel now, the fender kisses the bottom of the rack. Plan is to shim out that bump stop 1/4 inch and maybe add a little preload. She has an appointment with the Dent Doctor this week.

Looks good Windeed, dig the seat and the painted axle covers, sounds like your getting on top of the progressive thing. I've enjoyed watching the changes. What happened to the highway bar?
