you are a brave man for bitting the bullet and being the first to put this on your bike. can't wait man !!!!
Hey Alain, I can't wait either. Really think it will add to the looks and the appeal of the Rocker. Have you worked out the problem with the chrome and your wheels?

It would look really goo on your bike. You may want to check out the other springers they offer on Bike Builder's Bible.
So, it will work with the stock Rocker spacers? What degree trees are you going with? Are you going to add to the rake?

That springer would look sick on your ride too man. Would really set off your old school look.

I can get you one when I get home from work. It's a Saddlemen Tattoo seat and I got it from Dennis Kirk. It is leather and has the biker gel in it also. VERY comfy seat and worth the money for sure. It also still looks good on the bike, which I thought I would have to give up by going away from the LePera. It did move me up a little though, which I DO miss about the LePera.

Is your seat the Saddlemen Tattoo Leather Seat w/Orange Stitch? I think it looks good also.

im just gonna ride the bike this season man. i'm not gonna worry about the chrome until the winter comes. i refused to have the bike up on the lift for all the time it's gonna take to get this wheel shipped to them and then have those ****ers ship it back to me.

I am going to stay with the rake of the Rocker, and they have developed triple tree for the Rocker. Once the Springer is on, the front wheel will be forward of its present position. Here is a picture of my sons bike with it on:
