If your talking about my bike sure do. I am dragonslayer08's son by the way.

Here is a photo of my dads and my bike on the Cherohala skyway in the smokies.


If you wish to see more of the sprung Wide Glide I have 2 albums with pics. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/membe...kies-trip.html and https://www.hdforums.com/forum/membe...wideglide.html

The Rocker will look sweet with a springer. My WG has 34 deg of rake at neck, I believe the Rocker is 36 deg, so it will look more stretched then mine. I have no added rake or offset.

I just installed this springer on my '06 Train. I powdered the rear tubes in gloss black and the front tubes in wrinkle black to match the engine.





I did the Heartland kit too.....

Most companies will tell you not to install raked springers until you cross the 45* rake on the neck. You still have to consider rake and trail with a springer. It's just calculated different.

The springer will look very nice on the rocker! Good luck with it!

Wow Man4Mopar, that thing looks raked out. I guess it's just because of the way the wheel sticks out more on the springer front end. Very nice bike too by the way.
