Default Rocker Springer???
Anybody seen a Rocker that has been converted to a Springer?? I was thinking of that being one of my winter projects but not sure how it would look. My idea was was to put the springer frontend on it and spokes(black rim and Stainless spokes) What do ya'll think?? Honest opinions welcomed!

I think that would look bad ***!! This may go without saying, but I'd do the back rim the same. What kind of bars would you use?

I am going to be putting an American Suspensions DragonSlayer Springer Fork, Rocker Triple Tress, and fender support on this winter. AustinHarley referred to my thread above.

Won't be able to start until sometime in February, when my son returns from Antarctica. He is going to help me put it on as he has already put the same fork on his 2007 Wide Glide. Will post pictures once we start the work.

I have also decided to put new bars on at that time it will be the bars below (1st pic) with 10" to 12" rise and the inserts in pic 2 circled in blue. Of course I could change my mind about these between now and February, but I am pretty sure.

Oh yea i'm really liking the springer now!! If I decide to do it this year I will start around Dec. Just got to decide if I want to have the motor built by G2 Motorsports(Star Racing) or Springerize it???

Ah!! So much time and so little money!
