Everything to me looks real good, with one exception. With the shortened rear fender, it makes the front end look off balance. Maybe a smaller fuel tank. Maybe it's just me. But, the whole rear end of the bike looks like a chopper. But, from the front of the seat, it looks like a stock Rocker.

The front end isn't lowered. Actually, it should be about an inch higher since I replaced the stock 19" wheel with a 21" wheel.


Thanks everyone for the great feedback!

That´s definitely one of the greatest rockers I have ever seen!

I´d like to know what handlebar you have there...?

Thanks!

HDWheels is where I got my wheels and it looks like from that pic you included they used the leftover powder from when they made my wheels.

I sure don't remember seeing those spoke pulleys back when I was ordering my wheels. Must be something new that they offer.

Thanks Norago! The bars are 12" Fatty Z bars from Debrix Cycles.
