Half a Rocker
Well, I'm down to half of a Rocker. 
Got the back end all pulled apart. Powder coating the Oil tank, swing arm, and the speedo cup, gloss black.
A few weeks ago I did the front half but I forgot to take pics. Powder coated the lower forks and triple trees then.
It's taking some time (and money) to get it all done the way I want it but I'll get there one day!!
Really sux though, today is turning out to be a great day to ride and I can't!

I think you are talking about the engine areas. I'm not going to do much there... I am planning on powder coating the rockers black though. Actually, I will probably put RSD nostalgic black rocker box cover on it. Like I said... its all time and money.
I bought a chrome dash panel from DragonSlayer so I'm going to replace my gray one with his chrome one. However, the speedo cup is going to be black with the chrome trim at the top. I think it will look good (I hope).

Breaking the bolts loose from the shocks and the swing arm was a major PITA though. I'm going to have to invite the freakin hulk over to torque those babies back down.
P.S. I like your new sig!!! Bad **** apes you got there!

Its a bummer having the scoot inop but sounds like it will be definitely worth the wait. Went with RSD myself and will be installing once I get the parts in.

Gonna look good, I personally never liked the gray on the standard Rock. I think black PC on the engine covers; rocker boxes, timing cover, outer primary, transmission cover, etc. would look cool too.
