Cheers Jaxx
Pipes, seat and SE Air cleaner were done last year
This winter just bits:
Spike bolts for seat, Peaked headlight ring, Stilleto pegs, heal rests and grips, Arlen Ness Rad 3 mirrors, Chrome trims for oil tank and Grenade, Spike head seat bolts, Billet Flame shifter rod, RH swing arm Tilley bag, 3" forward control extensions, 2.5 inch tank lift, Front fender extension, Red SE plug leads, Chrome frame infills, Electronic combined oil level and temp dipstick.
As I said, just little bits that make a big difference
Thanks again

Have you thought of a mod to cover the seat bolt after you fitted your DG seat? I have plastic bolt covers from HD, just waiting to fit them.....I think they are used on the standard Rocker....let me know if you want the number. When the weather improves we need to get some photos of both bikes together at Dock Gate 20 and show our American friends that the Rocker C is alive and well in the UK. Well done again.
Hi Doug
The seat bolt covers used on the standard Rocker have to be cut & fitted with silicone I think. It's OK but a bit of a pain when you need to get to the battery. That's why I went for the Spikey bolts, I like things that are bolted to be bolted if you know what I mean.
Thanks again mate for the comments

Hi Gary,
Thanks for that and I know what you mean. I will scratch my head over that one. May have a crack at the tank lift this weekend, weather permitting. I missed your shifter rod when I looked at the photos, may need to take your lead there.....looking good!

Keep up the personalization until the bank account is empty.
Very nice, well struck mate.
