Default My transformation of a salvage Rocker C

Ok guys, I have been promising pics for a while. I planned on taking the Rocker on its maiden voyage today but nature just decided to sh*t 6 inches of snow on us.

So here is a couple of cramped up pics of it in my garage for now. I am busy doing a resto and a bunch of mods to my 94 Hummer H1 as well so my garage is pretty cramped. I started this project last January from a wrecked Rocker C. I decided with all the other projects I have going, I didn't want to buy a perfectly good Rocker C with good parts and start taking them off to put on the parts I really wanted. So I waited and watched and found exactly what I was looking for. A salvage one with no frame or fork damage, all cosmetic damage and pretty much all things I would have wanted to replace.

I have my mods listed in my sig so I won't bother listing them again here. I am almost complete. I ordered my Roto Plate yesterday from Top Down, I will have an order in with DrVTwin by the end of the week for a TTS Mastertune, and I still need to finish relocating the rear turn signals closer to the seat on the rear fender.

Once again, sorry for the sh*tty pics, I will post better ones later in the week when the snow has taken care of this crap.

Thanks to Joe What and a bunch of other Rocker owners on here for all their help along the way....

Thanks guys. For anyone considering Carlini 9" Clean Sweeps, they will work with a 2" tank lift but just barely. I have an 1/8th inch in clearance between my bars and my tank after my lift when its on its jiffy stand.
