Smile rocker std.
Don't you think the Rocker std.would look a lot better if instead of that grey color that H.D. puts on the engine cases and stuff they would do them black. Is that gray stuff powder coat or what?I don't see anyone putting that gray stuff on their bikes but a lot of people are going to black and it looks great. I just think the MoCo would sell more of this not so popular model if they were blacked.

That's funny ... cause the a dealer here in Nashville said they can't get rid of the ones they got...and that they wouldn't be ordering anymore unless by request.

Needles to say ....didn't make me feel very good!

I agree. That's the only thing that I don't like about my bike. If all the grey parts on my bike were black instead, I think it would look pretty good.

The grey and the buddy seat made my mind up.I think I know every HD rider in my home town of 27,000 and there is only one rocker.I think a blacked out model would be a good seller and I don't think it would cost any more to build.

I just added an engine guard and removed the luggage rack, with the warmer weather I use a backpack. New Pictures to be posted soon.
