Default Rocker w/sissy bar

Thanks to michapop for the sissy bar idea.

Painted for now, might consider chrome during the winter months. Lots of utility with this thing.

Thanks for the comments....I will probably leave it blue. The swingarm was drilled into maybe half way and screwserts were used...some type of cap with a flange thing in it with teeth. The guy is going to start selling these as a kit for rockers with different center pieces in it (maltese cross or whatever the idea is). Michapop's sissy was the inspiration however, couldnt go with the same fab because he has a heartland and I got some custom fender thing going on. Oh and he will also be selling the fender as a bolt on replacement.

Looks good Rocket. Is that your stock fender bobbed? How much did you lower your bike to hug the tire like that? Do you change the fender mount? Would you mind taking a few close ups of how your seat and fender is mounted from a few angles?

The fab guy used my stock loop mounting pieces but other than that the whole fender is rolled from sheet metal then reinforced about 1/2" thick in the middle and all the way down to the lower bracket. If you look closely their is no crease on the sides of the fender. This allows me to carry up to 300lbs of some beefy weight ha ha. No lowering done to my ride. I will need to take those pics of the seat bracket which was also fabricated.....I will shoot you a pm with them.
