Default Rocker Summer Mods Begin

So unlike most of you who are out enjoying the summer weather, my life generally sucks during the summer. It was 113 degrees today. Riding in this weather is like a blast furnace and doesn't make for a comfortable ride… so let the summer mods begin. Still waiting for parts to show up, but I received my rims, grips and brake side forward control. Had to throw them out here for you all to see. All these parts have been powder coated with a wrinkle black coat. Lot's of parts still coming. I'll keep this post as my official build site and will post pics throughout. Stay tuned...

Brake and Grips




Rear with Pulley



21" front


7/8/10 DG Seat just showed up. check post #16

8/16/10 Tank lift, forward contols, rear rim. Post #34

8/21/10 Rear Fender chop, new A/C. Post #41

10/18/10 Done. Post #76 and new sig pic

I feel ya about the heat, but this time of year we have 100% chance of rain every day to go with the heat and when it stops it just bumps up the humidity from 95% to 99%.

Oh yea, dig the contrast cut you got going on.
