Hi guys,

New to these kind of bikes so be gentle. Just like to show you some pictures of my Rocker FXCW when i brought it in March 2010 and to where it is now. Wished i,d got into these bikes years ago. Everything on the bike with the exception of the wheels has either been repainted or chromed. Quick question, i have a tank lift to put on but this makes the tank very unstable, did any of you guys have to cut it down to say 1.5 inches?

Welcome to the forum from NW Mississippi!

That's some beautiful work you've had done.

As you have discovered, not all tank lifts are created equal!

We have 1.5", 2", 2.5" and 3" lift kits for your bike, and they are all rock solid.

welcome !

why is the tank lift making your tank unstable? I have a 3 inch lift on my rocker and it's as solid as a rock.

i do like the cut on your fender, did you do it yourself?

Nice mods on your bike, I like how you cut your rear fender.
What do you think of a shorter front fender?

What have you done with your wheels, on these pics they look like chromed?

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the great comments on the bike. The rear fender was cut by a local customizing shop. He,d never done one before and when he saw how good it came out said he had,nt charged me enough . As regards the paint and chroming. All the grey powder coated parts were done locally(some pretty good craftsmen in the West Midlands,England) except for the wheels which were brought from harley mirror chromed and they really are the dog,s for the money.
