Default Rocker Tire ?

I'm finally the proud owner of a Blue 08 Rocker C and am now in the market for new rubber. I've already decided on a 240 Elite 3 for the rear and wanted to run the mm90 on the front. I've searched around the forum a little and seen that the front fender might have to be notched for this tire. If this is the case I'll just go with a 100/90 ME880 up front. Is anybody running the mm90 with no issues?

you can fit an elite 250 on the back, I have a 120 on the front with a 21" bitchin wheel. Rich has fenders also. www.bitchinseats.com

Please describe how you mounted the LED light along the edge of the fender. That is AMAZING.

Nice bike rocker, but I'm looking to keep my stock rim and fender up front

when I CUT THE FENDER, I HAD A FLAT PIECE WELDED ON THE UNDERSIDE SO THE LED WILL MOUNT. I RAN THE WIRES THRU THE FACTORY RUBBER TRACK.

I think there's enough room to re-drill holes on the fender mount to raise it as needed

There is.
I'm running a 21" 2.15 Heartland Rocker Replica wheel under the stock fender re-drilled to clear.

I used flat stock stainless instead of washers to hide the slots I made to allow raising the fender height.

The Elite 3 MM90 will fit and looks great. It fills the gap between the tire and fender perfectly. I would go ahead and do the Elite 3 250 on the back it fills the gap better too.
