Looks really good! Flows nicely with the seat! I had to raise the back of mine about 3/4" after raising the front 2"
The only thing I'd suggest changing would be the tank console. It looks like a big block sitting on there...... Beautiful bike tho!!

I am not normally a fan of the tank lift but I love the way you did it. That paint job is sick too. Nice Rocker.
