Talking Newbie rocker Build- Day one.
Hey all,

After two weeks, the parts have started to arrive.
I bought a 2008 Rocker that has been laid down. Mild bar, front end, tank damage. Good news is it already had the heartland kit.

New tanks (E-bay) are heading for some custom badges before I mount them. Headlight was busted so I got a Fat Bob dual set-up. Doesn't look great on the narrow front end right now, but HHI is building my black wide glide as we speak. Black spokes, controls, and chubby drags are coming next.

Today, Bassani Road Rage exhaust. Sounds nice.

Thanks to all of the custom Rocker guys that have responded to my PM's. This is my first custom.

More updates to come.
