Default Rocker Tank

Hello, new here to the site.

I've got a bag load of stupid questions and no Nomex fire resistant suit so try to go somewhat easy on me please. Thanks

Was wondering if:
You could take the center chrome trim from a deuce (order part) and swap it with the one on the rocker, as they are the same tanks?
Is the rake for the forks on most harleys the same or do they all differ ? ( ie dyna WD as compared to a softail, Deuce or Rocker).
Does anyone make a fender for the Rocker that is similar to the ones on the V-Rod muscle or the 883 iron with the LED's build in and under the curve of the fender?

Thanks again, Murray

Don't have an answer for the tank question, but interested in an answer. I haven't heard of anyone trying it.

Rocker has more rake than others, if looking for different trees try Rich at Bitchin seat company.

There are different fender options out there. Heartland kit ( you will need air suspension to make it work best), they have an LED option in their struts, cut stock fender & put LED's under the lip like I did or get LED's for the stock signals. You will have to relocate plate to the side.

There are so many theds out there to search. The Rocker guys are extremely helpful on this site as you will soon find out.

Good luck with your mods, keep questions coming (as no question is a dumb question). Also send pics as you go.

Deuce dash will fit fine but you have to do more than a straight swap.. You need to change speedo, plug ends on wiring harness, decide what to do with ignition switch, etc
