Default Total custom 2008 Rocker almost finished

Well, about two months ago a friend of mine crashed my Rocker. So the insurance company said about $6700 would fix it back to stock. No said I! So I took the check and decided to fully customize the scooter. This is what it's looking like now. Tins are at paint getting done in flat black. Should have it back up and running in the next week or so. What do y'all think?

Other than I would have run the front fender closer to the tire, looking good so far.

Yeah, I ran that fender as close as I possibly could to the wheel. In fact, I had a bit of a rub problem and had to adjust just a little bit. Its the RWD Rambler fender. They said it's for a 19 but I'll bet money its for a 21.....bit of a disappointment.... but oh well. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Once its all done, I'll be posting pics the finished product.

Not a huge fan of the mini fairing but that looks pretty cool. Are you going to paint/p-coat the fork lowers black?

It's the Arlen Ness fairing. And I got the cobra II headlight. I was gonna paint the fork tubes and triple trees but I decided not to, I thought it might have been too much black and it may have looked cheesy.... I think leaving them gray, it makes the wheel pop a little more...
