Thanks Mike, you crack me up!!! I actually bought a set of black Breakout wheels on ebay with rotors and bearings. I'm in the process of building another black rocker the same way but blacking it out and putting a 120R in it. It's going to be a little bit before I finish it though. I have to give my wife time to recover from everything I spent on this one!!!lol

Yes, it uses all the same bearings in the neck, I used my same fork sliders because the Breakout has a new part number for the left slider, so I wasn't sure if there was something different about the brake mounting brackets. It was about $440 for everything above the sliders and about $465 for the trees. That is prices from http://www.shopronniesharleydavidson.com/ not the Harley dealer.

The CVO wheels would look very nice blacked out.

Red might be faster (MIKE), but we all know black is sexier

Will the Breakout wheel and tire fit between the Rocker forks, or is it necessary to go with the wider front end?

Default Nice Bike!

Some really nice looking bikes and original ideas being done here! (although the Factory has been taking the forks, fenders or rear ends off one bike putting them on another and calling it a whole new model for years, so perhaps you should be giving your bikes new names!)

You have to go with wider front end, the Breakout wheel is 3.5" wide and the Rocker front wheel is 2.15" wide. Thanks for all the compliments on my bike, I am proud of how it turned out.

FYI- I just found out the Rocker left fork slider will not work with Breakout axle, I had to purchase a Breakout left slider part#45500148, to make everything work.
One last shot to my wallet before completion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol
