I like the Gray but 2 reasons I was thinking going black was that the Exile pipes leave residue on the swing arm which cleans up easy with spray 9 but I have to do that after each ride, the other reason is the Gray wheels will stand out a little more.
The reason not to do it is that I want to stay true to the FXCW theme as mine is one of only 39 Rockers were made in 2009 for Canada in black (not the vivid) & Gray.
Most people don't like the Gray, but that is one of the reasons I like it, everyone blacks out everything or all chrome.

Yup I like rolling up on leaves and trash by a curb...twist the throttle a little( A LOT LOL)...and listen to the sweet sound of everyone bitching at me! LMFAO!
That's why I like the gray

I would go black. IMO a Softail frame and swingarm should be the same color, to imitate the rigid frame look.
But thats it, the rest of your rocker is perfectly balanced.

Call rich and ask about the seat issue, that would be the best bet.
As for the tire, are you still using the stock 240?...if so throw a Metz 260 on there and that will take up some under fender space. I think Rockerz runs a Elite 250. Hit him up to see how much space that tire takes up compared to the stock 240

Is this the tire you are talking about Jo? and what do you guys think about the front wheel size? Im going to get the bitchin replica but cant decide what size. My normal thought process tells me that bigger is always better but Im wondering if the 26" is gonna be a bit too much.
Yup that's the 260
I'm in the same boat as you with the front. I got a 21 now but.......... Lol

hey rockerz, any advice on the fender chop? any measurements? Ive looked at a lot of pics here of fender chops and some look good and some are a bit short for me. Also, what size tail light did you go with? I think ive talked myself into the 26" front wheel but I havent checked on the cost of raking it out and whatever else ill have to change with it. I know it cant be cheap!
