By the way, my Rocker already has a couple of things added to it.

She has a Screaming Eagle II exhaust and a seat from Danny Gray Both of which were on the bike when I got it.

The one thing I've done myself, so far, is added a side hanging numberplate holder. There was one already on the bike when I got it but it was a US spec, very small, and I didn't want to get a tug by the local plod so I took it off. The one I have now really is a nice bit of kit. It's a bit on the big side for my liking but even so it really does look the part for the bike. I got it from a German company called W&W Cycles. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? I think so. I'm really going to have to get some photos taken.

It's not much, but it's a start and I'm planning on keeping hold of this bike for a long time so I'm not in the greatest of hurries.

I've also replaced the horn for something that can actually be heard. But I do that with any bike I own. You need it over here!

All the best.

have a set of rear chrome wheel spacer for FXCW (still unopened) for sale (bought 2 sets, in case of) and for the front it took me 6 months to find a set (which i put today on the bike)

as said before FXCW genuine HD parts are scarce to source... good luck

I like all types of motorcycles and can't imagine having at least one jap bike at all times (my commuter). Re: my Rocker, I created a couple of web pages with video and a photo album at http://www.lulays.com/harley. The second page includes a breakdown of parts, cost, and installation.

**** DUDE! That's a cracking looking Rocker! The changes are quite subtle but the overall look is fantastic. Beautiful bike, congrats mate. Something for me to aspire too. Great website to go along with it too, I'm off to have a read...

I love that trimmed rear mudguard!

WOW…great looking bike….LAZ

Welcome to the family ARCANUM… I'm also a new HD Rocker Owner…but I really like the looks of it and also the fact that most of the places that I go to I don't find many Rockers… this is a great forum to get ideas and help...

Welcome to the Rocker Club. Have fun modding it. Honestly with the rocker the sky's the limit man. Great platform to start a sick ride.
