Rocker C. Bobber... FIXed how it should be! Update again..
Ok. I saw yet another thread about the Rocker, this time about about Heartland's new Bobber Kit. So I added the Heartland Bobber kit to my virtual Rocker C project bike. Previous work was done after reading other threads. I think it's neat to see the progression. Who think Apes would look good on this bike? I'm not sure it would.
After reading the threads "Rocker C pics... at dealer... first impression" and "Rocker-What Would You Change?" I put together this pic of what I think the stock Rocker C should have looked like.
• Relocated license plate
• Lower narrower solo seat
• Raised curved tank
• Smooth painted oil tank
Let me know what you think:
With V&H Big Radius and Larger Headlight
Added Heartland Stage II Rock-N-Bobber Kit

Now you're getting there. Nice "Mods" on what should be the stock look of the Rocker.
The other thing that looks out of place, or an after-thought, is the way the speedo sits on that smaller-diameter mount. I think it would look much better if the speedo was the same diameter as the mount it sits on.
Once that bike rolls home, a nice set of Big Radius V&H would look excellent.
Thanks for the new look!

Looks better. Just whoever sits on it would have to be extremely light considering the fender is attached to the swingarm and the amount of seat/fender space. Hence the huge gap on the stock model.
