I was looking at some of the other PhotoShopped Rockers in the "WTF... " thread and decided Id give it a go, so here is my version of a slightly modified SoftTail Rocker. IMHO with a few simple modifications this bike looks 100% better. My version has had the rear end lowered aprox 1 1/2 inches, has a set of Screaming Eagle II slip ons on it (or someother slash cut pipe)(trying to stay as HD as possible)(using parts you could buy at your local stealer), has had the rear fender bobbed, the front turn signals have been relocated to the forks, the rear turn signals have been moved forward ever so slightly and a second set of running lights/turn signals have been added to the swingarm, along with a side mount licence plate holder. All very minor modifications in the real world... but it makes it look soooooo much better. makes me wonder why Harley didn't do this in the first place... oh yea...I forgot... they want you to modify their products.:)
Anybody wanting to post your version, or just comment on this one, feel free!

I like it, expept for....
The lights on the swingarm can stay, the ones on the fender gotta go. I actually liked the lights mounted on the handle bar. The chopped rear fender looks sick. All it needs is a sidemount lic. plate and it'd be perfect (IMO)

I like it Sportyjoe, believe thats the Moco idea also [destruct and rebuild]. I'd bet the aftermarket by HD is already established

Actually I think If you were to cut a reverse "C" in the back of the seat, and form the rear of the seat plate at a slightly larger contour than then the fender (allowing some space for the fender to move up and down) undernieth the seat, then it might not be such a problem. granted it probably wouldn't give you a whole lot of travel but at least you would have some.. and the seat isnt fastened to the rear fender anyway...You simply cut a channel for the wheel to move up and down in... after all if you look at that stock seat, there is plenty of back to it... any thoughts on this?
