2009 Harley Davidson Rocker FXCW

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Make a cool unique one of a kind ride that suits my style & turns heads

 

What motivated you to start your project?

Built many machines & when I saw the Rocker when it was 1st introduced I could see the potential it had to become a sick ride.

 

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Back when introduced there was the Heartland kit, but I didn’t want to be same as everyone else. I chopped tear fender with LED light bar, side plate, wanted to keep the original Harley intent but improve so I had a set of billet replica wheels made wider in rear to accommodate a 250 with 21” up front, also with matching rotors & sprocket powder coated in factory grey. Custom Bitchin Seats seat. Wanted a wide glide, but no one made at the time for the Rocker. Had Rooster cycles make one with 4.5* rake, bike lowered 2”, exile cycles shotgun pipes that had to make fit as not made for a Rocker, cut & staggered them, Dakota digital speedo, exile mad max bars with 1/2” rise so tight to the trees. Forward controls, grips, heartland LED mirrors, woods 555 cams with Dynojet tunes. Last fall finally powder coated all of the Harley mismatched grey coating on many parts so flows together nicely. LED lighting all around. Probably missing some other items.

 

What are you most proud of?

I built it myself from a vision I had. Unique, rare (one of 39 FXCW in Canada with just black paint).

 

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Wow, thousand questions, ask to take pics of it. Harley dealer owner in town said one of nicest cleanest bikes he’s seen.
