Custom Roc on e-bay

Post by **queenpdog** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 9:24 pm

First let me say that I am in no way affiliated with the seller of this bike. I'm just a lover of the R1150R and I enjoy seeing what others have done with them.

Now where's that drool emoticon? Enjoy!

It's nice, but I think I'd rather have a V-Rod

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

well except for the....

the "RADSTER" paint...(I mean like totally dude)

the PIAA's being way up over the helmet...(are these search beacons??)

the blazin R1150 "S" (no 1150S I'm aware of and this aint any S)

the blackened wheels against the silver rims (what cant make up your
mind???)

and what the hell is that silver thing under the binnacle?? (couldnt afford
to paint and pin
stripe this too??)

Other than that I'M BIDDING BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, okay...I could do without the "Radster" logo. And the aux lights are in an odd spot. Still, I think it's pretty cool.

Pinecone can have the V-rod -- I'll take the Radster baby!!

Actually the overall concept is pretty good, and most of the elements are things that a lot of us could do. (except for the exhaust) I've been thinking about doing my valve covers like that and the black drivetrain is nice. I think the painted logos detract from what is a clean execution of a simple, well designed idea.

I like it, many have de-greened their Rockster. Myself, I just removed the stripes. I would continue the decolorization if i was keeping her. But she's gonna be for sale.

That is one very pretty Rock

Anyone know if the PIAA mounts are custom or available on the market anywhere??

when I get another pair to augment the poor full-beam on the Rockster I'll be wanting to mount them in a similar position. (well, at that sort of height anyway, last time I drilled the headlamp mounting arm but would rather not have to do that if not necessary).

Instead of Rad..Ster it should say Wan..Ker..

...and what's with the R1150S..?...how could he not know it's an R1150R.

I love the rest.

It will be interesting to see what it sells for.
