Stuart Jones "Rockin Rocker"

Here we have a very special FXCWC Rocker owned by Stuart Jones, it has a 2" lowering kit and Heartland rear fender that has been customised to fit a very slick 10" LED run stop turn signal tail light which looks like it is hidden underneath the fender we have also used the Heartland side mount plate and tag light which is mounted on the rear passenger foot peg bolt and belt guard bracket respectively. It has a 2" tank lift that is complemented by flush mount caps and the mirrors have the turn signals built into them to tidy the front end
up.The bike looks and sounds awesome due to the pre fitted stage 1 with V&H big radius pipes

road test blog

Ok so this last week or so I have had the pleasure of riding three bikes I wouldn’t normally have ridden, it started with the XR1200X and I have to say this is one awesome motorcycle it reminded me of a supermoto I had once upon a time with a short gear box and a very punchy motor, as soon as I pulled out of the shop it felt comfortable with a moto x style seat and footpeg arrangement nipping between traffic when coming to traffic lights was a doddle due to the narrow bars and being able to see ahead of you, pulling onto the bypass and opening the throttle brings another joy the air box growl is just terrific and it makes you want to stay in low gears just to hear it more, overtaking is a breeze the engine pulls well but obliviously this is a bike you can have a lot of on under 100mph when it came to the twisty bits this bike can handle that too due to the showa suspension and brembo brakes, reading the digital speedo is clear and the rev gauge is functional but feel the gear indicator would be of use as I found myself looking for the non existing 6th gear, I have to say by the time I got home I still had a smile my face and looked forward to riding it again in the morning if you haven’t considered a XR1200X before I suggest you ride one because its bloody good fun!!





 
 
 
 
 
Next up was the all new Harley Davidson Blackine, now I am a fond lover of anything that feels aggressive "a la" fat bob/night train" or even my old sporty, with drag bars and the forward controls this bike fits me perfectly and I really enjoyed riding it, it is the perfect compromise between Dyna and Softail as you can really ride this thing without it being too bulky like a Fat boy/Heritage or Deluxe as like all the softails it has a counterbalanced engine so feels lovely and smooth thro all 6 gears the bike certainly looks the business with a nice balance of black on chrome and with the LED stop run tail lights the back end looks cool but I would be tempted to fit a side mount license plate just to tidy it up a bit, overall this bike does everything well it handles well goes well also with the 1584 twin cam engine and the brakes do a sufficient job especially now with ABS being standard on all 2011 Softails so if you want a bike that can be ridden and look good try the new Harley Davidson Blackline and I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

De-lux

So our latest creation to crawl out of the Norwich Harley Davidson design center is this very cool 2011 deluxe, it features a 200 world wide limited edition psycobilly paint set straight from milwaukee in a rather tasty denim brown with red and black pin striping, a Harley Davidson sprung seat unit in black which complements the swing arm mounted black leather saddlebag and black suction cup phantom pad, for perfomance it has a custom exhaust system using Vance & Hines short shots which we have wrapped with tan heat wrap and only used powder coated heat shields on the mufflers to give it a very cool custom look, it also has the Screamin Eagle heavy breather air cleaner with skull insert and a super tuner to make use of the 1584 twin cam engine........this bike looks and sounds amazing!
