The brakes also feature the Performance Machine logo. The front end has a six-spot caliper on the 13-inch disc, while the rear disc has a 4-spot caliper to provide ample braking power. On the other side of the rear rim is a matching pulley – again in machined alloy and black. The rear-end sits low, thanks to the addition of the Legend air suspension. Moving to the front, Nick added brand new Showa forks with progressive Patriot springs, HHI custom anodised billet triple tree with hidden fork stop, wrap around front indicators and black magnum braided lines. The Burleigh Bars and have billet controls, grips and mirrors also from Performance Machine, as are the forward controls.
Each billet wheel is contrast cut with polished alloy and black accents adding to the bike’s sinister looks.

Underneath the Saddleman seat and Harley tank (complete with flush mount fuel gauge and filler) sits the 107ci S&S V-Twin power plant. Sporting more power than the HD factory had ever hoped for, the S&S engine gives Dave a buzz when he twists that billet throttle. Helping make a power difference are a pair of 89cc heads and roller 635HO cams (with matching roller lifters) that give the V-twin a nice rumble. Roller rockers were also fitted along with adjustable pushrods. An
HPI throttle body replaces the factory Harley unit with 4.9gsm injectors supplying plenty of fuel into the 107-cuber. The engine also scored an RSD turbine air cleaner, high-volume oil pump and a set of Vance and Hines slash cut, big radius pipes. Using a Screaming Eagle Super Tuner, the team at APL Performance Cycles strapped the Rocker onto the dyno and recorded a best figure of 135hp and 120ft pounds if torque at that wide rear tyre!
