Re: Just bought a basketcase Rockster

Update. I love this bike but I am too tall for her. I have seen posts about the Tall seat but cant find any real dimensions/photos or any for sale. I have read it is 2" taller which sounds good but must look odd on the bike.

Re: Just bought a basketcase Rockster

Good eyes, Its the Babe Magnet cable, as I ride by hot chicks they are mesmerized by the bike then I snag them with this device. Sorry, old man dreams. Its a temporary cable for the ignition switch. I still need to drill out the old switch and replace it.
