New Rocker C Owner
Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum. My husband and I just bought a Rocker C a couple weeks ago. (Yes, WE...that bike is as much for my enjoyment as it is his....however I know my limitations. I don't drive a car well so there's no way I'm riding a bike. I'll just sit on the back and look pretty! )
We haven't made any mods yet but he is itching to change the exhuast ASAP. WE called our local V&H dealer but the guy had never even heard of the Rocker C, so that is not a promising start to say the least. He likes the Short Shots but we read in another post there's a bracketing issue so he's going to have to do some more research, I guess.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and I look forward to talking to you all and beating bouncing questions and ideas off you all.

Hey RckrChick...and welcome to the forum!
If your local 'parts guy' is not familiar with V+H for your machine, I'd personally look elsewhere and talk to a different 'parts guy!' I have found that many of the 'parts guys' don't know near as much as I do...but they have so much stuff to keep up with I guess it would be toughto be up-to-date about everything!You can save serious $$$ by getting your partsonline and installing yourself...assuming that the better-half is mechanically inclined and you have the tools! I use my local dealers to go and see and touch the parts I'm interested in to make sure I like them, and then I go home and order them from Zanotti and save some hard earned cash!
Good luck and again, welcome to the forum!

I just got my Rocker about a month ago. Looks great. But it hasn't stopped snowing here in the Pacific Northwest, so not much riding yet. I put the Vance and Hines Big Radius pipes on my bike. I think they look great. Had to drill 2 different holes in the mounting bracket, but other than that, it was a clean install. Now if my fuelpak would just show up. I ordered it 3 weeks ago, and it's still a no show. Enjoy your Rocker, for I'm enjoying mine (what little I've been able to ride it).

Congrats! My wife and I also just purchased a Rocker C, but HD is pushing back the delivery date...sigh. Rocketman69 can fabricate a bracket to mount softail V&H pipes, look under https://www.hdforums.com/fb.asp?m=3037006. However, I also called V&H direct and they said that the entire lineup for the Rocker will be available the first week in June.
How many miles have you logged together, how does your backside feel? We purchasd the passenger pillon with backrest, but have yet to try it out.

RE: New Rocker C Owner
Hello and welcome from Florida. I got my Rocker C in January and have 1800 miles on it so far. My wife has been on the "trick seat" and has no problem with it. She said there was plenty of room and it was as comfortable as my old Wide Glide. I want to change out my pipes as well, V&H said it would be late April or May before they have pipes for the Rocker. The bracket can be overcome but I'm not sure about the Power Commander. The word I get so far is that it won't fit on the Rocker, no where to hide it. Hopefully V&H will figure that out too. Enjoy your Rocker C, I love riding mine.
