Default Pass Seat options for Rocker-C?

Has anyone found any long-ride passenger seat options for the Rocker-C?

Took my wife to dinner last night for Mother's Day. Medicine Park restaurant is ~ 20 minutes each way and she claims the fold-out passenger seat was very confortable and had no absolutely no complaints (miracles do happen). She even mentioned thatshe thought itwas more comfortable than the softail custom passenger seat. I am very surprised by that!

However, I am interested in a passenger seat that I can bolt on and take her for a 5-6 hour one-way trip to from SW OK to Austin, ROT.

Anyone have any ideas? Yeah, I (and she) already knows about the captain's chair couch on the UltraGlide

Ruralmed - If you are talking about the FXCW Rider's Essential Kit PN 96379-08, I thought it should work.

There are some really good pics of it at: http://www.harley-davidson.co.jp/pan...el/second.html

However, a HD dealer parts guy said that it is for the Rocker only, not the Rocker-C

I can't read Japanese but I it looks like the FXCWC is not listed on the pass seat kit the way it is on the windshield and bags...

Yet, looks like the same bolt-on points on the frame... anyone else?

You might want to look at the Corbin widowmaker, pretty pants to look at but if its comfort you want this may be the answer.
My missus doesn`t travell much so perhaps planning on Heartland bobber stage one kit for solo riding with the Corbin fitted on the occassion that missus wants a ride!!

Corbin Widowmaker $800 and you will never get it in time for the ROT rally

Beside it's ugly too on the Rocker.
Sides look to big for the bike.

Yeah, except I just wanted the seat mount and backrest, so I ordered the parts separately. My Rocker will arrive next week, but my dealer stated that both bikes have the same bolt patterns under the seat pan.

lionfish,

thanks for the info...found pics of the corbin widowmaker and read the reviews...Not sure I can get used to the look of it on the rocker yet. Currently leaning towardsone reviewer's opinion in the HD Forums, "that is one Fugly Futher Mucker" or somethin like that...lol - not exactly reserved in his thoughts. That same thread has all sorts of details about pothole effects on women's crotches - even a couple women's reviews. Whew, think I will keepsearchin for a solutionfor now....

thanks,
rleather

TXFB,

Thanks, tend to agree with your appraisal - I really don't want to have to cancel the mid-June ROT Ralley trip but may not have a choice if I don't find a viable solution REAL SOON. Especially now that a trade for the Candy-Red Ultra Glide is out of the question - heard today that somebody bought it thisweek - my wife was in love with that bike but I couldn't see it for a 99% of the time one-up commuter.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
rleather

BTW: Nice ride!
