Default Seat idea for Rocker C owners

I like most C owners am not that happy with the shallow seat that comes stock as a part of the "Trick Seat". I also am not a fan of the saddle bags that HD offers for the Rocker.&nbsp\\;I decided to solve both issues by putting&nbsp\\;the smallest trunk bag from Bikers Friend on the "Trick Seat".&nbsp\\;It provides me with a little storage while giving me a back rest. Using it I feel like I am a part of the bike rather than just sitting on the bike. Difference is nite and day. Cost was $200 which I think is comparable to the FXCW seat and passenger pillion. The best part is that I was able to mount the bag to the seat without bunges around the tailights, etc. Bikers Friend includes bunges and zip ties with the bag.&nbsp\\;Mounting is very stable but in the long run I may just bolt the trunk bag directly on the Trick Seat since I bought an extra seat pad. That way I can easily change from the Trick Seat to the trunk bag in seconds.

Here is a closeup of the seat with the trunk bag mounted.

Here is one more view. The bag comes with a back rest pad that has a small roll that you can use or remove. I am just using the back rest on the bag.

I sent some pics to Biker's Friend and they put me on their gallery page. Use the link and scroll down to pics of my blue Rocker C.
