V&H BR on Rocker myth busted? Pics.
I just got my bike back from the dealer after he put V&\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;H BR's on it. Mechanic said they bolted right up with no problems. The parts guy said they were the ones made for the Rocker, which I thought was kind of strange since I talked to the V&\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;H tech dept. yesterday and they said they wouldn't be out until the end of August. I do know that the part number on the box was different than the one in the catalog for 07-08 Softails.
Anyway, here's some pics of the installation. V&\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;H said they run too close to the oil lines. I looked at a stock setup on the showroom floor, and the rear stock pipe was touching the lower oil line. Note the clearance now.

I thought that looking at them from the top down, they looked closer together in the rear than in the front, but, when I got down and looked at them straight on, they looked equally spaced. It's raining out now, so I'll get some better pics tomorrow.

 \\; \\; \\; \\; \\; I stopped in at the local dealership about a week ago, and they had sold a blue rocker c that was in the back. \\; They had installed V/H big radious on it also. \\; They fired it up so I could listen to it also. \\; Sounded good [sm=bounceybounce.gif] \\; Anyways, they told me that they were told they wouldn't fit but said they had no trouble at all putting them on the bike. \\; Also said if they did the work it would all be under warranty. \\; I still haven't decided which pipes i want but i really did like the looks and sound of the V/H BR. \\; Nice looking scoot AirCommando \\; \\; \\; \\; \\ ; \\; Cheers Everyone....[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Thanks *****. The reason I let them do it is now I am sort of crippled up\\; artificial knees, pins and screws fusing my ankles and feet, titanium plates in my neck holding it together, bad back the VA wants to operate on now, and they had to do the stage 1 install and computer download. So, let them do it and then I'm sure it's under warranty as far as the bike is concerned, but, V&\\;H says they won't fit and they can't warranty a mis- installation!

Thanks jason. Well, as far as the ride so far, 53 miles on it, I think my 2001 Springer rode smoother, and it was even lowered. But, I like the style!Was almost going to get a Big Bear Chopper last year, but waited until I saw the Rocker. HD name, you know! Better resale, although the days of selling your used one for more than the new one you buy are over!
