Default Rocker seat - need advice

Hi there,

I just got my new Rocker and the seat is awful, I had my first ride today and loved everything about the Rocker except the seat ! I hate the seat. Anyways, I need the advice on a seat that is more comfortable and sits lower than the stock and at the same time could fit with the HD passenger seat kit (attached).

did you get the Rocker C ?

Alot of guys that got the C model have switched their seats for the "regular" rocker seat. It's much more comfortable and seats 2 inches lower. There is also a thread on here about a Danny Gray seats that looks phenomenal and supposedly is pretty comfortable.

I sent my Standard Rocker seat to Mean City Cycles and had them do the Memory Foam Mod. The very back of the seat still gets you a little but it is much more comfortable and sits about 1 - 1.5 inches lower. It was well worth the $.

I got the Rocker and not the Rocker C, I think I will have to search more on a more comfortable lower seat and at the same time fits with the Passenger seat that I already ordered from HD.
My main problem is that I am from Egypt and live in Cairo where I only can order online. I don't have the option of sending the seat or knowing more details except from here and other websites ! I checked a seat from Corbin but looks a bit ugly odd and it also can't fit with the back seat. Also checked heartland (beautiful) but it's for $ 1999 including a fender !!! That's too much for me.

Anyways, thank u all for your advices and cooperation and greeting from Cairo, Egypt.

Thx
