They must be the only Rockers on the planet. I heard at a dealer recently that the push back on the release date for the Rocker is because of problems with the welds. Sounds like you spotted the problem.[sm=yikesomg.gif]
They were loading swing arms parts in a jig, and the robot was welding the parts together, when I went through the factory.

That seat hasn't been getting good reviews. Most of what I've heard from industry reviewers is that they feel like they're going to fall off the back of it while riding it. The fact that it feels like you're sitting on a concrete slab of a seat... what a disappointment. I like the look of the seat, but the design seems like it's way off in comfort and function. Other than that, it does look pretty sweet up close according to that shot you got.

I like it and would have a Rocker C if I wanted a cruiser. Sweet looking to me.

If the welds were so bad.....you'd think they'd be worthy of a picture.

If I had my good camera with me I would have taken a nice macro closeup for ya.
