I'm possibly getting my wife a Rocker C as she loves the look and the big rear tire. I'm wondering for those who have been on one, is it a bike that can be a comfortable ride for a few hundred mile/day trip? Most of the riding is going to be local and quick trips but thought I'd ask. as there may be an occasional longer trip.
Also, for kids who want to ride on the back, is there an easy quick release sissy bar you can purchase?
What are some other cool accessories that can be done and what exhaust do you recommend?
A friends wife that rides with us all the time has one and claims it is not good for longer trips. They switched the seat out for a Danny Grey that looks great but she says the ride beats her up on long trips . I think the seat had nothing to do with the ride, it was all about the suspension and harsh ride. She had a lowrider before and never complained. They often switch bikes half way thru a trip to make it easier on her. He rides a Road King Custom.
As for the sissy bar HD has a 2 up seat built into the stock seat that flips out I think but not sure of a quick sissy bar.
Exhaust..... she has on Vance and Hines big radius and they look great.
My Rocker C is definately not a bike for long trips. If i'm going to take a long trip I will rent another model Harley or just trailer my bike. It is really good for short hauls, and handles amazingly. Thay rear tire really allows you to take turns at high speeds, and it grips the road. Not sure about a sissy bar being that the seat is not attached to the rear fender. I also have V & H Dual Radius and the look and sound are awesome. Hope this helps.
