Default 2008 rocker c

I purchased a rocker c with just a low profile solo seat and the ride is killing me. I'm looking to change the seat to either a stock seat or something better for me and passenger. Any ideas ?

I have a Danny Grey solo seat on mine. I'm good for about three hours and then need a little break. The stock seat wasn't better. I plan to change out the foam for better quality and have it reshaped a bit to suit me. Passenger options are few.

Do you have any pics of your bike with the seat ?

You bought a Rocker with the thought of passenger comfort? Trade it for a Road King. Don't mean to come off as crappy and when I first saw it I thought it pretty cool but knew it could only be a second bike. Best of luck and hope you find a decent compromise.

The stock passenger pavilion pad can be modified to be as comfortable as any other seat, all it requires is a bit of effort. And the stock seat can also be modified to be all day comfortable. I've got well over 80,000 miles between two different Rocker Cs all with a smile on my and my passengers face.

Hears a few pics of my '09 Rocker C with a Danny Gray Rocker Solo seat I got the gel insert, well worth the $110 bucks. It also has the Rocker Flames they can do to match your color, other stitch patterns avail. too. Great seat, I'm good for several hours in it.. The stock seat was ok, but I only ride solo so I had no need for It. I did think the trick seat hidden passenger pillion was cool though!
