I don't like to ease up on the throttle either- and with the new 30/70 belt pulleys there is some very good off the line pull- definitely loving that!
Here's my seat mod thread with comparison of both stock and modified one..

My Danny Gray Rocker Solo with the gel insert is super comfortable, I have no plans to change seats!!! But Ray you might want to add your link to Skid Pimp's Rocker seat thread, similar mod...

What about looking for a chromed lower belt guard to match upper one?

That's would be a nice option, but since this is a Rocker "C", I think if it came in chrome it would have had one. I don't think HD used this style fender or guard on any other model?? so I don't think they ever made a chrome one??

I guess I should have said a seat mod is a seat mod, the process is similar whether on a BO or a Rocker and both stock seats need help!!
