Default 2008 Rocker C




Recently traded for this 08 rocker c. I noticed this one doesn't have the big gap under the seat like some of them do, so I like that. Just curious if anyone knows if their was something modded on mine to fix that or?

Thanks guys.

That is an aftermarket seat. Did the same to mine adding a Danny Grey.

Thanks, makes sense.

I'd kinda like to relocate the license plate off the fender but I guess I'd have holes I'd have to fill in?

I took mine off and brought it to body shop to fill the holes. Personally I’d wait until you change rear tire. Mine only lasted for about 6k so I’ll be pulling wheel off again soon. Ordered 5 star brake rotors to match mag wheel tonight.

Looks nice.

I might look into one of those flush mounted options for the license plate on the fender.

I don't understand how the fender doesn't get beat up by the seat...tolerance looks tight. Does it still have normal suspension travel or are the shocks adjusted to where it's basically a rigid?

It does scratch the fender with the suspension travel. Previous owner of my Rocker installed a fender bib that I'm sure was put there to help protect the paint from the seat, but it wasn't far enough under the Danny Grey to work properly. So he simply put a tool pouch there to hide what the bib didn't. I plan on repainting my rear fender in the near future so I will address that issue at that point. And my suspension still feels "normal". Definitely not like a rigid. I only ever actually feel my seat give with the fender if I ride over a really bad dip in the road.

I have 3M clear protective film where the seat makes contact. It isn’t very noticeable and I have no issues with the suspension.

Yeah, that sounds like a good option.
