RE: Rocker-What Would You Change?
I got my Rocker today and put 60 miles on it. The seat is a little thin, I guess because of the passenger pad hidden underneath.It needs a little denser foam. Also, I would change the pipes. They sound pretty good for stock pipes, but they are basically the same pipes I had on my 85 Wideglide. The forks could be wider, but the forklegs are really beefy and the chrome is outstanding. I would leave them alone. That's about all I would change on mine. Vance and Hines Big Radius will be going on mine when they become available.

Definitely needs a tank lift. I agree on the side mount plate and i would probally scrap the diving board rear seat and give all the buyers a suction cup p-pad. Then again, thats all stuff that could be done pretty easily by the buyer...a V&H big radius and fork mounted signals would be nice too.

I think if you lowered it 2" you wouldn't need the tank lift.
Jackusan, How are the handle bars? Would T-bars with a 6" rise bang on the tank? I want this bike but the handlebars are the only deal breaker for me.

terribly fugly looking bike. I'm sorry but "cough,cough" Victory's bikes that came out years ago have nicer lines than the rocker. And I hate the Victory stuff. Everyone is right, the seat to fender is all wrong. The tank looks weird and positioned way too low. The only reason they are selling out is because there's about 1 per dealership right now. They are also way late coming out, apparent problems with them right from the get go....
