Default Rocker C pics... at dealer... first impression

I know, another Rocker thread. But... I rode down to the dealer to take a look at the new Rocker C. The most impressive part is that massive 240 rear tire. What do you guys think? Is it growing on you yet?

No ,it is not growing on me. I want to like it too because its a Harley but I just cant do it. I dont think it will last. They should go back to the drawing boards and build something better looking. Having a 240 rear tire dont make it cool.

I actually had one ordered but the more time went on I went off them and am ordering the FXSTC. I dont really like the bars but each to their own and I am sure whoever orders one will be more than happy.

This is the best one I've seen yet. Haven't seen one in person yet, not saying that would be any better. One thing I like about the one pictured in this thread is that the frame is painted the same color as the tins. Boy is this thing begging for a frame strech and lift.

I'm looking forward to the first thread about someone having a new rear tire put on at the dealer. Ya think a dealer is expensive with a normal tire change wait until someone has a dealership replace a 240.

Jury's still out......I'm not sold on them yet. Don't particularly like how the rear turn signals are just kind of "stuck" on the fender. They almost look like an after-thought.
