Default New Rocker man!
I previously rode an '08 Dyna Street Bob, but after looking and reading about them too much, I made the move to a Rocker-C!! Picked it up yesterday at the dealer and traded in the dyna. Just driving it home and around town a little really let me know that I had made the right choice as far as looks and feel. This bikedefinately handles better and is overall smoother to operate than the Dyna was by far.

Nice man. If I could have afforded one I would have bought the blue one. Don't listen to the haters on here about the Rocker, it's one of the coolest bikes Harley's makin right now.

I'm in Stephenville, 1.5 hours west of Ft. Worth. Probably going to wait a little bit on the pipes, but will probably go with the V&H Big Radius when I do. I am going to put on the chrome switch housings I had already ordered for the Dyna, but that will fit the Rocker as well. Also, I have noticed that the chrome on the bars is more of a coppery color than the rest of the bike. It looks like the outer ring on the speedo is the same? Wonder why?? Either way, I love the bike.
