I'm not a big fan of the Rocker, but it does look good with that fender. $2000.00 for a fender? I think they are on crack!! It's still a softail and there are plenty of affordable options to get the same look, but then why buy a Rocker?

I dont think I understand where your coming from. How is buying a new Rocker and then spending2 grand for a fender to make it look like asoftail saving money? Maybe I'm missing something. By the way, my post wasn't meantto bea Rocker bash, God knows I love ALL Harleys. I just like the other models more.

I like the Rocker rear end, its why I bought it. If the rear fender is not mounted to the swingarm is it really a Rocker anymore???

TB, not really, these Rockers are already to damn expensive. Just get a NT or other softail that cost alot less and then spend $2k on it if you dont like the Rocker rear-end. I have seen some really sweet NT's and Deuce's here on this forum. As much as i like my Rocker, HD shouldnt have gotten rid of the Deuce.

SQUARESNY has had two post's, both pushing Heartland products.My best guess is, this guy has a vested interest in selling these products.

It's a Heartland kit, which means for $2K you get the fender, rock guard, seats and struts. It's just like my kit...

I SAID IT WAS CHEAPER BECAUSE YOUR GETTING ALOT OF BIKE FOR 17,245. PLUS 2GS ISNT ALOT FOR A KIT THAT WORKS, AND YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER PEOPLE WERE DOING THE PM PHATAIL KIT FOR ALOT MORE MONEY ALMOST 7GS BETWEEN THE WHEELS ANDTHE FENDER AS WELL AS THE TRANNY WORKTO ACHIEVE THE SAME LOOK. BY THE WAY IM NOT MAD I JUST WRITE IN ALL CAPS-HABIT. AND NO I DONT WORK FOR HEARTLAND I WAS JUST PUT ON TO THEIR PRODUCTS AND I THINK THEIR LIGIT. BY THE WAY T-ROB SICK SCOOT "PERFECT".
