Default Aftermarket seat for Rocker C

Just got word from Danny Gray custom seat manufacturer today that they possibly could have a seat ready in the next month.&nbsp\\;

I just received and installed my FXCW seat for my FXCWC and&nbsp\\;man what a difference.&nbsp\\;It closes the gap nicely and&nbsp\\;it makes you sit in the bike...not on it.&nbsp\\;I'm sending out the passenger struts to the chromer in the am.&nbsp\\;I will post pics as soon as they return.

Danny Gray is fine tuning the seat for the Rocker. The one we have seen on the forum was a one off custom seat. They are working to make one available on a larger scale.

Affiant, I'm a little confused about the seat, if you could answer a few questions:

1) Do you have a part number - don't see a seat option from HD?
2) Is the FXCW seat longer than the FXCW-C seat?
3) What is the passenger strut and what else do you have to purchase to make it a 2-up?

Thanks. Mike

Part number is 53935-08
I understand that the FXCW seat sits lower than the FXCWC seat (due to the trick seat)

Mike I bought everything through Zanotti's and saved almost $300.00.&nbsp\\; The seat is lower and moves you down and away from the tank nicely.&nbsp\\; You sit in the bike and not on it.&nbsp\\; I rode it today and man it was an even better ride than before.&nbsp\\; I didn't want to get off, but the wonderful afternoon Florida rains kind of tell you when you need to stop.&nbsp\\; The strut system traditionally goes to the regular rocker.&nbsp\\; You have to purchase everything...al a carte.&nbsp\\; I just sent the struts to the chromer and should have them back next week.&nbsp\\; He thought they were billet, but they are really cast, so more polishing and smoothing is involved.&nbsp\\; The following was ordered to get the 2 up:
&nbsp\\;
1. FXCW Seat 51480-08
2. Touring struts 53835-08
3. Luggage rack 53957-08
4. Passenger pillion 52959-08
5. Upright (sissy bar) chrome 52804-08
6. FXCW seat support bracket (black metal and nice)&nbsp\\;51886-08
7. Passenger backrest 51782-07
&nbsp\\;
I was really impressed with the quality of the parts.&nbsp\\; The misses seat is nicer than mine...so she's a happy camper now.&nbsp\\; The install was easy and quick.&nbsp\\; Hope this helps.
&nbsp\\;
John
