Doc, I just ordered the FXCW seat (and the 2 up). How did you install it? Did it require any extensive work? Thanks. Mike

RockerMike, no biggie placing the Rocker seat. You unbolt the Rocker C seat, back pan, install the rubber grommets from the Rocker C back pan into the new pan and its almost done. Now here is the hard part. After this you will be left with two ugly bolt holes and stampings from the pilons on both side of the new seat. Harley davidson does sell covers for this in colors! But, they are back ordered for 4 months. I cut the chrome pilons and shaved them to fit under the transplanted Rocker seat. A trip to the chrome shop a presto it's done!

Thanks again for posting the pics and agreeing to put the pats list up. The exhaust looks like V&H 2 into 2. How loud are they? my stealer tells me it may be to loud and I should look at the staggered or the two into one. I really liek the look on your bile of the 2 into 2. The sound on the V&H web site doesn't sound to loud. Any feelings one way or the other?

HD RKR, the pipes are loud! Since the pipes dump on the right side of the bike they will appear to be louder during right hand turns. People will hear you coming!
