Seat idea for Rocker C owners
#21
Update
Here are some pictures of my bike with the trunk bag again. They were deleted when the Forum converted to the new format. My bike is setup as a solo rider and I wouldn't be without my trunkbag/backrest. It's very comfortable and keeps me in the seat. In addition if I want to take the bag off I just remove the trick seat and the whole thing comes off as a unit. I have a second pillion seat so I could just do a seat switch and the bike would be ready for 2 up in 30 seconds. The D rings on the Biker's Friend trunk bag are in the perfect location for attaching the bag to this trick seat. I use zip ties on the front rings and feed their bungee around and through the back D rings, very sturdy mount. I also use a 15" X 15" luggage net on top of the bag which holds larger items from time to time including my helmet. While I am not interested in saddle bags on the Rocker I wouldn't be without some storage and this works best for me.

I recently came back from a 1200 mile trip. I put the original seat back on my rocker and hooked on a medium size Biker's Friend bag as per Windeed's instructions. I gotta say, I was really comfortable on the original seat with a full on backrest. If you are 6 ft tall the medium bag might be too tight though.

Biker's Friend - XL on a Rocker
I took bikerheadsteve's guidance and went with a Biker's Friend solution for my CT to Sturgis trip this summer. The guy I was riding with (on an ElectraGlide) complained more about his seat than I did (and even upgraded to a Mustang seat when we got to Sturgis)!
My solution was to have a custom luggage rack built by a friend that fits into the grooves on the flip out seat contraption. I strapped an XL Biker's Friend (with lumbar pad) to the back and finished it off with a AirHawk seat cover (a lifesaving device). The 2K+ mile trip to Sturgis posed no problems with this config (and I did an iron butt ride last month with the same configuration).
