u can get the Rocker seat at a cost of about 190.00 dollars and that will close the gap. You will lose the trick seat option.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; Second option lower the bike and that will also close the gap..

Has anyone seen the Rocker with the Heartland Biker (Rock-N-Bobber) seat on it yet? I was thinking about the tan seat&nbsp\\;on a Crimson Red Rocker. Anyone with either pictures or photoshop please post.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks,&nbsp\\;

Hey tags,
&nbsp\\;
I'm assuming you have a Rocker "C"........
&nbsp\\;
The Standard Rocker (FWCW) seat and bracket&nbsp\\;is only about $170. Part number is 51480-08 plus 51886-08 for the base support bracket.
&nbsp\\;
Arlen Ness do a Lowering Kit&nbsp\\;Part number #17-100 at about $70.
&nbsp\\;
The Std seat lowers the "C" seat height by an inch. The Lowering kit another one inch plus.
&nbsp\\;
Makes for a pretty cheap improvement.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;

Will that arlen ness kit void your warranty? And that space doesn't bother me too much. I don't really feel that I am up that high.

Does anybody have a girlfriend that might actually want to ride on the back of the Rocker with them? What the hell!? Also if you lower it are you then unable to carry a passenger? Sorry I'm a newbie. Just trying to get some knowledge.

DrRocker, I would be careful with a passanger on the trick seat once the bike has been lowered. There is a&nbsp\\;real possibility the seat could kiss the fender if you hit a pothole.
