Your Jackpot looks sweet....but with all respect to the Rockers, many of them look just as sweet or sweeter...just take a look at Orthodoc's Rocker on this forum....totally killer ride...thing is...you're gonna have to dump oodles of cash into any Rocker you buy to get the true "custom" look...so 20k for the bike and at least another 5 or 6 k to start...only goes up from there...the decision is yours but absolutely nothing wrong with the Jackpot....

That's the best looking Victory I've seen yet.. Of course I'm a little partial to blacked out bikes..
Can't really impart any words of wisdom regarding your question... You just have to do what works best for you and your finances... When I bought my Rocker I looked real hard at the Vegas Jackpot as well but opted for the Rocker mainly because I'm 1.5hrs from the Victory dealer and 2 miles from the HD dealer.. I also learned long ago, if a person is buying a new bike of this nature then just get a Harley.. This enlightenment came after losing my *** on an Indian Spirit several years ago.. Same thing, the closest dealer was in Chicago so service was a pain and then the value fell out when they closed shop..
Btw... That's a Rocker in my signature with the Heartland kit installed if you're looking for ideas..

Hey bro. Don't let the fact that i own a Rock make you think that my opinion is biased. Your bike is pretty sweet looking, I still think the Rocker is a bit better looking. As far as the things that bother you......the V-Twin sound you won't be able to get anywhere else other then with a Harley.
As far as the Harley seat, you can easily get the standard Rocker seat and close the gap a bit (2inches), or you can have a custom made seat or even get that Heartland Kit for the rocker (comes with a new rear fender and a seat) really good looking set up.
The other thing that would persuade me to switch is the lack of dealers being able to hook you up to get more out of your bike. Come over to the dark side and get on a Rocker.....you know you want to.

I like the Rocker as much as anyone, but you have an awesome looking bike. If it fits you well and you like the ride you should consider keeping it. You don't see very many on the road which is always a plus.
I would suggest you get to an HD dealer and try to get on a demo ride. You may find you like the ride on your scooter better and that's the most important thing.

IMO. If you were asking this question without owning a bike I would recommend the Rocker. You have a lot of potenial with the Rocker as you can see from my sig pic and there are so many HD dealers for service. However... since you already own that bike, and it is very sweet looking, I would say to keep it and get your money's worth out of it. A sale or trade now will cost you a lot of cash.
