Hey-
I'm new to these forums. So hello to everyone.
Your bike looks sweet. Great mods on it. I just bought a 2008 Rocker C myself. I was wondering- could you tell me where you bought your saddle bag? Also, I want to get a Danny Gray seat- is there a part number you can point me to and is there a way to customize it so the stitching is in red and black? My bike is black with the red flames. Thanks for any help.

First post here! My wife and I are seriously considering getting a RC in the coming months. I went to a Harly dealer and sat on one. I'm 5'8" and my feet would not sit flat on the floor while sitting on it. This really concerns me. I should also point out, that my wife loves to ride 2up with me on occasions. 90% of my time would be solo. Therefore, after reading several posts in here, I was hoping some of you could answer a few questions for me.
1. How hard (time consuming) is it to switch from a standard rocker seat or Danny Grey seat to the RC seat? If it's only 5 to 10 minutes of my time, that solves my 1up problem.
2. With the aftermarket seat, can I still lower the bike about 1" with making it ride like a hard tail. I'm too old for my kidneys to get punched black and blue. I believe if I could lower the bike 1 more inch, I would be able to safely ride 2up with the standard trick seat.
Has anyone had to deal with these issues, and if so...what did you do to solve them?
Thanks in advance,
Cosmo

as far as riding the bike with the danny gray seat lowered one inch, you might have a bit of an issue. with the stock height and the danny gray seat on, the seat sits right over the fender so you might be touching the fender (at all times) if you lower the bike.
if you own a rocker and you want to get rid of the gap and get a seat that actually helps you stay on the bike when you are riding it then the danny gray seat is a must.

i finally put my danny gray seat on my rocker yesterday afternoon. let me tell you the difference is night and day. it takes literally 10-15 minutes to switch out the seats, no hassle at all.

alain,
did you have any issues getting the seat mounting tabs to line up with the bolt holes? or did yours go on easily? mine was a pain in the a$$,, but i got it worked out
