for Rocker owners
Hi all,
Im in the process of getting my self a new bike .. i've started few threads comparing number of bikes and tried to roll out the rocker from my mind but couldnt !! as i really really like how the bike looks ...
I'm wondering u Rocker owners ... how long you can ride your bikes without feeling tired/back pain/fatique ?? and what if u change the stock seat ??
I need to justify buying this bike by any means !!
regards and thnx

I changed out my seat for a Danny Gray with gel and have rode for five hours or more without back ache, fatigue, or bothersome pressure points from the seat. I wouldn't have been happy with any other bike myself.

the stock seat is indeed uncomfortable, i'm waiting for my Danny Gray seat to get here. but as uncomfortable as the stock seat is it doesn't matter. the rocker is so freaking cool and you'll get so many looks and thumbs up that you won't really be bothered by the bad seat.
like the night train, it's a great bike to start out with and it's an easy bike to customize to look like a custom or a chopper

the fatboy is a good ride, its more comfortable if ur rating stock seat for stock seat, they made the rocker seat really badly ur legs will go numb aftern an hour or two of riding, but change for a danny gray solo seat it will be the best investment u will make, not only is it 100x more comfortable but u ride the bike the way it should be ridden a little lower in the pocket and a bit more stretched out!
hope it helps
and bike looks way sicker than a fatboy!!

I hated the stock seat on my Rocker C. It was hard and when riding two-up the passenger had to lean foward alittle, making me lean foward. That being said I have ridden 250 miles in one day, so it's not that bad I don't guess.
I decided to just change to the Heartland Kit because the option of the two-up seat with the backrest. Plus when riding solo it looks cool as hell.
That being said I love my Rocker and if I had to buy again it would be another Rocker.
