Default Turing on a Rocker.
I just got my Rocker setup for a 3500 mile trip I will be going on in a few weeks. People keep saying Rockers are only good for bar hopping so I will have to stop at a lot of bars between Oregon and Sturgis.

I'm doing the same on my Rocker C. Are you using the saddlebags also? What type of luggage bag is that on the rear pillion?

Good luck and have fun on your trip. I just did about 1,300 miles over 4 days last month. I was on my Rocker and everyone else rode their touring bikes. Had a blast and can't wait for the next trip.

I am not going to use saddlebags but I do have a roll bag I can strap on the the main bag if I need the room. The bag is is made by River Road.

Have fun on your ride.
