Default Does Danny Gray Rocker bottom out

I'm thinking if getting a danny gray seat for my 2010 rocker. the fender to seat gap looks pretty close. have any if you had problems with the seat hitting the fender?

It does hit the fender when you hit big bumps, but Danny Gray supplies a clear plastic protective piece that sticks to the fender under the seat and is easily removeable.

in my opinion the nicest way for the look, is to put a danny gray, put an air suspension, and have ur seat sitting on ur fender, it looks amazing, it wont even look like the same bike, and if u want to change the height for long rides u can, i have arnott system with danny gray and i ride it always slammed, its sick!!

The Danny Gray seat is the way to go. Get the gel insert.

i didn't know that the seat was being sold on ebay. i have it on my ride, it does hit the fender but it causes no damage. the clear plastic saves the paint.

make sure you get the gel insert. that seat was one of the best mods i did to my bike. well worth the money.

thanks for the props bro. the seat i have is the one DG makes specifically for the rocker. i got it when he first started making it so i'm not sure if they actually gave it a name since then. i would think that if you go to his web site you'll be able to check on there.

i tell ya, the difference in comfort is like night and day. you won't have to worry about your paint with the DG.
