Hi, Im new to the forum
I have the bug and think I'm gonna buy a Rocker. I've been reading everything here for the last week. The big problem I have with the bike is the seat. It is evidently a problem for most owners. I have decided that if I make the purchase a seat fix is something I will address immediately. I’m thinking cheapest fix for me would be a Danny Grey and ultimate fix would be the Heartland. Now finally my question I’m only 5'9" I would like to hear from you about how you think I would fit on the bike with either set up. I don’t want to need a booster seat! Thanks in advance for any help.
I think you sit lower with Heartland. I just received Heartland (hold by customs now),should get it next week, so than i can tell you in comparison with stock. I would go for Heartland directly if you like it. The cost is crazy i know, but the shape is unbeatable (still dont understand that no one is able to make cheaper and same looking alternative....) What i learned, i will never do any temporary "cheaper" solutions anymore. Better go directly or wait -but thats just me.
Thanks guy's I appreciate the info. DragonSlayer08 and Rocker "D" both of your bikes are awesome!! Masar, I would love to hear about the install of your heartland kit and see the bike when its finished..
The gap on the FXCW doesn't bother me at all, but the FXCWC is too much. I've never had anyone come up and say, "Wow, the gap between the seat and fender is huge!"
If I wanted a bike without the gap, there are many others to pick. I just want a bigger headlight.
