The seat-to-fender gap was too much for me......looked like a boober seat on a stretched chopper.....too cobbled for me.

Went with the Danny Gray Work Solo seat, moved the license plate to the former left rear footpeg hole, removed the tank badges, bondoed and repainted the tank, and lifted the tank 2 inches. Really sleekens the look and puts everyting in a flowing line.

Love the rocker rear fender look. That's what drew me to my first Harley.

IMO, the best thing about the Rocker is that you can go lots of different directions with it.

I think there are some extremely SICK Rockers on this forum with Heartland kits, DG and others. So, I'm definitely not "anti" anything. Once in a while I look at mine and wish I had gone down some of these other paths.

Conversion Cost / installed. Rocker-Heartland Kit

hope I don't offend anyone talking $ but to the guys who did do the Heartland Conversion Kit, which I personally think looks bad ***, what did you pay total for the kit and installation?

Thanks !

Rocker Rear Fender Conversion

one more, am I reading these posts accurately, there's a conversion kit needed to replace/shorten the rear fender on the Rocker?

Thanks

You know what they say about opinions! Yeah, and everybody's got one. I see a lot of folks on here want a heartland kit but are not pleased with the price. Me? I don't care if they were giving them away. It aint going on mine! that would defeat the purpose in my purchase. Sure, I would take a free heartland kit in a second and have it on e bay the next. Do I think the Rocker looks good with the heartland conversion? Sure do! Just not what I'm after. I got what I was after 6 months after I ordered mine, and took delivery Jan 16th 08 I believe.
