Rocker Help
Ok I'm getting frustrated. I've been looking for matching spike grips and pegs for my Rocker. I finally found some that I like but the company says they don't fit. So I do some more looking and they say they fit certain bar sizes. I have NO idea of any specs on my Rocker, kind of wish I did but I don't. It is my first bike and I wanna make it mine in every way. So if anyone can either tell me what size the bars are, or give me a link to spike grips and pegs that WILL fit FXCWC it would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's because of the stock foot peg "curb feelers" the claim of not fitting.
I'm running some HD "all but the Rocker... etc." foot pegs and Kury ISO grips.
As long as it states it fits a Harley the pegs will work. For the grips, Big Dogs have a larger diameter bar fit. Just look for grips for Harleys and they should fit no problem.

Well my Danny Gray seat lowered my riding position about 2" and moved me back a bit. Huge difference in feeling like you're riding in the bike instead of perched on top of it with the stock seat.

I have an 08 rocker which I LOVE and I think I know what they are referring too. If you look at your stock rocker driver pegs, they actually sit about an inch lower than usual on other bikes (shaft does not come out straight but sits about an inch lower. I put kuryaken stileeto pegs with matching stiletto grips and they fit fine/look great BUT since they do not have that 1 inch bend, your foot position is a little different, but I have not found it to be a problem. Try one size larger tire in the front also. It fills the fender out nice and raises the bike up 1/4 inch in the front. Ride safe!

The danny grey seat is my next upgrade also (Don't tell the bride...something about castration...). I looked at the bitchin seats and they looked great, BUT then I found out is rides like a hard tail...forget that! I'm also going to lower the back by 1 inch. Hope it doesnt mess up the new seat? don't think it will for an inch. I'm going to try one of the lowering kits from JP cycle (95 bucks and says you DO NOT have to take the stock shocks apart. Ride safe
