I suggest you think again...

Personally, I wouldn't put them on a Rocker but you're the only one that has to ride your bike, so..... do what you want!

From a past Rocker C owner I say no to the highway bar.

And by the looks of the mods this guy did I think he should have bought a touring bike. JMHO...

It seems like an easy bolt on application. I could buy it then just bolt it on before I go on long trips. I want to install footpegs on it so i can stretch my legs a little, maybe add some extra running lights aswell...
