Dennis @ Top Down Products makes a very nice side mount for the Rocker.
Either the swingarm mount like I have or the axle mount made for the Rocker. http://www.topdownproducts.com/html/harley.html
Thanks also doggin it, I gotta say, I also agree, it aint cheap, but quality is spot on, easy to fit and the 10 seconds it takes to change to 2up will leave you smiling while your mates are playing wih tools...
Cheers

I odered the Heartland kit w/second seat thruogh Drew. Cant wait till that arrives
I had emailed to Dennis @ topdownproducts last week and this is what I have decided to go with for a plate mount with brake/tail lights
Still havent dont anything about lowering the bike. Rocker Dan, is your bike lowered? If so, how does it ride with a passenger? I dont want any bottoming out
Trust me brother, the second you finish mounting the kit, you're gonna realize what I'm telling you. The fender will be at LEAST 3" off the tire. It looks ridiculous. You HAVE to lower the bike. No two ways about it. While you're waiting for that HL kit to arrive, decide what you're going to do lowering-wise. I had the bolts for a while, but the ride SUCKED. I just went to the Progressive 422's and while it's not a Cadillac-type ride, it IS improved.

JY Kelly, thanks I will look into the 422s. I like the adjustable height of the Shotguns but am a little leary about an air shock
The Shotgun Shock, if you have the means, really is the way to go. The 422's are a decent stopgap measure. Most certainly an improvement over lowering bolts- trust me. I am speaking from pure experience.

When station in SoCal, I was able to have met and done business with all of them, all were great. After having done business with Drew (Dr. V-Twin) for Shotgun Shocks, and now stationed in NC, my future purchases will continue to be through him.
