Rocker c
What years were the rocker c made? I love the lines but not a fan of the gap between the rear fender and the seat. Were there years this was eliminated? I have seen a few with the seat resting close to the rear fender.

First year model was 2008 and I think they ran till 2011. They never changed that gap between the seat and the fender. All the ones you see with no gap are either Heartland kits, Danny Grey seats or Bitchin seat kits.
I love mine. I do agree that stock the Rocker is a little rough on the eyes. But stock it has one of the hardest/most expensive things to change on a bike and that is a fat rear end.
It's a descent base to start from if you like that big rear end / custom chopper look.

Yep, what Alain said. When I bought mine the first thing I did was get rid of the butt ugly seat and put on a Danny Gray seat. I think they are a great modding platform and it is so easy for you to make a unique looking bike. I think it is far more common that people customize their HD versus leaving it totally stock. So, maybe the Rocker didn't win any beauty contests in its stock form but there sure are a lot of sweet looking ones on the road.

I dont understand the people what buy a rocker c and after they install in the bike the heartland kit. The beauty in the rocker c is the rear fender bobber style. If you install a heartland kit with standard fender, dont buy a rocker c....

Alain and Sarah are adding to the bad *** blue rocker count. Pretty sure blue is faster too! What ya think about that Mike?

Rocker Ugly?
Are you off your Rocker...LOL!
Think back to what people called ugly...
Edsel (1958-59'-60')... Now their collector items & cool!
Ever heard of an Edsel Ranger... It was the cheapo 2 Dr. wagon... Now $$$
Remember there's ugly & there's Fugly...
Example:
My "Ex" went from Lovely, to ugly & then Fugly within 3 years... HA!

I also don't understand those people who fit a frame-mounted fender to the Rocker. The best thing about it was the swingarm-mounted fender. Wish there was a simple-to-fit and decently-priced option for the other softails (in particular mine! :-)
