Default Why, did HD stop making the Rocker C
Cause, I love mine, was it commercial, or a new model due, asked dealer, he said they sell well and he cant understand it, or get an explanation fro HD,

First off the fact you love your's is all that matters! .... Secondly the only way you will find the truth is from the MOCO and unless your related that ain't gonna happen .... you will hear all sorts of reason's but all they will be is guesses

Who knows. I've heard they discontinued the FXR line because Dynas were cheaper to produce. One thing for sure, HD did it for financial reasons.

purely for financial reasons. MOCO is in the business to make money for their investors.

Because most of us don't like them and they didn't sell very many.

I seen some nice ones but they are not made for the majority of our riding styles.

I've seen some nice ones here but overall they surely took a hit putting all that money into developing a custom chopper right as the custom chopper craze died out. I actually feel bad for the guy at HD in charge of it, talk about bad timing. At least with an HD Rocker you have an engine that you can get parts for..unlike others.
