Default Ideas on Touring strut kit for Rocker

Anyone got any ideas on how to get my hands on a kit. I have the DG seat and ive read up that i can modify the touring strut kit available for the rocker to fit for a passenger. From the dealer they quoted me around 600 for the whole set up.

Wait patiently on ebay?

while that is a great looking idea. fabricator is no where in my vocabulary at all. maybe a shop around here could do something without spending too much though?

I have seen them from time to time on eBay but like you said, it's a matter of chance. You should shop online as most online vendors tend to give you discounts of up to 20%. I have used Surdyke.com for new Harley parts and I saved a good bit of money. Still expensive overall as Harley parts aren't cheap to begin with but still good. Every now and then they offer free shipping.

I got a chromed set off ebay for $300 shipped. It included the luggage rack.
I then found a brand new passenger pad for a savings also on ebay.

keep checking ebay...I got the whole setup with the struts, luggage rack, passenger seat, backrest and pad for $450. You will just have to be patient. The quote you got is about $300 cheaper than the quote I got from my local stealer for the whole package.

I got everything brand new on eBay for about 1/2 retail. I then chromed the struts as the gray didn't look good on a C

eBay is where I got mine. I had to piece it together. Use multiple search critiera and save each search and have it email you. You will eventually find a good deal.

Example searches:

Rocker passenger
Fxcw passenger
Fxcw (stock number for the part including description search)
Fxcw strut
Rocker strut
Fxcw rack
Etc...
