My new Custom seat for Rocker-C









Passenger custom seat works as a support. with this combination I can ride my Rocker without pain in my back. Only I have to stop for the fuel.










Don't sell your bike... Rocker is nice and special bike.!!!

How can this be. It's a Softail. Everyone know these bike float like a cloud over the roughest roads. That's why we buy them.

Default Rocker C

Well its not the seat, its the fwd. controls, which extend your legs which puts in a position that makes you not sit up so you are against the seat. The fix is move the controls back or a solo seat with a back rest which makes you sit up in a position that you are not putting pressure on your rear. This is what fixed it for me. Had same problem.

Have someone rework your seat with some memory foam and take the gel out. You probably dont need it/can't tolerate it. Gel is great for cutting vibes for long seat times for those with fairly tough asses. Gel is hard AF, so not helping your problem.

Also, this is outside the box, but how much exercise do you get? Squats and leg exercises? Makes a WORLD of difference.

@ Kris HD Rocker -
I love the seat for your Rocker. You said it was custom. Where did you get it and how can I get one? I have a 2008 Rocker C. It replaced an old Harley I had that got killed in Hurricane Sandy. Since then, my wife and I had 2 kids. When I brought it up that I wanted a new bike she said she would never get on it again. Then after a while shes all about getting on it now. The passenger seat is a joke. She hates it so I'm looking for any alternatives at aren't going to bankrupt me. Thanks.

Would Mustang have a seat for this bike? Always liked the look of the Rocker. The original seat on the Slim, for me, was good for 45 minutes tops then my lower back would be telling me to hop off. Changed it for a Mustang wide tourer and doubled easy the length of time i can sit in the saddle. Good luck, Theres a solution out there. Hate to have to sell one of the nicest looking bikes Harley made.
