So I had some time today to figure out the way the system works and then ride it, and DAMN, great investment! Never had such a good ride. Feel like a moron for taking me so long to get it figured out, but now that I have I love it. Glad I put the switches in the dash too so that its easier to adjust while riding.

Only question I have now is how do you guys park? All the way up so that the kick stand works, or do you dump all the air and park it slammed? If slammed, what do you do to keep the bike upright?

 

Glad you got it figured out.
I personally almost ALWAYS park it slammed, whether I dump the air or just lower it into that position with the rear switch. Always faster to dump it, but takes more time at take-off to get it filled with the right rebound again.
I have never had a problem with my stock kickstand being too long to hold the bike upright while slammed, but I don't know about the kickstand on the Rocker. Even if I turn my front wheel full right, It'll still stand while slammed. Some people buy a shorter kickstand to solve the problem. Of course, the cheapest solution is to not totally slam it while parked, but that's when it looks the coolest. I'm actually debating removing my bump stops on my next tire change so that I can slam 'er even more...

 

Always, always, ALWAYS slam her at very stop!! It's part of the 'Shotgun code,' man. Hahaha!!! I'm glad you got er figured out too... I don't have a problem with my kick either. I always keep her in gear so she doesn't roll. I make sure there's no play, whether it's downhill or up, then hop off and admire the look.

Remove the stops, Hoggy? What a frickin great idea!! I may have to do that too.

 

Maybe it's cause my front is dropped 1.5" too, but I can't park it slammed or it will tip over. Looked at shorter stands and man they ain't cheap. Some sort of center stand would be killer, but may have to settle for just bending my stock stand.

 

On a Rocker, the fender is attached to the swing arm, correct? If that's the case, the wheel doesn't get that "tucked-into-the-fender look" when you slam it, so it wouldn't be as important to slam when you park, I'd imagine...

 

Find a used cross bones or deluxe kickstand which is 1" shorter than most other softail kick stands.

 

Yeah, fender is attached to swing arm, and I have a bigger bump stop too so actually less travel than a regular softail. It does look better though slammed when the gap between the fender and the seat is gone.

 

Will the X-Bones or Deluxe kickstand fit a Rocker? I'd make sure before getting one. There is a rear kickstand out there, which may also be an option. I think Story808 has one on his Train. Those look wicked, but again, don't know if is an option for the Rocker.

Hey, UT-rckr. Whereabouts are you in UT? I used to live just south and west of SLC, right at 6239 s. and about 6000 w. almost up against the Oquirrh mountains, there, before moving to Japan 7 years ago. They didn't know whether my neighborhood was West Valley, West Jordy or Kearns, so we had an SLC address. I miss it a lot, sometimes. UT has some of the best places to ride. But I never owned a bike while living there...

 

What makes one move to Japan?!
I'm not knockin it. I've always wanted to visit.

 

I am about the same west, just further north. WVC, bordering Magna. The close canyons make for some great short rides. Doing a ride up thru Idaho, Montana and Glacier NP into Canada at the end of the month.

I think I am just going to keep the stock stand for the moment until I can figure out a short center stand option for parking it slammed. Maybe figure out a way to have both.
