I love the Rocker and think its a great looking bike. I am waiting to see what kind of mods the more creative minds come up with for their Breakouts .
I know someone will build one that will make me want one enough to pull the trigger .

I like 'em both. The Rocker probably stands out in a crowd a little better than the non-CVO Breakout.
It mounts a fender to fender struts, more like a conventional Harley (and the same as the Breakout), instead of having the fender mounted to the swingarm.
But having the fender mounted to the swingarm is such a unique thing, and the only way to get the fender that close to the tire without riding slammed, that I'd be reluctant to give it up.

Is that a spring seat in your photo? If so, which one is it, what did it take to put it on there, and is it higher than the FXCW seat? My wife really really wants one, but she can't handle much more seat height.

I would never give up my rocker man, especially since it's paid off already !
I do like the breakout though. The high rear fender and the headlight are the only things I don't like off the bat.
I wish my rocker had that bigger motor though.

I remember when I first took notice of the Rocker C. How I wanted one. But, the price tag was just too high. I still think it's an awesome bike. But after owning my Breakout since March, I am so glad this bike came out. Plus the Breakout's price tag didn't cause me to walk away. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Breakout is very similar to the Rocker C. Now, would I give up my Breakout for a Rocker C, heck no.
