The front and rear axle caps are Heartland pieces.

I gotta say that I absolutely love my rocker. Bought the bike brand new and got one summer of riding in before I realized that the stock set up was not nearly as comfortable as it could be. The stock seat on it is about as uncomfortable as they come. Finally found a seat that I liked the looks of and also sat me down and back from the original position. That changed the entire set up of the bike for me. Instantly loved it. After that I put the apes on it which stretched me out even more and the comfort of the ride couldn't be better. Over all I have to say that the rocker is a really good bike. Fun to ride, and a lil bit different from your run of the mill harley. That's just my opinion. Hope it helps!
The rocker Im looking at is 2009 rocker c 6k miles, stage 1, looks pretty nice. I think it has a danny gray seat as well.
Think its a fair trade value: rocker c plus $3600 for the 2011 street glide 23k miles stage 1 ..
Will take a few rides and turns to get use to the rear tire but the style is nice and my wife approves of it. She doesn't care for the current old man style touing bike currently.

I agree, they're a dime a dozen for good reason too, very comfortable ride. I don't want to spend money on changing the wheels and fully decking it out. Rocker C I can add few more parts to and enjoy it and be unique

The Softails can ride about as well as the touring bikes. However, the Rocker has a bit less rear suspension travel than most softails, a harder bumpstop, and the mass of the large rear wheel and tire and fender moving up and down together, plus the low profile of the tire results in a bit rougher ride.

But a lot will depend on what you're used to. Our other bike has drag bars, and were both leaning forward quite a bit when riding it, and we're both OK with that too. The forward lean balances wind pressure at freeway speeds, so the wife's hands don't get as tired from needing to hold on tight to the grips.
Worst case scenario, if the Danny Gray seat puts you back to far, you can probably pick up a FXCW seat for around a hundred bucks. It doesn't look as good as the Danny Gray seat, but it's a lot less dorky looking than the FXCWC seat.

I agree with warp. I think you'll be fine with the Danny gray seat. I don't have one but everyone that I've talked to that does say they love em. And like warp said if you don't like it you can swap it back to stock. I've got one sitn in box somewhere that I'd be glad to part with.
And I think the trade you were asking about sounds fair as far as the money goes. You are right about spending a bunch of money to customize yours. It adds up quick! If that's the rocker you are talking about in the picture, that's a nice bike. Looks like it's already had some money thrown at it.
