The front and rear axle caps are Heartland pieces.
Dennis also makes some nice ones,

Thanks for the reply, there doesnt seem to be may rockers floating around these forums. I also like that fact that you hardly ever seem them around town, the unique factor and standing out is nice. I love the street glide for sure but I'm somewhat still young at 31 and do miss a cruising bike. I bought the street glide wanting to go on longer trips but wife doesn't care for it. I'm perfectly fine riding around town and not going for 500 plus mile rides a day.

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.

 

Go for it. Street Glides (and look-alikes) are a dime-a-dozen. Our Rocker gets a lot of attention, especially when my wife drives it!

 

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.

 

The one I tested had the stock seat on it, the length was pretty much right. Could possibly have 2" to spare. I'm 5'9" the bike I'm looking at the danny grave sseat and sits back about 3-4 inches. You think I'll be okay

 

I'm guessin' you will. I'm slightly taller than you, and my wife is a little shorter, and we both do OK using the FXCW seat, which puts us back and down about an inch compared to the FXCWC seat.'

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.
