Default 2008 Rocker Pics! *Just Added Rocker C

**Note** You'll need to go to page 3 to see the photos now. Apparently Google removed the photos from their cache.


Softail Rocker C Chromed out from front to back, the Softail® Rocker™ C model adds an extra layer of style to the new features of the Softail® Rocker™ model concept. For starters, it offers all the breakthrough design features of the Softail® Rocker™ model, and all-new LED stop / turn / tail light that packs all the rear light functions into the turn signals. But it doesn’t stop there. It also boasts an exclusive flame job, cloisonné 3-D tank medallion, and – perhaps the most significant design feature of them all – an industry-first solo-style Trick™ seat, which conceals a passenger pillion and struts that magically transform the solo look into a surprisingly comfortable two-up ride. For high-style profilers looking to leave a lasting impression, there’s no better combination of style and functionality on any custom-style chopper on the market.

Softail Rocker Just as it seems the world of custom choppers is getting predictable, Harley-Davidson® breaks the mold once again with the radical Softail® Rocker™ model. Tied with the Softail® Deluxe for the lowest seat height (24.5-inches) of any production H-D® motorcycle, this new stunner takes riding in style to a new low. With a rear fender that mounts directly to the swingarm (with no visible fender supports), it faithfully reproduces the authentic lines of slammed, rigid-suspension customs, while delivering a modern, comfortable ride. Of course, its radical looks are what will make both riders and gawkers sit up and really take notice. An all-new satin stainless powder-coated color scheme on the tapered five-spoke wheels, bullet headlamp, triple clamp, custom finned "horseshoe" oil tank and elsewhere. Aggressively stretched front fork. Custom stretched gas tank with machined 3-D tank medallion. New shorty dual mufflers, with a sleek new bend. A big, beefy 240 millimeter rear tire. All-new LED stop / turn / tail lights that pack all the rear light functions into the turn signals, leaving only the license plate centered on the rear fender.

Hate the seat, and the tank looks wrong. Like the backend and the rake, tho.

Would look better with a standard style tank instead of the duece tank. Too much space between the seat and fender also. The C looks good tho!
