Don't like it at all. Looks 'unfinished'.

That's a big improvement.

My buddy has one and he's dumped over 10k into making it his and he still has not come to being completely satisfied, he is going to add a RKC to the stable because he is just not as happy with the rocker. Must be nice to have $ to let sit like that.

Let's be honest guys! If you're over 45 then HD couldn't give a stuff what you think as you're mostly old farts who are too narrow-minded to open your minds to a newer bike style, the pro-street bike. Stick with your big chunky bikes fitted with ugly boxes and bags and let the younger guys enjoy the new world. Just 'cos YOU think they're uncomfortable doesn't mean that it's a fact of life for everyone else. Maybe you're just fat! I find mine more comfortable than my WideGlide and my missus agrees (with her accessory pillion setup).
Personally, I wouldn't be seen dead on an Ultra-Classic, they're old fart bikes! Like Gold Wings. As for those butt-ugly Road Glides/Street Glides I am amazed that they ever sold a single one of them!

Normally, I wouldn't bother to post something negative about other riders' machines but after 12 pages of knocking Rockers you can all go get stuffed! You DON'T have a monopoly on good taste! Get a life!!! You'll be in the grave when I'm still enjoying my Rocker!!

So are you saying that it's because people older than you they hate the Rocker, because you may have missed this post:

There's no need to make personal attacks against people because they don't like your model bike. I saw an old, fat person on the one Rocker that showed up for Biketoberfest, and he seemed happy, and also saw over a hundred young, skinny guys and gals on Ultra Classics and Road Glides.
