Don't like the Rocker one bit. The rear end just doesn't look right and the tank/frame angle looks under-designed with that funky rear end following it. Nah!

Now, the Crossbones is another thing. Love it.

How does the fender move with the seat connected? i seached "Heartland" and "Rocker seat conversion" and found nothing.

I like it with the Heartland fender conversion. But I do not like the stock rear fender setup at all.

Now that is an improvement, sort out the tank with a 2" lift and it'll look less like it was designed by someone with multiple personality disorder.

Rather than spend thousands on deveopment, all Harley's designers had to do was modify the Deuce's rear fender and rib the oil tank.

The rocker is a joke. poor design and worse proportion. You have to wonder how those richardheads in the suits get there nose so far into the design department. Would not take a free joy ride on one, thanks.

To each his own and I would never rag on somebody else's bike, but I don't care for the look of them at all. To be brutally honest, if somebody gave me one, I would sell it or trade it for something I wanted.

But some people don't like my Springer, either.
