+1 on all above. Crazy amount of compliments everywhere I go.

My only real negative is the heat off that 96 motor. The summer's gonna be brutal. I'm curious if trying Amsoil synthetic oils for the next change will reduce some of that heat.

 

I've had my Rocker C since March

I like:
The way the bike looks geometrically.
The upgradability.
The wide rear tire


I dislike:
The gap between the stock seat and fender
The stock seat is horrible (especially if you leave the passenger seat stored)
The cheap pegs and plastic HD installed.
The polished wheels (they should have been chromed)
The mounting of none chromed bolts onto the chrome engine (low move by HD)
The rear wheel axel nut and bolt. (you got to be kidding...why does it protrude so far out?)
Cheap turn signals. These are the same ones from my Yamaha 100 back in the 80's.
No tach? What's up there? (I know HD sells the combo for $450.00 plus, give me a break)
Cheap material used on the seat.
Low horse power output

This is my first HD. I know it's all about the ride. Don't get me wrong, it's nice. But, I don't like being nickled and dimed to death. Prediction, I will probably buy a Victory Vision bagger and be totally done with the long distance bike in the up coming months. I know HD makes a lot of $$ selling aftermarket parts for their unfinished bikes, but for 22,000 plus the above mention deficits should not be present. Thank God for competition!

I don't want to make anybody sore by this statement, but it needs to be said.

 

let us know when you sell your ride in a couple of months & exactly why did you even buy h/d?
i know a dozen places you could have had a custom made for that

 

Don't get me wrong, I like the ride. It's just that I don't like intentional deletions by HD to induce revenues. Why would anyone chrome an engine and then place plain galvanized nuts and bolts onto the chrome?

 

some people like that look i guess and it lets you do what you want to your bike.. i agree they should have done more and your right they nickel and dime you but you know its still a harley and i love it.. they dont all have to be show bikes i guess.

 

[sm=icon_rock.gif] Me talking to my wife about my Rocker, my wifes the one with the sign.lol [sm=shutup.gif]

 

what up steve hows was your memeorial day bbq

 

Hey m i k e, The views were fantastic, no mist or fog. Me and the wife took a little ride with the church this evening 18 bikes. Rode to the oldest town in Tenn. ( Jonesborough) Ate at Gentleman Jims. My kinda burgers.(grease dripping off my elbows)lol. A lot of fun! glad I didnt work there.lol

 

I like the wheels and that not every part is chrome. It's not a bad looking bike at all. At first I didn't like them, but the more I see them the more I like 'em.

 

Ditto to all the positive posts! I lowered mine and also removed the stop but replaced it with a standard softail which I was told would work good, however after taking the wife for a ride, CRUNCH! I took the key ring off but the whole seat still hit the fender and made a nice dent. I lowered it 2" so I custom made a stop to the correct height to fix the problem. Other then that issue the bike rides the same and is awesome. I just got back from an 1100 mile trip over memorial weekend and the bike was perfect with no problems. 2500+ miles...
