If you are looking for a different passenger seat I am not aware of any after market passenger seats like this. There is a 2up set-up you can get from Harley-Davidson for the Rocker. You would need the following parts:
  1. Touring System Strut Kit (53935-08)
  2. FXCW Solo Luggage Rack (53957-08)
  3. Passenger Pillion for FXCW Models (52959-08)
  4. FXCW Passenger Sissy Bar Upright (52804-08)
  5. Smooth Look Compact Passenger Backrest Pad (51782-07)
The least expensive place I have found to get these is Zanotti's. The only problem is that the struts are satin stainless steel powder coated like the FXCW.

This is the hot setup IMO, if you want the solo look while being easily converted to 2 up. I had the struts chromed to match the bike. It is very comfy for both me and the wife, and 4 bolts and 5 min. later, the whole back part comes off, and the solo seat stays. It is kinda different looking, but I think it's pretty cool.

No, not yet! They want me to send the fender to them and they will fix it. I'd almost rather find a used one.

I have been trying to imagine different seat configurations for my Rocker since I started customizing mine. My two up problem is solved as my wife got her license and I bought her an '84 virago to start her, ntm I gained wrench levels getting it road worthy.

I would really like to find/make a nice in-line oval or something old/new school for it.

I have been looking at the Heartland Rock n Bobber seat, but have not seen one in black or in person. I like the EZ Rock, but feel like its not really a Rocker without that fender goin' up and down. I do have sissy bar envy, guess I need to get to drawing board, or get over it.

I looked at the Corbin Widowmaker and thought it looked like a child saftey seat, lame that it damaged your fender Dragon, but I wonder if you would have been motivated to get that awesome fender gaurd if it wasn't so at least something good came out of the experience.

I feel like I sit on the back end of my FXCWC seat and my fat *** has broken the plastic clips that hold the back plate on the seat after a year and a half of riding that way. When it starts lookin' bad I guess I'll get motivated, but really would like some choices.

i'm lookin at changing the seat on my rocker c. its just too stiff and gets really uncomfortable after about 2 hours riding, even with a stop or two. wondering if the fxcw seat is the same way? the standard rocker seat seems appealing to me since it's quickly exchangable in case i plan on carrying a passenger and need to switch to the old one. however, the danny gray seat appears more comfortable to me. how long does it take to install the danny gray?

The longest part is removing the stock seat. The Danny Gray has two places (one on each side) that it is bolted to the frame.

I actually had the idea of the fender bib before I purchased the Corbin Widowmaker as I knew I wanted a side mount license plate.

Danny Gray seat is the best purchase I've made for my bike so far. Very comfortable.

The part number for the FXCW Seat is 51480-08 and you can get it through Zanotti's for $134.42 or Chicago Harley Davidson for $127.96. They also have one with the part number 51480-08A, also $127.96.
