That's the furthest thing from a rocker that I've ever seen

I always hated the seat/fender set up. Other than that, it's okay.

I've ridden a lot of models, and the Rocker suits me to a tee. It turns heads everywhere I go and people photograph it continously. It rides awesomely. I love it. I'll never get rid of it.

It's just the "passenger" part of the seat, looks like an afterthought.

Put on a solo seat & it's a nice looking ride.

Agreed 100%. The one a few posts up is really nice.

Yup!
And it also ties really strongly into Harley heritage, the hardtails, without the punishing ride of a hardtail.

If anyone doesn't "get it", I can only feel sorry for them.
Like Sarah and others have observed, people "get it" all the time, except for a few unfortunate exceptions.

The Rocker C, Deuce, Breakout are all fantastic Softail platforms. They provide enough custom style in stock form and allow for unlimited modifications. I own an almost stock 01Deuce, and just can't see getting rid of it unless I ever go bagger.

Earlier someone said the Rocker was ahead of its time and though that might have been correct to some extent, the one model that everyone's building the most of these days are Cross Bones replicas.
Still, I love the Rocker for its chopper attributes and virtues. The MOCO hit a grand slam with the BO second time up at bat. But if I owned a CB (crossbones), there would 't be much else in upgrades I'd be lookin for to be satisfied.

The first rocker I ever saw was on the showroom floor...it had the weird seat AND was covered from front to back with grey powder coating...virtually no chrome...it looked hideous....I just searched google images...seems that everyone that owns one has gotten rid of the stuff I thought was "ugly"
