Default Fender Pillion Pad for Rocker

http://www.jpcycles.com/product/800-141

has anyone tried something like this? On a rocker C i have a feeling the ride would be rough to say the least. do you think a girl with a little padding on her backside would be able to ride this without complaining too much?

If it is on a stock fender she will get a hell of a ride

Are you running a stock fender? If so I would avoid it. Not only will she be bouncing around with the rear suspension but I also doubt that the mounting points on the stock fender are strong enough to bear the weight of a person. I have a suspicion that your fender would break at the mounting points leading to an accident as well as expensive repairs. Talk to your dealer if you think you can use it. But consider how both the Rocker C trick seat and the optional passenger seat for the Rocker from Harley both fasten to the frame of the motorcycle and hold the passenger OVER the rear fender, not on it.

Skeezmachine is right! The stock fender does not have the support for a passenger.

If you want a passenger with the stock fender and not th flip out C option, then get the touring kit from HD. A pillion pad on the stock fender WILL NOT WORK

Bitchin Seats makes a setup to reinforce the fender to support a passenger.

They also make a sissy bar that a pad can be added to.

I can't imagine a comfortable ride for her though with that type of setup.
Like riding on a pogo stick every time the suspension adjusts.
