It's amazing to me how much it resembles the Sportster.
It's a nice looking bike (the solo version anyway), but I don't see any similarities between it and a Sportster. Exposed vs hidden shock. Hard-tail style swingarm vs U-shaped swingarm. Lots of rake. Color matched frame. Looks like a modified Duece if anything. Duece is gone and this appeared...go figure.The "C" model is hideous IMHO.

I dont like the custom that much I like the finish on the regular rockers parts. I'd have a regular rocker in red before a rocker custom in any of the other colors but then again i have wierd taste.

I think it is awesome. I love the raked front end and the hardtail look. The only thing I would have to change is the seat to make it go back to touch the fender.
But then you'd lose the rigid-look softail suspension. The seat can't be attached to the fender....

Most customs use the spring style seat rather than what HD came up w/for the Rocker. I suppose the Rocker's seat is more comfy than mine!

I think the rocker is gonna be the star in the line up for 08 and the fugly rear seat will be really nice once you put a nice seatcover on it and when you dont have yer fancy pants seatcover you can tuck it outta sight. I think it will grow onfolks who think its ugly. Maybe its like oysters and beer, no one likes them at first.

The rocker is ugly as sin. I think someone is going to get fired for that one, or atleast should be. Now the Fatbob I like

I think that seat would be way better if you used a spring style solo andattached it directly to the frame. Also, either a classic style Sporty or Fatbob tank would be nice. It is an excellent starting point for a kicka$$ bike. It just needs a little help. How many people leave their bikes stock anyway?

It's a nice bike but I hate that godawful seat on both the custom and the regular one. Hideous! If you stick a regular seat on it, it's going to look just like every other chopper out there like Big Dog, American Ironhorse, etc. I still think I prefer the SE CVO Dyna better......
