Jeramy,
Thanks for the link. Saddlebags just don't look good on anything. I'd rip mine off my sporty, but they come in handy for transporting beer. Love the Rocker, but it just doesn't seem practical. I like hitting the road for a week and enjoying the world we live in.
I guess if I win the lotto and can afford a bar hopper I'll reconsider.

I don't like it.

It looks a discarded blueprint was found by some MOCO engineer while dumpster diving behing the Victory factory.

Ireally like the rocker. I refuse to spend that kind of money on a bike, but would love to have one.


As for carrying stuff -- my sportster came with bags and i didn't ride it even once before i took them off. They looked awful. When i need to carry stuff i take a backpack.

The only thing I don't like about the rocker is that damn seat. Cool idea about having the passenger seat removed and stored under the rider but just ugly.

I miss not having saddlebags but I do like the look of my bike without them. I need something to carry things in though. hmmmm

I think they look great. Awesome styling for those who never want to ride 2-up. If I was single and had to buy a bike all over again, I would seriously consider one of these models. But since I'm not and the woman likes to ride with me, I'm eyeing a Heritage Softail Classic. The Sporty just isn't cutting it as a 2-up bike.
