I have a Rocker C in my collection. I love riding it on short trips, my commute to work is 20 miles and its perfect for that. More than that and I'll pick the street glide, but the rocker has its place.

One thing I always hate when motorcycle companies make their tanks and they have that chrome or whatever right down the center of it. It basically is means that if you want a good custom paint job on a tank you have to have a custom tank made. Otherwise it’s not going to be unbroken and not interfere with.

I never thought about that

I own a 2010 rocker c same color, I did a hawg halters wide glide triple tree with 3 degrees more rake. Plus I did the breakout wheels. And I'll say putting the 21 3.25 front tire on it made it handle wayyy better. Plus more rake it looks sharp. I love the bike but definitely not a long haul type of bike but I get asked and compliments on the bike everywhere I go. But yes the rocker c is for the nostalgia of it. Some people don't like it some people like me love it. But I rarely ride it. I have my cvo ultra for the daily.

Nice. I bet it’s a show piece

Yes, and to answer to the rake on the rocker. The rocker was and still is the only harley with the most factory rake. The only bike that comes close was the late model wide glides. But yes the rocker has the most rake from harley.

I have always loved the style of this bike. Would this be a good choice considering I already am used to riding a wideglide?

Youd be Surprise how similar they might ride. Considering the are both soft tails, The 240 rear tyre and extended rake will have to get used too. With that set up the bike will have a bigger Turning radius other then that it is a twin cam Harley

I used to hate it but it kinda looks good now, we definitely don’t have many here in Finland!

I wish they had featured the Rocker C more than the dyna in SOA.

@theinfinitryda 6 ай бұрын

Naw. It’s not a bike built for the type of riding they did in sons.

@foreigncorrespondent5140 6 ай бұрын

It's because of the rake in the frame called camber, and the long front end. It would wash-out on the mossy roads in my country.

@theinfinitryda 6 ай бұрын

Yeah. That rake sucks but the bike looks nice

I think it rides ok , it's not a triumph but it's a looker, love it

I do like the look but not a fan of how it rides

I see one on Facebook market place for just 7,000$ 2010. The bigger question is, is it worth it in the year 2024 especially for parts to keep it going

@theinfinitryda 3 ай бұрын

It depends but that’s a good price if it’s in good condition

@ryuhadouken2722 3 ай бұрын

@@theinfinitryda it’s got only 11,000 miles on it and the only thing I worry about is since it’s a old model there will be a lack of parts and people who are willing to to work on it

Can some Harleys considered as investment ? like people do with Rolex watches. Can you make a video about this topic ? and can this bike be considered as long term investment as it is rare already. Nice ride

@theinfinitryda 6 ай бұрын

I’ll see what I can do

@markp5173 5 ай бұрын

You don’t buy Harleys as investments. You don’t even by them because they are “great motorcycles”. You buy a Harley because you fall in love. And be careful selling one. I sold one (I won’t speak her name) after owning her 17 years…one of the worst decisions I’ve made. This is why some guys own more than one.

I friend of mine’s got one. Dude, you don’t ride it… you SAIL it. I kinda like the freaking thing, but it’s just weird to handle in curves and we have plenty of curves here. Not imposible… you can… but you somehow don’t feel confident when you do.

@theinfinitryda 6 ай бұрын

Well said. But it’s a good looking bike

@danconnolly2341 3 ай бұрын

I agree, at least at first. I have an 08 and the first handful of rides where I did city duty, I thought it turned like the Titanic skewing away from an iceberg...forever, and in slow motion. After a while though, it becomes much easier to ride and predict it's tendencies. One of the most enjoyable, uncomfortable and memorable bikes I have ever ridden.

I'd say it rides like a traditional Harley. A traditional custom.

Eh. Not really. But it’s an ok bike

My Rocker has 10 inch oversize stems with 14° rake, 16" apehangers and even further forward mounted controls. And it rides and handles absolutely fantastic!
