Here's the direct comparison between the front seats of Standard (FXCW) and Custom (FXCWC).

Very nice Wozza but where's my missus sit???? )

cool bike, i think they only look good setup with a decent solo seat. pillion setup just turns it shite.

Mr Kiteman when you and the misses are on board that weapon what is the clearence like between the seats and the guard ?, asking because here we have uneven roads, the hills are allways moving to say the least.

I'll have to check that for you mate......maybe get someone to take a pic for us. I'm sure there would still be heaps as I reckon HD would have used 2 average Americans to test it!!!! The side rails are SERIOUSLY chunky at about 3kg each so they ain't gonna break on you! I just got mine powdercoated black....looks better than that icky grey.

I'll upload some pics of the rear end.

 

Some pics with the black rails. I know it's not as cool with the full pillion setup fitted but it really is nowhere near as bad in rteal life as it is on pics!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here you go Iccer. Me and my other half, Darth Vader. She says the seat is much better than the Dyna rear seat. More comfortable and she can see over my head. Looks like heaps of clearance. Estimate is 76kg me and 63 her. I haven't got my Arlen Ness Lowering Kit fitted yet I reckon it could drop an inch quite safely. 

 

Hey Kiteman, looks good, thanks for the photos, i had mine painted in HD black, and i will tell you now when i recieved them from the states they are shocking, the struts had pits everywhere, tmax next for you keep us informed im watching the new TMAX forum.

NO Bike No Sig

I had my side rails powdercoated matt black too.......... doesn't really show in the pics. Mine was like yours, quite pitted... dunno why.... looks better black though. You could probably fill and sand and re-coat but probably not worth it.

Gday gents...i was checking out your blog, i had bought the Red rocker that was sitting on the floor in Frasers...can i pick your brains as to where you got your pillion seat set up?.....Cheers mite catch you's on the road one day.

Paddy, drop a note to me at

Hi all, Just wanting to know if anyone has done anything different with the rocker seat hear in oz. I really like that heartland conversion but just cant spend another 5K+ on it. I have seen a few US set ups that make it look better, I'm leaning towards something like this this one ..... http://www.jeffreyphipps.com/Rocker%20Seats_1.htm .... looks like I may even be able to use the pillion set up that kiteman has with it,

look forward to any new ideas, Dan

Good to see another company making a seat!! From the pics though it looks like this seat uses the 4 frame bolt holes that are used by the "C" seat and also by the Pillion setup. The Standard Rocker seat does not use these holes and looks pretty good for the price (around $200). I may be wrong, need closer pics.

Yuck Spew Vomit etc. Even if that Corbin seat was free I still wouldn't put it on my Rocker,what an abortion.

 

I'm with you philthy. The Corbin looks like the HD Softail Custom King & Queen seat that everybody detests!!

What we really need is the HD pillion setup but with less clearance between it and the rear guard. There is no need for as much clearance as there is in standard form. OK... so you may need to tell the pillion passenger not to put their fingers between the seat rail and the fender...............that'll be 2 million bucks compensation please... (

 

 

 

 

A fergie tractor seat complete with slightly used t-shirt folded up to make it comfy! 

Guy's as I ride a softail I am pretty happy with its look. I have come across a site that has the solutuion for the Rocker seat dilema. It is www.heartland-usa.com.au Looks awsome. Seth

the ass end looks like a normal softail with the heartland.

Dan,

Those pics of my bike on page 2 (with standard exhaust) are taken BEFORE the lowering kit was fitted. The gap drops about another 18mm with the kit. The ride is definitely harder though! The biggest reduction though is by fitting the Std. Seat.

 

 

How is this...... hope it works... http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb312/putsa_danny/PC081829.jpg
