In 2008, Harley-Davidson released a factory chopper called the Rocker (with a chromed-out sibling called the Rocker C). Think of it as a Softail that’s been chopped as much as the NHTSA will allow. Motorcyclist magazine summed up the stock bike by saying “if you want hard-core chopper style without hard-core chopper headaches (or backaches), the Rocker is your ride.”
Differences for the C model are the addition of chrome finish (vs. satin) on several pieces, finned oil tank, and a color-matched swingarm.
Manufactured in February of 2008, this example is VIN: 1HD1JJ5168Y063866.
The odometer shows 5,577 miles.
