Harley Davidson FXCW Softail Rocker (2008)

Harley Davidson FXCW Softail Rocker (2008)

The 2008 Harley-Davidson FXCW Softail Rocker is a rebellious ride that defies convention. Its Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection system provides seamless power delivery, while the 1584cc Twin Cam 96B engine roars to life with a distinctive growl.

As you settle into the solo saddle, just 24.5 inches off the ground, the V-Bar handlebars and forward controls put your body in a fists-forward position, ready to carve up the road. The Rockertail rear end is a masterstroke of engineering, providing 3.4 inches of travel while maintaining an authentic hard-tail look.

With its brilliant paint job contrasting against a Satin Stainless Metallic finish on the fork lowers and other components, this bike exudes raw power and unbridled attitude. Whether you’re cruising or carving up twisties, the Rocker’s rigid-mount engine and 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission deliver exhilarating performance.
