East Coast Super Rockets
- 4-gallon tank standard (did have the 2-gallon as option for '58 & '59, 3-gallon '60 on)
- Rubbers knee grips on tank
- Eastern type "Twin-Solo" dual seat (wider, softer, and longer for the highway touring habits of the Eastern Market)
- Handle bars featured the "Laconia Bend" sweeping handle bar contour for comfort and control


West Coast Super Rockets
- 2-gallon tank standard (for 1958 and 1959) and 3-gallon special sport tank for 1960 to 1963 (Note: conflict in literature, one catalog (for 1958-59) list the special sport type 3 gallon tank as standard for Western model).
- No rubbers knee grips on tank
- Sports type "cushionaire" dual seat (slimmer design more suitable for off-the road sports favored in the West)
- Handle bars designed with a "Gunter Bend" smooth shaped design

So I found this posted on the Super Rocket mainpage, and am quite interested to hear more about the western states seat?  I wonder if its what I have on my bike and maybe it's not total aftermarket chopper crap as suggested by some wink

anyone have any other pics of the cushionaire?

here's mine again just cause I like to post it's pic wink
