hello from Philadelphia

Hello everyone. I just officially joined here, but have been stalking for several years. I have been eyeing a Rocket for the last 10 years, but was finally able to snag one last week. I went from an '84 Goldwing to a 2017 Roadster and couldn't be happier. As many of you have often pointed out, I already have a list of mods I want to do, but they'll have to wait a little until I can save up some money. I love the wealth of knowledge here and am looking forward to being able to finally join the discussion rather than just dream about owning a Rocket.


Welcome abord.
Nice Ride

One of the first mods I'd like to do is to adjust the foot controls. I have arthritis and it's really cramped. I have been reading on forward controls (a lot), using classic rails/controls, etc. I found a thread here that discuss fabricating or some items that are now discontinued. Forward..but not to forward I like the idea of having some ability to adjust rather than just the FC17 forward controls. Does anyone know if I can fabricate a some rails like the company from Germany used to sell; how hard it would be to move my controls onto it? Or should I just keep looking for a set of rails and everything from a classic or standard? I would love to move the controls down at least an inch and forward 3 to 5 inches. I'm only 6'2" so not huge, but I still need to do something. Thank you for any input.

They come up on Bay, keep looking and here sometimes.

I like moving my feet around. The floorboards are perfect.

Welcome from south Louisiana. I see you already have cruising pegs. When I'm just cruising, I like to put my feet up, and use my heels to shift and brake. Might be an option until you get your controls moved.
I've been up there a few times visiting a R3 owner in Willow Grove. Have you been to New Hope? Fran's Pub is a great place to hang out.
