Hey All!

Just brought home my Rocket GT yesterday, love it so far (except for getting destroyed on the highway, but i have a windshield on order). Are there any "must do" quality of life mods? For instance, when i had my VRod, just about everyone upgraded to a K&N, removed the baffles from the exhaust for a better sound, etc.. Any common trends with this bike?

Thanks!

Lou

Union Jack looks sweet although my imagination runs wild sometimes and the Triumph badge a giant failure. Just placed it on for fun and a pic. A decent windshield for me is the Powerbronze although it's not a whole lot better than the OEM. It works for me though.

I think the horn is a MUST mod. The stock horn is embarrassing on this bike. Denali Sound Bomb Mini from Amazon ($30) tucks right in where the stock horn came out with a little creative bending of the mounting bracket that comes with the new horn.

I haven't read about any higher flow air filters yet.

Does the soundbomb mini need any additional wiring/fuses or just plug and play, other than the bracket modification.

The sound bomb is plug and play. Just unplug the two spade terminals off the stock horn and plug them back onto the soundbomb.

I've got mine, but it's sitting on the shelf because the unique shift lever needed for it is on backorder . I haven't read a single review of someone who's installed it though that didn't absolutely love it.

I just bought the full sound bomb split kit with wiring harness. Will report back. Was embarrassed by the horn and wanted to scare the children and animals more.
