    My attempt to make the GT an actual GT

    Exactly. Anyway, to each his own. But if i wanted a tourer, i’d buy one of them, too. May happen. My rocket gt is what it is, a big fricken power cruiser that by virtue of it’s easy drivability, i can take on regional trips, little panniers and all. Just personal, but i think bikes loaded up...

    Researching a Rocket 3 purchase

    As to the Mrs., i learned this the hard way: If she says she’ll never ride on the back of a potential bike purchase, her first question when you bring the new R home will be, “But where do i sit?” You know better. As to the rest, personal preference. Am 5’8”, long arms, and find the GT bars...

    Pannier mounting hardware - black?

    Did same this winter. Indistinguishable from the factory black finish (my GT pillion backrest hardware is factory black.) Have used cerakote a lot on bobber parts and now the rocket. The big upside is not only durability, but it’s thickness is negligible, so doesn’t affect fitment as sometimes...
