Greetings...

Welcome from another one across the ditch.

South Island this time.

I also have the 06 classic.
Got to love the power.
 
Hi Jason and welcome from cold northern England.
 
Welcome to the group from Cypress Texas. Enjoy the new ride.
 
Thanks everyone for the welcome.

I have now taken delivery of the 2006 Rocket. As this is quite an old bike (for me anyway, as my last couple of bikes I have bought new) I am looking forward to having a good old tinker!

Here is a list of items that I plan, some already in progress in that the bits have been ordered:

Change indicators
LED Headlights
Re-position number plate and indicators to clean up rear fender
New custom screen, I'm tall and need a bit more aerodynamics that the small stock screen provides
Improve seat comfort
Custom paint

If there are any mods that you guys think are an absolute essential, please feel free to comment.

It already has an after-market exhaust system, not sure what it is as there are no markings but it is a 3 into 3 system that sounds quite good with a lot of angry popping when engine braking!
 
Welcome from NW Louisiana! For me on long hauls... adding a backrest to the seat gave me a 200 more comfortable miles.

Hi Michael

The seat with the backrest slot is available, but strangely, the back rest isnt! How screwed up is that? It seems like there are much more options available in the good old USA, shipping is murderous for us here in Oz!

The local dealer in Christchurch has picked up 19 pallets of older Rocket stuff and has the back rest and seats.
Also running lights brand new in the dusty box manufactured 06 for $300 NZ half price.

Waiting for them to sort out what they have and do a bulk buy for even more savings.

Don't no where it all came from but have heaps.
