Handlebars

I likey the look of the Zemex, but they be only 25.6 inches wide and provide no measure of pull back.
For a Rocket, bars should be at least 34 inches wide, IMO.
I can't read the Fehling dope even though I am 100 of German extraction.

These bars (IF I can find a maker) will be dope on a Rocket!
A good combo for cruising comfort yet good control for hooning.
Somewhat similar to the Classic, but bar ends an inch taller and 2 inches farther rear.

While waiting to shift them all you will be able to decorate your home with a 'steampunk' pseudo hunting lodge feel with handlebars instead of antlers!

I'm pretty sure you can remove the bolt on caps and fit bar end weights (not the stock ones they need the internal fixed threaded bung as stated earlier) or bar end mirrors. May have to lose the throttle boss though. the grip design will minimise vibration anyway and the Rocket is not a big buzzer anyway. I've run aftermarket grips w/o weights on my 1.5" Thunderbike T bars since I have had it without noticing any vibration at all.

Currently have Oxford cruiser heated grips which similarly allow the caps to be removed and bar end weights or mirrors to be fitted. Just picked up some NOS bar end blinkers for AUD$21.60 (US$16) delivered that I will probably never use but you never know.

Absolutely - I was just making sure that Russell understood that. No offense to him - but the questions show a novice to the field of modifying stuff.

I think one or two of us are more adept/accustomed to MAKING/ADAPTING as opposed to BOLTING-ON. We forget that.

R3 DO ime have quite an evil tingle - it's actually ime a bit numbing after 150-ish kms at constant-ish 3500rpms. The options are - either VERY STIFF (oversize) Welded up bars (like T-Bars) or FLEXIBLE BARS with weights. Same principal applied to Long Barrels on match rifles. . Triumph Bars are very Solid and have Weights. It's not always a good thing - but they're not BAD. My home made bars are VERY VERY Solid. No weights needed. But had to swap them out when I screwed up my shoulder

I'm using Avon Grips. Better than Stock - no doubt at all. I don't like the ISO grips - bit chunky for me.
