Rocket III Touring
Hi,

I just bought a 2010 Rocket III Touring on which the previous owner installed many upgrades, including the Long Haul dual touring seat plus rider backrest. I don't like the backrest though, so I removed it and now have the ~2" square hole in the seat where the backrest was installed. I see in pictures on the net that the seat would have originally come with a plug in that hole but the plug doesn't seem to be sold separately. I'm not able to contact the previous owner to see if he still has it because I bought the bike from a dealership where he had traded it in on something else.

So... Do any of you happen to have that plug sitting on a shelf in your garage after having bought a Long Haul and installed the backrest? Or any idea where I might be able to buy one?

I'll also have a couple accessories for sale but didn't see a "classifieds" type forum on the site. Being new here I figured I'd ask what the custom is for that. If I have a gigantic windscreen and a pair of highway pegs that I've taken off my bike, is there a place here where I can offer them for sale to some other rider who might want to make use of them?

Thanks!

Look for Classifieds next to Members just below the logo.

I have the plug, you can have it. Do you plan on selling the backrest?

pm me your address.

Derp. Not too observant, I guess. I clicked on "Forums" and scrolled through those expecting to see a Classifieds forum in there. Reading the entire main menu before I've had enough coffee in the morning is apparently too complicated for me.

Awesome! Thanks. And yes, I think I do probably plan on selling the backrest but I want to wait a bit to make sure that I like the seat without it. I should know after taking a couple roadtrips later this month.

pm with my address is on its way.
 
I bet you will find someone looking to swap long haul seat and back rest for standard if you ask around

Tim, I don't think I have my plug anymore. I did not like the backrest either after buying my touring seat from a member here. I had my local seat guy melt that hole out and recover my seat so the hole would be going forever and he did the same for my solo seat.
