Looking to buy a rocket soon

You don't have to worry about me, I have no interest in a Rocket; been there, done that, have the t-shirt. I can't look at it either as I'm about as far from San Diego as you can get. My daughter lives in San Diego, but I don't think you want her looking it over for you. Lol
 
You mentioned you are 8 or 9 hrs from San Diego, are you in CA? if so what part?
 
Oh here she is by the way

Floorboards and chrome valve cover wher standard on the classic but could also be purchased seperately and fitted to the standard wheels look correct on my computer.

Its definitely a standard unless its been painted as classics are all two tone.
also notice it has Iso kuryakyn grips i also use these and love them.
only thing i can see from pic is the bottom silencer should be turned round a little to match the top one but thas just me being picky .

Also as Rocket Darrel said im fairly sure black engines didnt come out til 06 but maybe some did at the far end of 05 not totally sure
 
I'm up in Northern California in Rocklin, just moved here from Yuba City a little over a month ago there's bunches of great riding roads out here I can't wait to take advantage of.
 
Looks good. I'd say it's a Standard but the engine may not be the original. The red paint is the older colour that was used in 04, 05 so I'd believe the compliance plate on that score. Engine's probably from a Classic or it's had the chrome cover added. The boards aren't Classic boards but Triumph accessory boards that sit up a little higher. Bars look like Standard. Exhaust tips, Standard. Looks clean and tidy.
Do it!
 
they also came in a beautifull blue and white
