I thought for sure you were going to buy it for yourself. Next time just inform the mirror because guys on this forum move fast. If I find one in my area I’ll let you know.
Your legendary feat from years ago, Sacramento to Tulsa on a used Rocket you just bought with no windshield is still whispered from parents to their children late at night. You rode straight through Sac to Tulsa without sleep. Around my parts your name is whispered late at night as La Leyenda Del Cohete. I still get chills when I hear it.

When you find a good deal on a gt, i will repeat the it again, just to see if i still have what it takes

That is a great idea. Do you happen to know anybody who might have an extra one laying around ?

Mine is busy right now…

Looks good. I know they sound great. V-Steel has one ... two.

I was going to but Bill wanted it as well, being the good friend that i am, i let him buy it

I'm pretty sure you'd love one Lupe. Smiles per mile factor is off the charts. There will be others...

No problems with mine so far. On it now. Likin' it. 10k miles

What is that bag/backrest setup? I like the looks of it...and I'm sure I'd love the carrying capacity and the back support.

I sent my stock GT seat out to Russel Cycle products in Cali. I sent them an old Corbin backrest with it ,that I had kicking around for the last 20 years. They recovered it to match the seat. The bag is a Saddlemen bag. FTB 1000. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle...NEKACa-lQH-tI_kHM0n_zM2FWP_ZjHZUaAjV-EALw_wcB

Looked like this when I sent it to them. I was using a Marsee tailbag.

I take it you’re liking your new one? I knew you would!

Just to let you guys know about the 2023 Rocket 3 GT that Lupe posted about at the begining of this thread. I took my 2022 Tiger 900 GT LRH down to Texas over the weekend. Met with the Independant Dealer selling the bike and made a trade for the Rocket. We are now back home in Idaho and very happy. I asked @1olbull to design a new T-Shirt for the Gen 2 bikes. I ordered 2 of them from him.
