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.

Nice! Good luck with it. I just got home from riding mine in this lovely summer weather we're having here.

Yes. We are taking the GT out today for its first shake down ride. I did a major service on it yesterday. I hope we are making video today.

It might take a few weeks to get a riding video out but there is the Texas trip video to pickup the bike coming up on April 21st. I'll link it to this thread when I release it.

So far 5 farkles installed. Can you see what they are ? More are on order. I will start a new thread to follow the bikes evolving into farkle land.
