Rocky Raccoon
.040 Over
After putting on about 300 miles on my new (to me) 2008 Rocket Touring, I have noticed that this bike is NOT comfortable to ride like it is. Adjusted handle bars up a little, but there are not ways to adjust any other items. The stock handgrips are cr_p. My hands go to sleep after about 15 mintues..... My main issues are:
Handgrips
Floorboards way too high (makes me feel like I am in a crouch)
Stock seat too high.
QUESTION:
Do aftermarket ISO grips fit onto the stock handle bars and ALSO allow the locking throttle wheel to stay there and operate.... (this is a nice touch from Triumph)
Anyone ever play with lowering/Raising the floorboards to allow for better leg comfort?
What seat do you recommend that will be a little lower BUT also be comfortable for the long day rides I like to take (usually about 100-200 miles)
Thanks all
