Hello Ladies and Gentlemen
The Rocket III Stole my heart the moment I walked in the dealership here in Dubai, UAE.
After some research I found the touring version which was spot on to my needs (saddles, screen ..etc. for long, cross-border rides)
Unfortunately, the dealer told me they stopped making them a couple of weeks before
My only two choices now are:
1- Buy one from the US (located a few pieces here and there at dealerships in the US, can get it shipped over here and pay an arm and a leg for shipping plus wait about 6 weeks and I am really itching for the bike now, besides riding season here is all year minus summer)
2- Buy a Rocket 3 Roadster from here, and "build" my own Touring version by adding saddle bags, windscreen, engine guard .....etc.)
My question is : any other differences between the roadster and the touring editions?
and is this second idea feasible?
