Hi all, I'm Rob, back on a bike after 10 years without... feels like coming home. Last bike was a 2008 ZX-14R I purchased new... this time I wanted a cruiser... and found a 2020 Rocket 3 GT with 513km on it... the original owner had injuries that prevented him from riding it pretty much straight away, but he kept it in the garage for years before letting it go... I'm riding around Brisbane area, based northern suburbs, loving the mountain roads...
From stock, I have swapped out the ehaust for a Werkes competition slip on, altered the suspension per old mates Col & Zig as they inform us all of their wisdom (thanks guys!)... put in a DNA air filter and had a custom tune... went not bad... picture of dyno output attached... but here is the vid of the bike on the dyno from the tuner:

What I am wanting some advice on, is:
1. Headlights - want to upgrade. Out of all the options I have found here, and around, they are all unable to deliver to my location... which is pretty much Brisbane, Australia... has anyone in Australia got any recommendations regarding a headlight upgrade?
2. Seat - Been looking at the Corin seats - ~US$1000. Anyone have any experience with them able to give a testimony?
3. Suspension - After watching Col and Zig, I adjusted the settings to my weight @82kg - FR 2 1/4 turns out ; FL 2 7/8 turns out ; Rear compression 14 clicks out... and it is a lot nicer... but I would never have known how to do that... not something I have a feel of I'm afraid, at least, without advice... But moving on regarding the suspension... as I noticed an improvement in road feel with a little tweak, has anyone swapped out their suspension for something upgraded which made a world of difference? Would love to hear some testimonies... it is so hard considering to do it without first trying it...
4. Any recommendations other than the above before I start looking for more power?
5. What are the options for next stage power upgrade? Would love to hear what people have done, and what output they are getting!
