    Hi All,
    I have been hanging around here for a while but have never posted so play nice!
    I made the mistake of selling my last Triumph 1050 Sprint about 2yrs for a B*W K1200R!! I very quickly got rid of the B*W and bought a Honda CBF1000 for my penance. Actually the CBF is very good but boring.
    I have ridden several Rocket 3s and want one. I can not afford a post 2009 Roadster but that is the riding position I want. I know that Triumph raised the seat height and moved the pags back and down for the Roadster so my question is how exactly did they do those mods?
    has anyone done these mods to an early bike (2004 to 2008)?
    over to you!

    Hi and welcome to the forum.
    Selling a triumph and buying a B*W is always a mistake ( there may be two people on here who disagree) but you saw the error of your ways! :D
    Hopefully a Rocket owner will be able to help.

    I can't help you with your question but welcome to the forum.
    You must seek forgiveness for crossing the uncross-able line to the German Manufacturer whose name must not be mentioned! o_O :rolleyes: :p

    :) Get the Rocket that you can afford :p
    Then see if you can get used to it the way it is....you don’t say if you’ve ridden both?:confused:
    If not then have a look at your mates Rocket and see what it would entail to copy his bikes set up :p can’t think that it would be too difficult to achieve :)
    This way your not depriving yourself from the Rocket experience while you source the parts that you need :cool:

    Thanks guys. I have ridden both early and late rockets as well as thunderbird storm and LT just to be sure.
    Dilligaf does appear to make some sort of sense.
    I hereby swear never to mention B*W again. I sure as hell will never own one again.
