2019 Rocket 3 GT - thoughts?

[Starr]

Hi guys! Thanks for letting me join. We used to have a 2005 Rocket 3. It was amazing. We are now looking at a 2019 Rocket 3 GT.

My husband test rode one, he had issues getting his foot under the gear stick. I hopped on the back, it felt really squishy.

I wondered if anyone knows, can you actually make the gear stick longer? Can you get a bigger passenger seat and have the sissy bar further back?

We rode away from our wedding on our previous Rocket 3. It was just magic! Wish we could get it back!

Location: South Australia

The shifter is adjustable. Don't let that stop you.

As for the seat and sissy bar there are no other options I've heard of. The 2.3s are better suited for two up and carrying loads, although with a more streamlined system I camp regularly off the 3R with all the necessary gear.

Shifter Adjustment

An extra step may be required to get the shifter adjusted to your liking. I changed boots and after three attempts (each time thinking I must have gone the wrong way somehow) I finally took the lever off the gear shaft itself and rotated it. Otherewise, I was unable to get the lever above foot...

You could get Corbin double, wider and even heated seat but the back rest is in the same location (uses the same fittings) just wider a bit. Wife says its more comfortable than a standard one but truth to be told not as comfortable as 2.3 rocket double seat with higher backrest.
Please see pictures for comparison

Shame you can't fit the 2.3 rocket double seat with high backrest on the 2019 gt.
