About 4 years ago I traded my beloved 2005 Rocket III for a 2020 Triumph Bobber. The weight the bike was putting on my knees was making it too painful to hold up, so with a lot of angst and dread I traded the bike. Last week I took my son-in-law's forks over to Monkey Moto in Argyle for seal replacement and discovered they are now a Triumph dealer. Bottom line, they let me sit on a brand new Evel Knievel GT edition Rocket 3 and the weight was gone from my knees! The bike felt 200 pounds lighter than my 05 model and it sat a bit lower too (had 1 inch over sized Hagons on my 05). Trouble. Now I wanted one. So long story short I'm buying a 2023 Rocket GT tomorrow. The kicker? The bike has less than 150 miles on it (the guy bought it on a whim).

That is real nice. My favorite color scheme. What wind screen is that ?
 
Yes, I'd like to know what sort of screen it is too, think I may of found it. Look at the top corners of the one in the link, they're the same as the one above. Doesn't really show the upward kick very well though. Have a look, what do ya reckon?
