If there was 2 things you could add or change on the Rocket 3 what would they be?

1. Reverse Gear - Since owning my R3T I've become an expert on parking lot topography, my topographical observational powers would be envied by professional golfers. Personally I think any motorcycle over 700lbs should have reverse.

2. Straighter bars on the touring. The pull back bars are meh when riding but a genuine hassle on slow speed maneuvering. Straighter bars would permit better leverage.
 
you would have to drill and tap the spleen it's self then screw in the nipple then it would be out of balance so you might want to put another nipple on the opposite side to get the grease where it should go, assuming there is enough room between the spleen and swing arm tube, then an access hole in the swing arm say 12mm diameter to line up with the nipple in the spleen and a plastic bung to cover the 12mm hole

Lost my spleen years ago to the big "C" :eek:

I put classic bars with Rivco risers on mine, cured the wrong handlebar angle for me. Probably not an option if you're short in the arms.
 
200 rear wheel .... adjustable footpeg rails ... with self cancelling indicators .. I know that's three but I couldn't decide which one to leave out ..hahaha

El senior Bleenker would like this!

I would pay extra for a reliable ignition/electrical system. I would not be surprised if Lucas is still playing a part in Triumph manufacturing.

Just having the option of buying a basic standard bike or the ability to add options such as color choice , hydraulic or wire , floor boards or pegs turn signal cancel or none so on.
 
(1). Tach,water temp, oil pressure package would be nice!!
(2). Put some clear coat on the rims. Even my 35 year old jap bike has that!!
Even with all short comings this bike has, I would not trade it for anything else!!!
