Is this an Intervention??

It looks like I've stumbled upon the right place! I'm a lifelong motorcycle addict, currently residing in the "metromess" of North Texas. About to be the owner of a Rocket III (somewhere in the 2010-2015 range), after thinking about it for only about 13 years or so. I had ridden one at a Triumph Demo Day around 2010, and the fascination never quite left me.

I also have a Honda Valkyrie that I absolutely adore, a Street Triple 675 (my former instructor bike for the race track), and a KTM 690 Enduro R (the true hooligan bike).

Can't wait to get my hands on one! Looking forward to sharing my motorcycle madness with fellow inmates.

Just picked up a Rocket! 2017 Roadster with under 6k miles on the clock. Mostly unmolested, except for a few shenanigans.

Now the work begins - gonna get rid of that hideous exhaust and go with a nicer unit. Also needs a tail tidy kit and LED turn signals. Maybe different mirrors.

Interestingly, it came with Progressive Suspension rear shocks.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to consider upgrading the fork springs with progresssives. While you're in there replace the fork oil. Also have you adjusted your static sag? Depending on what version of Progressive shocks you have you'll probably need to fiddle the rebound or compression damping a bit (if equipped). A lot of people put upgraded equipment on their rides but leave them at factory settings, the ride is improved but not optimized.
