Purchasing a used 2020 Rocket 3 GT - what to look out for?

I'm 5'9" and bought the GT, moved the controls back to mid position, used the leftover bits to install highway pegs, added the Rox risers, a tasteful windshield and voila, comfort like a lounge chair on the road and feels like a dirt bike when I want to play. Not everyone's taste, but I am missing the truck nut gene, am older, and comfort trumps looks.

Really curious on how you used the leftover bits to create highway pegs. I just got a GT that has the mid controls installed, and also got the bits. Pictures and explanations would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Hi;
I am considering purchasing a used 2020 Rocket 3 GT with 1700 miles from a dealer. They do not have its service history and the service light is on. It is all stock. I do not have a feel on the reliability of this bike, what should I look for or ask them to check to make sure it will not have major issues in the future? Not sure if it is still under Warrantee.
Thanks.

The nut, spacer and washer in pic 5 to prevent the bar from rolling forward were the main extra bits. I am surprised that someone hasn't made a kit that uses the OEM bits yet. It appears intuitive. I bought the footpegs from fortnine. Rubbers were removed from the old control arms to facilitate the footpeg install. I'm sure the cosmetics will be improved...I wanted to ensure they were functional first. They ended up in a traditional highway peg location and are comfy on the road Y'all are welcome to come over and have a look

Not just adjustments, but a change in configuration from front to back or vice versa. Triumph sells a kit that results in a bunch of leftover parts once installed. I can give you the part # and price if that is important.
