Shocks

Triumph sells the Low Seat for the regular R3. Don't think it's for the Classic. It will lower you about 3/4". BTW, the Classic bars are more swept back than the non-classic R3. I'd recommend Rivco risers. As always, just my 3 cents.
I have a 30" inseam and can flatfoot the bike easier with the Low Seat than with the stock seat. I'm still sitting on the front of the seat, though, so I hear ya on that. If you need back support, check out the Utopia backrests. Very good product.

I weigh 260# (how in the hell did that happen?) and am barely 6' (5'11" and some change). (Hand me another beer would ya?) I got the Progressive 440's stock length, (I think that is 12") and STANDARD springs and am delighted with the handling. It really settled the bike down on the the twisties/ramps. Two large people might need heavy duty springs, but for me, one up, standard is the way to go.

I've put a couple hundred miles on mine and have got them set up pretty good
and love them.

For anyone having trouble in getting info on Wilbers shocks, their website is in German. Here are links to the two models they recommend for the Rocket:

Model 630: 630 in English
MSRP 799 Euros ($1021)


Model 633: 633 in English
MSRP 1199 Euros ($1532)

Can any Wilbers owners out there confirm my suspicion that these shocks are made from a material only found on the moon? I think these are priced per pair.

Wilbers owners: From whom did you buy your shocks and how much were they?

Oh yes they are expensive with a capital E .
High quality combined with what I think are exquisite looks .
More adjustment than you need , much like a sports bike .
Look different to what a cruiser would normally have
