The new roadster

[gary g]

Hi men , thinking of buying a new roaster next march , but have a nice pair of powdercoated rocket 3 wheels here , any ideas if they will fit the roadster with the new abs !.
also are they any better power wise !! many thanks gazza.

They don't fit the Roadster. There are quite a few differences in the machining of the hub where the ABS rotor fits on the Roadster wheels. I guess there are going to be quite a few sets of powder coated wheels from standard Rockets appearing on eBay as new Roadster owners realise they can't fit their old ones to the new bike.
By the way .... it's sort of connected ... but does anyone know if the set of tins swap straight over from old Rocket to Roadster?

The Rivco rear chrome rack fits, & so does the screen...( if that helps..) as for the tins..

and what about the Utopia backrest ... anyone transferred one over yet?
