It has the footpegs back in a more normal position. The bike approximates a "standard" like I grew up with, rather than a cruiser/boulevard bike.

I road a Roadster and was instantly pleased with the peg position. Just the right bend in my knees.

Finally!,.. a Rocket III with pegs like all the standard bikes I have known and loved for 50 years.

I get quite annoyed with the poser-esque "forward" controls. They put more of the weight of your legs on your butt, reduce the control you have over the bike, force you into an unnatural sit up and beg riding position, and (opinion) look silly.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

Are you going to re-jet, seat mod, Harley muffs, K&N filters, Big Crank, de-badge, bob job, Dunlop 404s? Good for you! Enjoy, and don't forget us little people.
