Re: Mediocre headlight conversion question

The dual asymetric headlight setup is standard on the Rockster model. I don't think the Rockster headlights are plug-n-play on the Roadster, but they may be adaptable. I use the standard low seat with an Airhawk inflatable pad. I find it pretty comfortable. Thanks for the input guys, it is apprecia...
