Rocket III in Manhattan or NYC?

Does any of you live in Manhattan or NYC? I would appreciate any tip about where do you take your R3 for service, or where can I get stuff for my bike.
I am looking for saddlebags and also for a seat, but I find it is really hard to find any place for this in Manhattan.

Thanks a lot,

MA

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question but I have one for you. How do you do it? ride in the city that is, I've ridden in NYC a few time and man it was freeky I was almost ran over like 4 times by Taxi Cabs.

And the pot holes can realy ruin your day not to metion your bike. I live in southern CT only about 45min away from the city so I we go there to shop and hang out all the time but never again on a bike. I guess I just dont have the nervs of steel that it takes

I live between Europe and NY, and I also ride a bike over there. So, traffic and taxis, I can handle. But you are right, the potholes in the road, that is really crazy. I have a BMW trail over there, but I guess I should change bikes; the roads here in Manhattan are more suitable for an off-track bike.
Hey, do you have any saddlebags or any other accesory in your R3? I need to put some stuff in mine and I donīt even know where to start.
