    For Sale British flag for Rocket windshield

    My son made me this windshield cover, it's see through the kind of things they put on busses for advertising. Works great easy to put on and stays put. He had to make 2 so I have an extra one for anyone willing to pay to ship it, I will have to put it in one of those mailing tubes they sell at...

    Side car ????

    Once you put the side car on is too much trouble to switch back and forth ? Or do you just leave it on ?

    Side car ????

    I'm thinking about putting a sidecar on my '12 Rocket, I have to bring my grandkids (10 & 6) to school and summer camp every day for my daughter and it would be a great way to get to use my bike more and I think they would love it. Anyone out there have a sidecar, how do they handle, how do you...

    ABS light always on

    I cut open the covering and the white wire was cut, I then cut the blue wire slipped on some shrink tube and reconnected the wires. The light went out but the weather was bad so I haven't tried the ABS yet. Thanks for the help. Jeff

    ABS light always on

    A mechanic friend explained how ABS worked on cars and he thinks the same idea on bikes, he said it is a magnetic signal from both wheels that the computer reads to see a difference in rotation, so you must be right about the wires inside the tube. wsrvr, you said the ABS light went off, did...

    ABS light always on

    While riding the other day I noticed the ABS light on for the whole ride, I checked all that I could and noticed the small hose that comes up from the ABS rotor was pinched near the steering pivot just before it goes under the tank. I found that when the dealer set up the bike he didn't put the...

    Rivco Mirrors

    Thanks for the Ruzzle, checked the other thread and I'll be ordering the Rivco's soon, I think I'll go for the black ones sometimes chrome is over rated. I think I like the idea of swapping out the other blinker lamps with LEDs, any more info on what LEDs to get and what about this "electronic...

    2012 Rocket Roadster Out

    Picked up my '12 R3 three month ago and LOVE IT. Put on the low backrest/rack and still have to mount the hiway bars, I will also be putting on the oval mirrors to see better. The power is awesome, the most I've ever experienced. It handles like a dream too. I only had a choice of matte black or...

    want to learn

    I'm new to the rocket and want to know what are these "tunes and maps" everybody talks about. I figure they improve performance and hp but how do they work ? Some say you download them, does that mean you hook the bike up to a computer ? Please teach me, I have a lot to learn. Thanks

    Stalled ?

    I have a '12 R3 Roadster and was wondering if anyone else had this problem. We went for a ride on Sunday after about an hour we were 5 min from home and I slowed down, down shifted into 2nd to take a left and the beast just stalled. I didn't notice any weird sounds or anything, we got off and I...

    Motorcycle Lifts/Jacks

    Thanks for the pics, I'm gonna make a set at work. They look to be about 3"x3". With those in the center stand position does the other part of the lift arm still come in contact with the motor, or do you put something across the two lift pads to just lift from your attachments? Also how stable...

    Motorcycle Lifts/Jacks

    I'd like to see a pic of those brackets that work on the sears type lift. I'm also going to buy the center stand lift from flipmeister for quick jobs but those other brackets you have would be good for winter storage to save space in the shed.

    Motorcycle Lifts/Jacks

    I've had one of the Sears lifts for 10 yrs, it worked great on my '01 Vstar 1100 but I want to know if it will work on my new Rocket? Is it ok to lift and store the Rocket with all the weight on the engine?

    taking a poll

    It's been 11 years since I've bought a new bike but after buying a new R3 roadster a month ago I just cleared 500 mi. and brought it in for the first service, (oil, filter,and general check up) I thought it would have been a free service, but I was told it would cost about $190. How many of you...
