    Would you part ways with your Rocket?

    Sadly, and with great despair, my short relationship with my 2008 R3T is coming to a close. In the past 3 months, the clutch cable broke at the clutch handle, within 1 month, the lifter inside the clutch housing "twist" snapped in 2 pieces. And the just last week, something in the housing of...

    Clutch life?

    I have a 2008 R3T. Bought used with 21K miles. Just under 22k miles, the clutch cable broke. Had it replaced. Another 500 or so miles and when I tried to downshift from 4th to 3rd, the beast wouldn't go. I forced it before running out of room. Moved over to the turn lane. Pulled it into a...

    2012-No Headlights, tail running light, all fuses good...Now what?

    Awww, the Lucas electrical system strikes again. I changed out the lights to LEDs, and all of a sudden, couldn't get the HWY lights to come on (after) about 2 months. The problem is somewhere between the switch and the headlight. My rear left blinker went out. Bought a replacement bulb (easy...

    Got a flat on the way to the office this morning...

    Yeah, the pic is crazy. I wouldn't think that "dry rot" would be a problem in HI. But stranger things have happened I'm sure. I have a 2008 R3T and a "01 VALK that has Shinko tires, front for both of those bikes. I have a Good Year TripleTred on the rear of the VALK, a "205". And as soon...

    You have installed the Ram-Air, and checked your oil breather tube, I'm sure. I made the mistake of putting a single mustang seat on which didn't have the proper airflow. Then I did the Ram=air, tune, and removed the airfilter under the seat. It is now where I'm going to put an alarm system...

    New Shield Plastic - Any Recommendations?

    Camptc: I read your post with a "road Kind" fairing that will fit on the Touring and over the AUX/HWY lights . I was wondering if you could send some pics. And is there enough room for a GPS/ AM/FM short box Marine Clarion CMS5
