    Engine quits at 65

    Thought I'd throw in that the early Rockets had a ignition switch recall. Mine would die at interstate speeds. They replaced the switch and connector with a different model.

    About to go Dark Side for first time

    The size is the same as the Goodyear I'm running. Indy 500 Wide Oval and it has a much better ride than the Riken Raptor I had before. Got 24K miles on the raptor before it started drifting often. The only problem I've had is getting it mounted. The newer rims with a recess for getting the bead...

    Gripes from my Hot Springs trip

    Hot Springs Blues I had a bad trip to Hot Springs also. Picked up a nail and screw there. The mech at Terry's Bike shop couldn't make a patch seal and I wore out a Avon AV72 running around town at 20 psi. Couldn't wait 5 days or so for a new one so went darkside as an emergency move. I used...

    Road Peg Angle

    I have the RIVCO engine guard on my bike. The mini-boards I want mount on the guard slope downward due to the V like angle of the engine guard. Does anyone have a fix for this?

    Handlebar Riser Install

    Riser install I love the riser in mine too. But a mech moved my clutch cable without letting me know and it developed a hole in the outer rubber. I went to a local dealer (H-D) and ordered a 3" over Stainless braided cable from Barnett. It is a good investment. I think 2" over stock wil be long...

    Bags for R3

    Mutazu Bags and trunk I have the Mutazu Trunk and 8" hard cases on my R3 standard. The only issue I have is that three time I have hit a bump or pothole and the items inside the bag hit the door causing it to pop open. This is due to soft metal in the lock cylinder where the latch bar is fit...

    Metzeler ME 880 Marathon XXL Rear Tire

    Don't like the 880 Metz The metz does not let you know when it is breaking loose. I went from a Honda Valkyrie to the R3 std. The higher weight distribution was a little hard to learn when it came to stopping. I found the back end coming around without any notice when running the Metz 880's...

    Throttle sticking Idle probem.

    think this LED lite will fit?

    Won't fit As stated above, the entire lamp unit must fit through a hole from under the fender. This lamp won't go through the hole. If you got the idea from Custom Dynamics, I got the rotating / pulsating LED, item # 01261 from them. It is small enough to go through.
