    Front Tire Choices

    Are there any specific changes in rider profile or handling you can speak to? I have almost 10k on my avons and I’m going to have to get new tires soon so I’m really torn on which way to go since avons aren’t an option any more.

    Custom 18x9.5 wheel with 280mm tire on ChrisMooreMafia’s Rocket

    Ok, I wasn’t sure if he was still selling them as I tried to contact him once via email but didn’t receive a response.

    Custom 18x9.5 wheel with 280mm tire on ChrisMooreMafia’s Rocket

    Where did you source the rim from and was it necessary to grind the swingarm or any other adjustments?

    Rocket is not a motorcycle one can ride in shorts

    That’s a little harsh to be pulling kids over 😎

    Rocket is not a motorcycle one can ride in shorts

    I think the last bike I rode while wearing shorts was my Huffy when I was 7 or 8.

    Insurance costs

    For me it’s not much different than my Indian scout though I’m sure it’s slightly higher due to it being newer and a higher msrp. I’m an old fart though so I have a long, and relatively good, driving record.

    I've noticed with the Rocket.....

    I definitely have gotten a fair amount of complements on my Rocket, even when stopped at an intersection. I’d say overall my Indian Scout has received far more, but I have had it longer and I have a custom paint job which makes it more unique. Compliments are nice, but at the end of the day is...

    Thinking about getting the BT moto tuner for my 2025 rocket

    Completely agree and you are right of course; a custom tune on a stock bike will make less difference and most of the gains do come from removing factory restrictions. To split fine hairs, there still could be some potential improvements to timing for your specific bike and other things for a...

    Thinking about getting the BT moto tuner for my 2025 rocket

    Agreed. I also am not personally familiar with the tuners for the 2.5 rockets and if there is software that allows you to edit your own tunes. Scouts are tuned via a PV3 so I have my own tuner that I can use to flash different tunes whenever I want and the ability to modify tables with fueling...

    Thinking about getting the BT moto tuner for my 2025 rocket

    Just based on my experience in extensive tuning with my Indian Scout, I think it could be a good option if you don’t have access to any good tuners in your area. Just understand that these tunes modeled on a different bike are “canned” in the sense that it’s not for your personal bike and may...

    Where do we find tires for our Rockets ?

    I could manage riding a scooter too lol but that doesn’t mean I have any desire to.

    Where do we find tires for our Rockets ?

    I’m not looking forward to when I have to change mine. Most people talk about the exedra max but I’m already on my tip toes as it is so raising the bike up higher is a no go for me.

    Why are people selling their Rockets?

    I can’t even comprehend anyone thinking there is too much power, ever 😎

    Another Exhaust Thread (Vandemon Headers) with Installation Pictures

    Just out of curiosity, is the clearance between the exhaust and tire the same as stock or do you think it’s closer? I was just wondering if those 18inch 280/35 custom rims would still work with the vandemon.

    Custom Tune in California

    That’s awesome, keep us posted and maybe we can grab a beer or something while you’re in town. I’m hoping vandemon puts on a sale again for the holidays and then I will grab up their header and exhaust and try to get it all done next spring.
