    After market mirrors

    I actually just purchased some 2010 triumph thunderbird mirrors, they sit quite a bit lower than the Mickey mouse ears on my 2014 roadster they are by no means smaller on the mirror but I think they will look a lot better . I attached a pic just for reference on what style. They are about half...

    Cannot locate a windshield fitting kit.

    So this is the windshield I purchased! I like that it doesn't look as wide or as tall as every other one out there. The thing I find strange is I have yet to find a single image of this exact windshield on a rocket 3! It pretty crazy to think that either people didn't like them or they are just...

    Installed sidewinder and ram air and hans0 +10 tune... Need input

    I took it on a 10 mile ride just normal and something is really not right with it... Lots of loud decel popping, rolling on to throttle is not smooth at all , doesn't seem as though it pulls like when it was stock, first cold start the idle jumps from 900 up to 1300 or 1400, at a stop the idle...

    Installed sidewinder and ram air and hans0 +10 tune... Need input

    Alright, I guess then that's where I'm going to start, I appreciate your help. I'm gonna wait for the roads to dry up a bit today and then I will take it for a rip after I reflash this thing.
