    Rear suspension

    I put Progressive 444s on my '14 Rocket III Roadster, they are amazing. Also have new Progressive fork springs, haven't installed them yet but I am hoping they will be just as good.

    Rear suspension

    I had the same issue with my '14 Roadster. I replaced the stock shocks with Progressive 444's - the difference is night & day. The front is also very mushy, I have new Progressive springs but have not installed them yet. I'm sure they will be an improvement.

    Valve cover gasket leak?

    I had the same issue at around 20,000 miles - I bought my R3 Roadster with 19,218 on the ODO. Apparently this is a known problem with many Rocket III engines. The parts are not too expensive, around $30 for the gasket and I've seen posts that say it can be done in about an hour. It actually took...

    Would you call this a Dark Side event?

    So here's one for the ages... Had to do an oil change on my wife's Hyundai Sante Fe. I use a device called a "MityVac" to drain the old oil. It's basically a hand pump with a hose you snake down the dipstick tube into the oil pan so you don't have to crawl under the vehicle and drain it. When...

    My Rocket in Flames on the Launchpad!!

    Wow, glad you're OK. I NEVER take my eye off the tank when filling, in fact I hold the nozzle for the entire fill and shut it off manually when it reaches the plate. Never take my helmet off, I ALWAYS wear a jacket. but I do remove the gloves so I can get the credit card out. They do get hot...

    New Corbin gunfighter

    No one could sit on that pillion... they'd slide right off the back. Obviously a single-seater.

    BRASS TACKS ON FRONT FORKS

    I haven't attempted this yet, just got the new springs today, but I'm thinking that maybe a length of PVC pipe of the correct diameter screwed onto the end of the damper rod (it'll probably self-tap...) would do the job. Once I get into it, I'll figure it out - they don't call me "MacGyver" for...
