    To ATGATT or not to ATGATT - and to what extent

    In my 30 years as a career Firefighter/Medic, I picked up more then a few motorcyclists. I even got to use a Hurst tool to separate one rider from his machine. Many cried as they complained of the burning of their extremities, explaining Road Rash to them at that time was a little too late to...

    For Sale 2015 R3T

    Thanks It wasnt easy, but then again it was. I did not want to be the cause of an injury nor get hurt myself, been there, done that! Id rather ride a trike then not ride.

    For Sale 2015 R3T

    After much thought, I am selling my Rocket. I am at the age where my ability to feel comfortable moving the Rocket around and stopping at lights and such is not what it needs to be. I am putting safety over my love of this ride. I have now bought a Goldwing Trike so its time. I bought the R3T...

    Iowa parts hunting.

    Welcome to the group from Marion! You are not going to find many things for the Rocket here, outside of the dealers. I'm about 20 minutes from J&P, as long as I'm after very generic stuff they might have something, otherwise its online. Enjoy the site and the Rocket.

    RAMAIR, so easy a Caveman/Boog can do it

    Hey Boog! I’ve had a busy couple of years with the Legion, then I decided to build a car. I’ve completed a Lotus 7 kit and am getting that registered now. I’m ready to get back into the RT3 again. I visit this site often but had to comment on your RAMAIR. I used long needle nose and put a short...

    RAMAIR, so easy a Caveman/Boog can do it

    Are you going to finish the story? You now have a non-used airbox under the seat. Pull the A/C out and put the little filter on the PCV hose. Storage! I have done the RAMAIR on 2 Rockets, love the Throttle Bodies clatter!

    Mustang seat doesn’t fit

    This is NOT an unknown issue with the seat. I fought them the fall of '16 over this issue. I bought thru a vender who listed the seat as fitting a 2015 R3T, it did not. I believe there was a seat mounting design change and the 15 and newer R3T models are not compatible with the seat brackets...

    Hello from Iowa

    Welcome from up in Marion. On my 2nd Rocket, crashed the 05 a couple of years ago. Not a lot of us here in Iowa. I am waiting for all of this snow to melt and the sand to clear the streets so I can get back at riding. Enjoy the Rocket.

    Ignition/Starting issue??

    I only broke 3 ribs behind my left shoulder blade. Plus a little road rash. I did get a new helmet out of the deal from TORC. Mostly glad I was able to get the helmet and the new R3T!

    Ignition/Starting issue??

    I've been there and fought the issue for a couple of years on my 2005. Many ideas, you touched on a few; including a new larger 12v lead from the battery and replacing the starter with a larger one from a Toyota. I replaced or cleaned the contacts in the starter many times. The headlight...

    2014 R3T issues?

    After totaling my 05 Classic in '16, I picked up a new '15 Touring. I waited for 600 miles then installed a set of TORs, removed the air box system and installed a RAMAIR filter, remapped the ecu, and lowered the rear with new shocks. The mileage is in mid to upper 30's, city riding will be in...

    2015 R3T rear inner fender paint/wiring

    I bought one of the left over 2015 R3T's in late Sept of 2016 after I destroyed my 2005 Classic. It has been a great Rocket so far, just not riding enough yet. I was cleaning the rear inner fender when I saw the wiring harness hanging down and laying on the rear tire. I removed the bags and...
