    Big hello from Indiana .

    Welcome, George! I have Jardines on my '07 Standard and love them. As many opinions as there are pipes available, but you'll get good, honest input and the benefit of years of experience on this forum. You're gonna love your Rocket, even stock, but when you open up a bit more of her...

    Shocks or Seat?

    Don't have experience with either, but as far as bang for your buck on seat comfort, check out an Airhawk. Love mine.

    Kuryakyn Black ISO Grips, for what it's worth

    As usual, you guys on this forum were spot on. When I took it in for the 20K service, I told the stealership about the shimmy and they found the neck hardware loose. Re-torqued and she's solid as a rock again. Thanks all.

    Random stupidness

    Check out Black Pistol Fire. They opened up for Wolfmother in the House of Blues Dallas, and these two dudes ROCK.

    White wheels with the red pinstriping are a VERY nice touch. Well done!

    Kuryakyn Black ISO Grips, for what it's worth

    Though I've had the Chrome ISOs on for a couple of years now and never put bar end weights back on, I just noticed that between 40 and 50 mph with hands off (I know, I know, I was trying to take a glove off to let some air out of the Air Hawk), the front end starts shimmying and it escalates...

    From America To Roadster

    She's a beauty! My wife rides a '13 America and my R3 is an '07 Standard. I bought mine new in '09 and still can't believe how great a bike it is every time I ride it. Congratulations and welcome!

    Rocket owners average age!

    Weighing in late (haven't logged on in a while), but I'll be 50 in August. Still a pup by comparison! :D

    Three Sisters

    I'm in Rowlett (just east of Dallas) and would definitely be up for a Rocket ride on the sisters. Haven't been out there yet (moved here last year), but have heard from lots of folks they're fun.

    ECU Fried?

    Thanks, man, worked like a charm, I was freaking out!

    ECU Fried?

    No, I loaded a tune back when I first got the bike, but haven't used it since. Thanks, I'll look for the "recover from failed download" option.

    ECU Fried?

    OK guys, need some help. I finally replaced the stock airbox setup with trip K&Ns per Brian's instructional post(thanks, for the post, Brian, and thanks again for the filters, Patrick!). I had the bike put back together and went to load the new tune map using Tuneboy. So, I connected the bike...
