  1. question

    '06 Classic SE purchased in '09 with just under 3000 miles. Currently 22,000 miles, darkside at 6,000, new metzler fr at 8,000, new dunlop fr at 16,000. Metz cupped badly, so far no issues w/Dunlop. Headlite relay at 6,000. Original battery which is kept on Batt Tender over winter in unheated...

  2. GPS visibility

    I am thinking of adding a gps unit to the bike, many of you seem to have them, none of the guys I know here use them. My concern is screen visibility in sunlight. Any issues? My smart phone is unreadable in the sun no matter how I shade it. That is the only concern I have.

  3. Uneven Front Tyre (Tire) Wear

    While the corners wearing out or cupping the tires is interesting, one would be turning alot of corners as compared to straightline riding. I find most of my riding to be straightline and on the right side of the road mostly. And while I do make turns, the mileage in turns is minimal compared to...

  4. Uneven Front Tyre (Tire) Wear

    Replaced my first rear Metz at 6,000 mi for the darkside. The front was changed out at 8100 mi, badly cupped on the left side while maintaining proper tire pressure. The second Metz will be coming off this spring with under 9000 miles with the majority of the wear on the left side. Not so much...

  5. Covering your arse

    After being hit on a yellow HD w/ large yellow dry bag on the back and hearing the driver didn't see me (and he ran thru a stop sign to do it), I wonder about some drivers. No cell, no alcohol, just an idiot. I now wear Hi-Viz, full helmet and Hi-Viz gloves, am overly cautious at intersections...

  6. Rocket 3 Belt Buckles

    I'm in for one(1) colored one. Not much for rings on a daily basis but must wear a belt to keep the drawers up.

  7. Russell Day Long Seat Failure

    My afformentioned recovery price was for a dual seat. If yours is a solo seat then you might spend $150 locally.

  8. Russell Day Long Seat Failure

    As an upholsterer, I can say that the vinyl must be defective. I've seen boat seats 10 years old that didn't look that bad. No vinyl should "fall apart" like that in that short a time. And if you can find an upholsterer out your way to do it for what other posters have estimated, go for it...

  9. 10k valve check

    Valve check Here in the state of loser ViQueens, two dealers said they have rarely seen valves out of spec at 10K however the throttle bodies need to be synced...for those of us that are reticent to do it ourselves or don't have the technology.

  10. Eastern Beaver...?

    E Beaver H4 kit Guess I missed the Rocket specific site as I ordered the standard H4 relay setup for two headlights. Will have to make use of the soldering skills and change things up. Now if only the snow would melt and a good strong rain would wash the roads clear of winter debris.

  11. Foran Radius Exhaust

    Is anyone on this site using this set-up? On the Tbird it sounds downright bad**s but there are no sound files on Youtube for the R3.

  13. custom intake manifold

    Pig9r, that's what I'm looking for. Who, Where, How, etc.?:confused:

  14. custom intake manifold

    I run the under tank set up. If I just move the filter out from under and attach it to an intake one into three, I will lose HP ??? Help me see the logic. I guess I'm not looking for an increase in HP or Torque, she seems to have enough for me. I'm looking for a meaner look and the blower set up...

  15. custom intake manifold

    I'm no engineer, RR or otherwise but how is it a custom one into three intake "doesn't flow as well as" that stock convoluted plastic hampster run under the seat and tank? And while the Jardine-esque three tube intake indeed looks mean, I was thinking more along the lines of the Metacruze or...
