    A wonderful gift from New Zealand today!

    Agreeing on the heat, I ended up having to wrap my headers as my leg was burning even when riding. I had placed forward controls which did take my leg closer to the headers but even when stationery at lights my leg was getting burnt. A lot of wrap and it's fine but preference would be no wrap...

    Considering a Rocket vs an Indian

    My father-in-law bought a Rocket 3 and my Mother-in-law bought an Indian Classic. Both very nice bikes and suitability is relevant to the person. However, I think my first sentence kind of resolves your dilema! (drops mic...and exit's stage left) :laugh: :p

    Hello from New Zealand - 2004 Rocket III - Project Bike

    Thanks for that...I bought a universal Motorcycle specific 3 pin relay for the Rocket today and it was a 2 minute plug and play and works perfectly. I will also post some pictures of the indicator mounts I made utilising the original fitting points on the front forks for the bike. I personally...

    Update...Rides amazingly well with the new bars. I had them custom fitted to my frame so IMO the whole bike is now much better handling and more comfortable. I do need some help with my LED indicators and what resistor or relay I need to fit. Any ideas would be great!

    That's incredibly kind Phil, I can't take the credit as the amazing guys at Kolorinn Kustoms in Auckland did the design and paint. Thanks for the feedback Phil. The headers have already been customed, I wrapped them for now as the engineer let me down and didn't put any heatshields on. The...

    Upload of some pics done...re the F6B - It's actually an awesome bike, admit the looks are a bit bizarre but an unbelievably great bike to ride. I have owned over a hundred bikes and the F6B is certainly the best long distance comfort tourer I have owned. :cautious::cautious:

    Hello from New Zealand - 2004 Rocket III - Project Bike

    Here is the project so far...still a bit to do with Lights, Exhaust/Muffler, tyres, grips, seat and side mount number plate bracket. Styling and design not for everyone but in the flesh it looks badass!

    Hello from New Zealand - 2004 Rocket III - Project Bike

    Hi all, I have started the strip down of the bike and I thought I would post a few pics so people can see I am not butchering a good bike but restoring my machine with some intimate touches. The bike is pretty rough from being left outside and NZ does not put salt on it's roads so much of...

    Hello from New Zealand - 2004 Rocket III - Project Bike

    Hey mate, I'm kind of predominantly after the look and for short rides out. I have a few bikes so it's a project to play around with and to make it a bit unique. I certainly hear you about ruining it, and i'm not going to jump in and start cutting without a clear plan. I am pulling it apart now...
