  1. weird tail light/plate light problem

    Monday I was on the tail end of a 2k mile trip on my '07 Classic and my wife in the cage behind me (she joined the trip for just the last weekend because her back has been bothering her) noticed my tail light was out. Brake light worked though. After checking it out when I got home, it...

  2. Garmin Wiring

    I just used an 'add-a-circuit' from auto-zone and plugged it into the fuse box (#8 for the instrumentation lights). I wired the ground to the negative terminal on the battery. Turns the GPS off when I turn the key off; knowing me, I'd forget.

  3. shifter acorn nut

    Looks like it is M6-1.0, at least that seems to fit. Little lock tite on that bugger should hold it until its first service when I'll ask them to put a proper nut back on it.

  4. shifter acorn nut

    Well, I just got out for a day trip, pulled off a ramp, downshifted into first and stopped. The shifter was completely loose and I couldn't shift. Pulled over to a parking lot to check it out, and I lost the little acorn nut that connects the shifter to the link bar (i.e. the part...

  5. New Rocket III Classic!!

    I love my Thrux! Not as much juice for sure, but it sure is a fun bike in the NC twisties. I'm keepin' 'em both, can't do more than 150 miles or so on the Thrux and at 150 miles I'm pretty tired. I had to do months of situps to strengthen my back to the point I could ride that far on it...

  6. New Rocket III Classic!!

    She's home!! Well, I just got home from picking up my Rocket! Got all my accessories on, and she's a beauty!!! The handling on this thing is really incredible for a bike this size. Just poking around a parking lot is a piece of cake, and on the road, just a little nudge on the...

  7. New Rocket III Classic!!

    Thanks guys, the H&B bags seem to be my style as well as good quality; now I just need to figure out whether to use H&B brackets or the Easy Brackets... I like the simplicity of the Easy Brackets, but the H&B have that extra support on the pillion peg mount. I might just pick up the bags...

  8. New Rocket III Classic!!

    Engine is black, love the look of it! H&B are the Hepco and Becker bags. They make a lot of different sorts, but the leather ones are the ones I'm looking at. Buffalo or Liberty models are the ones I like. Twisted Throttle carries them. I bought a Bags Connection tailpack for the...

  9. New Rocket III Classic!!

    It is indeed :D

  10. New Rocket III Classic!!

    I guess the sickness never ends does it? :-D

  11. New Rocket III Classic!!

    Yep, very very excited! I got the knee pads (I tend to use 'em), roadster screen and lowers, front dresser bars, high sissy bar and classic backrest for the wife, and heated grips. I didn't consider the aux socket, I've never used one. I'm thinking on the H&B bags for trips, but am...

  12. New Rocket III Classic!!

    I came a hair of buying a T100 when I bought the Thruxton. I was sitting on the Bonnie, and the Thrux across the room just kept calling to me. Resistance was futile. I hate yellow, but that yellow Thrux was just 'right'. Took me a while to get used to the thing (and a lot of sit...

  13. New Rocket III Classic!!

    Not sure, but he apparently has some financial incentive to get it to me before the end of the month. He wasn't sure how many of the accessories were in stock. It was all a good deal, so I loaded it up with the things I thought would be nice on the road.

  14. New Rocket III Classic!!

    Whee! I just got home from the dealer after signing the deal on my new blue/white '07 Rocket III Classic! I've been lurking here for a while, and finally bit the bullet after my wife talked me into it (yah, she didn't really need to do much talking:-) I'm currently riding a Thruxton...
