    Lithium battery

    Well, found this thread in a search. I put a lithium in both my KTM's and have had good luck with them. I'm just considering this because my ATV needs a battery, and the rocket's stock one can go in. So I'm considering this one. Antigravity XPS V-12 Lithium Battery - Left Side Negative Terminal...

    So, since the rim tape matched the red in the tank pretty good, I ordered some 2" stripe. Did some striping on the tail. I couldn't find a good match for the charcoal color though. One was to light and one was to dark. I went with the darker one.

    Changing blacked out exhaust for stainless.

    Looks good... One of the reasons I bought a '24 leftover is because I didn't care for the blacked out look on the storms. And since I can load a tune (if I ever figure out how) to get a supposed 30 HP, the extra 15 didn't matter to much. I do like the lb. less wheels though.

    R vs GT

    Thanks, sounds easy when you say it. But I'm clueless with this stuff. No idea what a OBD reader is. I hope they let me ride in and load it for me. They're only about an hour and a half away. Otherwise, I'll probably have to send them my ECU, like on the '25 storm models. Then I'm without a bike...

    R vs GT

    I think I'm pretty much through the break in on mine. 800 plus miles. I changed the oil and filter, and rear drive lube. I have a BT moto handheld tuner, but I'm not sure I can get through all I'm supposed to do with it. And whether I need a windows computer. I'm waiting for a reply to an email...

    Forward Controls - extended more

    Would you be happy with just a highway peg arrangement? Much easier. But not good for local roads with a lot of shifting of course. I just sandwiched some 1/4" steel between the controls and the mount. This is where I wanted the highway pegs/leg rests. But you could put them anywhere you liked...

    I wish I had the computer skills to send you some kind of drawing to send to a fabricator. But I I'm lucky I can post pics of it here, ha ha. I use aluminum foil and tracing paper a lot.

    Found some 1/4" metallic red pinstripe that matched pretty good.

    Expectant Rocket III Newb

    Agree. I was all around there on one of my rides. I really enjoyed the Coronado trail. 191. Oh, and welcome from a fellow newb. My '24 GT is about a week old.

    Ambient Temperature Indication Inaccurate

    Yeah, its a kind of OCD thing. I always liked having them on my bikes.

    Ambient Temperature Indication Inaccurate

    Searched up this thread. I noticed on my brand new '24 the temp. sensor is very inaccurate. Seems like it just likes 84 even when it feels like 94. I tried to get an Aerostitch mini therm. like I used to have on all my bikes in the old days. But I don't see them anymore....Edit: ,Ok, I ordered...
