    Voltage, fuel, clock, temperature indicator for Rocket III 2006.

    My clock gauge always amazes me because it is ALWAYS dead on accurate and matches my apple watch to the minute, weird. I adjusted my gas gauge years ago by bending the float rod and I am satisfied with it when showing empty or nearly so because I now know it still has about 1.5 to2 gallons...

    Resurrection!

    A few years ago the speedometer on my '06 Rocket Classic stopped working. I fiddled with the harness, relays and fuses and was eventually convinced that something internal crapped out and nothing short of a new gauge would fix it. So, not willing to spend $500 plus for the only new or used...

    I hate key fobs

    I'm curious about the passive VS smart key. What is the difference? I recently installed a keyless system on my '06 RIII Classic. The FOB can be programmed to automatically energize the ignition with the FOB in my pocket if I am within approx. 10' of the bike. It can also be programmed to...

    For Sale 2008 Rocket III Touring with 210HP Carpenter Racing engine.

    Sold my '08 Touring a few years ago, regret giving into my wife about having too many bikes. No such thing of course. Can you post a video of the bike running so I can get an idea about the exhaust note?

    Ignition Switch?

    I certainly understand that. The ignition on my 2006 Classic with only 21000 miles on it failed within 2 weeks after I bought it back in 2018. That is when I joined this forum and learned the good. the bad and the ugly about the Rocket III. After learning about the problem and options for...

    Ignition Switch?

    I replaced my ignition with the Guard Dawg keyless plug and play unit a few days ago. I went to their Web site and messaged them with questions and they steered me to the correct model with exactly the right connectors for my 2006 Classic. I had trouble figuring out which connector was for the...

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    Update: I had forgotten to try using the second Key FOB that came with The Guard Dawg(they call it an, "RFID TAG"). When I did try the second "TAG" remote unit everything worked as designed in both manual and automatic mode. That made me think the first FOB/TAG I tried, that only worked when...

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    Years ago I had DeCosse's keyless unit and it worked great most of the time but I had to remove it. My Rocket would go dead briefly when riding through several different areas in San Diego County. For example when riding past the Miramar Naval Air Station I would lose power or when riding near...

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    Nice, wonder if I could do that to my "06 Classic with a can of hi-temp silver spray paint. :)

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    The ignition switch on my '06 Rocket III Classic has crapped out for the third time. Yesterday I installed a Digital Guard Dawg keyless ignition. I am at the "manual" testing phase in the installation instructions. I only get electrical power when I hold the FOB/remote control against the...

    No Power To Anything

    Battery properly grounded? Or not at all? Cable terminals corroded or rusted out?

    Need Electrical Help

    That thought crossed my mind. The female slots where the original male flasher prongs plugged in, and the Signal Minder, looked dirty and greasy. Maybe the problem is there or in the fuses I pulled. If it happens again I will do some cleaning and maybe use the dielectric grease I have. Thanks.

    Need Electrical Help

    UPDATE: No surprise that I still haven't received a reply from Signal Minder for their thoughts. Doesn't really matter now because all is apparently well again. Why? I am not sure. One of my questions for Signal Minder was how in hell do I unplug the connector to what they call the...
