  1. Scrolling Sign Tag Frame

    Just finished putting on an incredible gadget on the bike. It's a programmable scrolling sign that I got from Ebay for only $56.00! (There's another of the same thing for $250!) It has four possible signs you program yourself from your computer via a RS232 port (parallel port), with up to...

  2. ToolKit

    Toolkits are there for people who are mechanically inclined enough to get the problem bypassed for a little while rather than wait two and a half hours for the tow truck. Sure they're cheap tools but at least one of them may come in handy for something you can fix on your own to get by in a pinch.

  3. Mud flap

    Hi Johnlyn, sure enough I've got a mudflap on my front fender and it works great. Of all the goodies on the bike, that one was one of the cheapest from JC Whitney. There's two kinds: one that is just plain and another one with some Western Fringe. Their catalogue numbers are AGU023318 for...

  4. The Rocket even has symptoms when a headlamp is about to blo

    For the past week or so I've been having problems with the high beam indicator light. Whenever I would switch from low beam to high beam everything seemed normal but switching back to low beams was when the high beam indicator light would remain on even though I could see the headlamps did go...

  5. What the F##K is it?

    Thanks, that makes sense now. Never knew it came with it's own prop rod! Now I know where to find it too!

  6. What the F##K is it?

    While adding some accessory lighting beneath the tank on the right side, my hand accidentally pressed too hard on a rod and I heard a 'pop'. When I looked up under the tank with a flashlight, I found a chrome rod with some sort of hook looking thing on the end of it that is held in place by two...

  7. The fix for loose mirror stems

    If the allen bolt is cross-threaded into the mirror stem and the allen hole has been reamed out from over-exertion, the only suggestion I have for you is to try a pair of Vise-Grips. But place a piece of paper with a hole for the bolt head to keep from scratching the surrounding area.

  8. The fix for loose mirror stems

    After a few months I noticed that my mirrors would 'come in' and I would have to keep readjusting them. I tried to tighten them but got nowhere with tightening the allen screw on the bottom. You see, the mirror stem has a step that seats against a ledge in the mounting bracket with a plastic...

  9. Is 200 degrees normal?

    After running for a bit today, I happened to glance at my analog oil temp guage and noticed that it was at 200 degrees farenheit, just 12 degrees below boiling temp. I kept an eye on it but it never went down even when taking it easy. Just wondering if this is the normal setting for the engine...

  10. How to remove risers ?

    Yes you can, as a great way to get to the 17mm nuts from below, use a deep well socket and then use a 'wobble' extension on it. It works PERFECT!!!!!!! I used an extension bar about 10" long that came in a set of 'wobble' extensions from Craftsman (Sears). It was definitely worth the $30 for...

  11. Minor Rockets Mods

    Sounds like your getting a twin to MY bike! But you still have to get all the goodies from Rivco and the LeatherLyke saddlebags yet! And don't forget about the Triumph bolt dresser kit or the cam tensioner and axle covers, the drink holder and even the mudflap on the front fender to keep all...

  12. Saddlebags

    Got the Comtemporary Leatherlykes this afternoon and were a cinch to put on in no time. They look as great as I had hoped they would. The quick release clips on the inside of the bags are tethered on their own leather straps so you can't lose them! and the Helmet lock has a sticker telling...

  13. Saddlebags

    Thanks for the tip, my contemporaries are presently in the hands of UPS. Hopefully they'll be in my hands tomorrow! Just put the Rivco swing arm cover and driveshaft covers on tonight as well as the passenger floorboards and relocater arms. Anyone need a chrome axle nut cover? The swing arm...
