  1. And now it's time for goodbye.

    After doing some rather exhaustive research, I find that I am really no closer to picking my next bike than I was when I joined this forum. My reasons for not choosing the Rocket III in any of it's forms are my own. To list them would just start a strong debate (argument?) and so I shall not. I...

  2. HID on R3T

    There has been gallons of ink spilled on the subject of "pure white" and blue light headlights since they were introduced. There are volumes on the subject that can be found on line. I'm NOT an expert but I do know that anything higher than about 3200K (around where pure white is) starts to tint...

  3. I thought I was riding a cruiser

    The proper term USED to be power cruiser. Motorcycle Cruiser Magzine is now calling it the Bruiser Cruiser niche.

  4. R3T heated grips

    Hey, Flip, Do those slip on grips from the site fit the Rocket (and R3T) bars and controls? I didn't see a bar width mentioned.

  5. Wow, just installed my GI Pro

    I'm overseas with the Army right now and I could REALLY use a retard eliminator. We have SO MANY retards to eliminate.:o

  6. HID on R3T

    Check out the Sylvania Silverstar. They brightened up the headlights on my Cavalier by about 30%.

  7. Center stand question.

    All of the above actually. If I only needed to get the bike level and on a stand in the garage, I would do what I have done with my last three bikes. I modified each of them so that a set of racing paddock stands will work. They are made mostly for sport bikes but it's real easy to mod your bike...

  8. Center stand question.

    I'm going to be buying a touring model when I return to the US. I would really like a center stand (because I'm not used to NOT having one) and I have not been able to find one for the touring model. I found this one, Rocket III Centerstand Not Touring Model But the site says it is not for the...

  9. R3T - new Russell Day Long seats

    I am SO with you on that. I don't want my bike seat wearing out that particular part of my woman. That's my job!;)

  10. Rocket 3 Touring VS. Valkyrie Tourer

    Here's a bet for you. When I get back and buy my 2009 R3T I'll put it up against the 2009 Valkyrie tourer or interstate. :eek: Oops! my bad! Honda doesn't love you Valk riders enough to keep on MAKING that bike. Gee, wonder why?:rolleyes:

  11. R3T - new Russell Day Long seats

    I hate to ask! You know when your friend walks up and tells you he and his wife are divorcing and you don't WANT to ask the inevitible question but you just can't help yourself and say "****, What happened?" Well,,,,,, I gotta ask the one aweful question. How much did that cost you?

  12. Great looking exhaust

    That looks a lot like a sportster can with some kind of extension. I've used Harley mufflers on a lot of bikes. Stock replacement mufflers for a silverwing (gl500) were $400 and had to be special ordered. The Harley cans were $50 delivered to my door. So many of those guys strip the stockers off...

  13. What is a Dyno-Boost Adjustable perfomance chip?

    People have been making these for, and using them on, fuel injected cars since Air temp sensors and O2 sensors have been in use. What it does is trick the ECU into believing that the air coming into the ATS is cold, the ECU doesn't lean out the fuel for warm/hot air the way it's designed to. The...

  14. Roadster mufflers on a touring?

    First, what I've been able to glean from the website and pics; 1. The roadster still has the cat in front of the rear tire. 2. The collecter/cat box is a different configuration from either the R3/Classic or the touring. 3. The angle of the pipes is not parallel to the ground like on...

  15. What a nightmare

    Each one DOES get easier the more you do it:D. Now try doing both at once! Never gets any easier:o. But as long as you live through the experience it's fun practicing.:roll:
