    Turbo Kits currently available?

    Yeah, that's me. Are you the one who recently asked me questions on YouTube about how I fixed it? @Kevin frazier is correct, I haven't been on this forum in quite awhile but I was just logging in here while doublechecking the URL so I could give it to you in the YouTube comments. I wanted to...

    Thanks for the replies guys. Unless I hear back by the end of this weekend it looks like I'll just have to pay a bit more and buy elsewhere. I'm sure he's a nice guy but that's no way to run a business. It's just not that tough to respond to an email within a few days no matter what is going on...

    Supercharged bike blowing oil cap off

    Just to be clear, I should add that after replacing the piston (all 3 actually) I've never lost another dipstick again.

    Yes, I am. I hope he's OK too. I thought it was real strange not to get a reply.

    Supercharged bike blowing oil cap off

    That's my video and my Rocket. Broken piston lands was the culprit. Your crankcase is most likely getting over pressurized by excessive blow by in one or more cylinders. Another vote for compression test here.

    Anyone order from this site lately or know if he's still in business? I inquired about the EBC-HH brake pads a week ago now and no response. Just tried again. I can't take my R3 out of hibernation until I have new brake pads. Rears are 100% shot. I thought the word around here was that these...

    Swing arm blanking plate - what is under it ?

    Well, I don't have a pic but I can tell you I've drilled through mine and ran a bolt through the middle to mount an air horn to it. It was free space where I drilled the hole. I can't imagine there's anything else in there other than free space.

    Low miles: clutch gone bad

    Picture of the clutch basket is nice but a picture of you doing this would be even better!

    Thoughts on trailering

    Thanks. The shifter pedal was on the bike when I bought it. BTW, for those wanting to rent the U-HAUL motorcycle trailer, it does fit a Rocket. For some reason on their website they list this trailer as only 7' 8" long. Not true and there's at least a foot to spare behind the bike. Only $14.95/day.

    I know I'm a sign nut.

    I like this one I spotted recently on the Idaho Montana border over Thompson Pass. I actually turned around to come back and take a picture of it. The arrows showing that you must? should? will? lean are classic. The sign should just read... Excellent Motorcycle Road Next 21 Miles

    Thoughts on trailering

    There's no reason to look down on someone who chooses to trailer their bike somewhere. That's no different than Harley riders who think a Harley is the only worthy motorcycle on the planet, which is quite lame. There are multiple logical reasons someone might trailer a bike, many that have...

    Upgrading your clutch springs?? What NOT to buy... MTC

    Thanks! Yep, that was real fun guys. Great ride and nice meeting everyone. Other than the idle, which I still haven't had time to fix, the bike is running great. Wanted to post this pic after the ride but never got around to it. This top speed was recorded when pulling away from Steve @1olbull...

    HEAD COUNT for RAA WEST 2018

    OK then. I will cancel my room and take one you've reserved. I'll speak to the wife about Friday night. Probably not an option as she has hurt her shoulder and can't do much of anything so the shorter I'm gone the better. I've been making dinner now for the last two weeks and doing just about...
