  1. left him in the dust

    True true. My Nephew gets to exercise all the common sense for both of us. The Rocket is his now. I just have to ship it to Hawaii for him.

  2. left him in the dust

    OK, I'm either schooled or motivated or both. Thanks :rolleyes:

  3. left him in the dust

    While I was reading this, I couldn't help but think of the hot Z06 I raced from a rolling 25mph. He jumped first and then I jumped. I stayed with him until the speed limiter. They are very fast. He disappeared on me like I was sitting still and I was going about 125mph. **** Wilson's must have...

  5. Vibrating Mirrors

    I've had the same problem on my '06 right off of the showroom floor. It's not bad, but it does blur more unless I'm holding the left handgrip firmly. I'd say the problem is in the mirror body itself. I just look out the right side if I need a good steady look to see if smokey is sneaking up...

  6. New to the site!!

    Jon, small world. Welcome! I saw a stock black Classic with saddle bags at Cinnamon and Fox a few weeks back. Wonder if that was you? You make 3 now in a town of only 20,000. I'll be selling mine to my Nephew in Hawaii pretty soon, so Lemoore will be back down to 2 again soon. Steve

  7. up date

    Cane, this is a bit off topic, but I just have to smile every time you post a pic showing those jardines:D Nice job on the spoiler!!!

  8. Pipes and tunes? Help

    Hope you can find those stolen ponies that the standard RIIIs have. :mad: Having owned both an HD with a 103" motor and my current RIII, there's no comparison. My RIII is at least 1/2 again as powerful and waaaaaayyyyyy faster off the line or rolling from 65 mph. No contest. :D When you...

  9. How I fixed my High Idle and low speed stumble issue.

    After the dealer performed the recall, all was well for about 200 miles. Then it started the high idle crap. I loaded an older tune several months ago when I had the same high idle problem. So I did the same thing. Loaded the the 20138 tune back in. Used tuneboy to open up the secondaries...

  10. Your bike before your rocket.

    '72 Suzuki TS-50, TS-90, TC-125; '73 Suzuki TC-125; '72 Yamaha 125MX; '73 Yamaha R5 350; '76 Kawasaki KZ-900; '82 Honda XL-500; '05 Kawasaki KLR-650; '03 HD Screamin' Eagle Road King; '06 Rocket III Classic. My favorite was the Yamaha R5. Just wished it had 6 gears and reed valves like the...

  11. Issue with Progressive 440's

    I put 20 some-odd thousand miles on my Road King (heavier than my R3) with a set of 440HDs on it. No problems whatsoever. That Road King sat waaaaay more over on the side stand than the Rocket. ;) Hey Speedbike, thanks for passing on the info though. It's good to hear some of this stuff...

  12. Hello from X-Harley Rider....

    Welcome. Your post and story are identical to mine. I had a '03 SE Road King. I've been on my '06 Rocket Classic since May and STILL;) DON'T REGRET A THING:D:D You will not be disappointed.

  13. R3 wind deflectors

    Flip, I can't remember. Did the mod also fix the rivco riser brake line bracket from hitting the radiator shroud too? Steve

  14. The latest fix for the poor idle / stalling

    Sightglass, thanks for the info. I feel better now knowing that my numbers aren't out of whack:)

  15. The latest fix for the poor idle / stalling

    Sightglass, Was it 476mm/hg on all cylinders or were they different? Cyl #3 is 15-20 mm/hg less than #1 and #2. Thanks in advance, Steve
