    Swing Arm Install - got it done!

    Pulled engine and now putting it together. I slipped the driveshaft into the bevel gear drive and turned shaft to verify it was engaged. Then I slid the swing arm back into original position while engaging the splines onto the engine output shaft. But it doesn't want to slide completely in...

    Helpful Hint, Please!

    SUCCESS! Like Ian said, raise the rear of the frame a little then the front. Keep edging it up. I was on the right track yesterday, but the hoisting cable for the front was attached at an angle toward the back using an overhead beam. So I rigged a vertical drop to the forks so they pulled...

    Helpful Hint, Please!

    It's hard to get and keep friends. Hell, I can't stand myself and I've had 71 years to get acquainted. Thanks for the support. It's a new day and I'm going to give it the old college try. Everything's disconnected. It's just a matter of getting the right angle to the dangle. At least...

    Helpful Hint, Please!

    Thanks. I think I tried that, but I'll give it another go tomorrow. Yeah, I pulled the plug from the back. After struggling with it, I decided to take a break & go for a ride (75F) on one of my other bikes (HD). Had a flat on the highway, AAA said I didn't have cycle towing(thought I did)...

    Helpful Hint, Please!

    Pulling my engine. Everything disconnected, unbolted. But frame won't clear engine. Binding at right front mount arm. I know there's a trick to clearing the frame, but I haven't figured it out yet. Thanks.

    Sometimes one finds they did the right thing. Glad I bought my R3T

    Sorry about the loss of your friend. He sounds like a great guy, a positive force in life. Sometimes I dedicate my rides to my best friend, a fellow biker who passed away too early. I'll talk to him as if he can hear me. Who knows? Perhaps you could post a picture of Jim and the Rocket.

    Traded in my '17 Roadster for the '20 GT

    I like the GT, but I'll just work with my '14 Roadster. It has 230HP and I dressed it out to make it more like a touring. One of the nice things is I have a hitch to pull my popup camper. I don't think the new Rocket could accept a hitch. One of the bad things is I have to rebuild my...

    Traded in my '17 Roadster for the '20 GT

    Congrats! I like the GT, too. I hope the transmissions are more reliable than the previous models.

    Rocket III Engine Swap

    Thanks for sharing the pics. I'll soon be doing my 1st R3R engine removal and splitting cases, so this is very pertinent for me. You can store the supercharged Carpenter engine with me rather than Paul. I'll not only pay postage, I'll give you $500 for the honor. I'll guarantee that the...

    Yet another Roadster with a dead transmission

    Thanks for the tip. No ductwork on mine. The Carpenter Crew threw it away when they did my engine. It took a few hundred miles before I realized I was sucking unfiltered Arizona air. But now I'm running K&N RU1760's with prefilters.

    Yet another Roadster with a dead transmission

    Just got off the phone will Bill Robinson -- very nice guy. As soon as I get the shafts out, he'll take them and work their magic. I've got one of my other bikes in my small shop right now waiting on parts. As soon as I can move it out, in goes the R3R. I'm sure I'll have to ask for help...

    For Sale ***SOLD*** 2012 Carpenter 240 R3R

    I was going by the picture showing it with the bearclaw in place. I think $15,000 is a fair price. I'd buy it, but I have a 2014 Carpenter R3R. It has the 210HP kit which dynoed @ 230HP (actually229.27, but what's .73HP between Captains?) Runs great on 89 octane. Just after Carpenter, at...

    Yet another Roadster with a dead transmission

    I plan on tearing it down myself and pulling the trans shafts to send. Called Robinson twice yesterday, no answer, left message twice. Sent them email, too, no reply yet.
