    Rocket is not a motorcycle one can ride in shorts

    So, rode in shorts and cooked my right leg. Yeap, that is the gist. In the summer, can't ride in shorts or the sun will burn the knees to a crisp, in winter, when one can finally ride in daytime, it is the radiator fan output that broils the leg. I guess, you can do it on a highway, maybe a...

    Extend front brake line on GT

    I put risers to bring handlebars up and find a need to add to GT a few inches (~3) of brake line to bring the handlebars to have the ability to bring the handlebars closer to me, current lines are stretched and I did put the line connections at an angle. Are there companies that offer brake...

    Can the rear brake pedal be brought higher?

    Just got the sport boots (SIDI ST) and they restrict how much one can stretch the toe forward, a part of crash protection that that the boots feature. On the forward controls this makes pressing the rear brake a bit awkward. I feel like it the pedal was a bit higher, it might help. And, no, I...

    Now owing Rocket 3, how do you tolerate other bikes? What would your next bike be?

    Being one of the lucky few with that absurd low-end torque, how do you tolerate bikes? Is there any bike out there that could actually eclipse the Rocket in your eyes, what will be your next bike?

    How much do you pay for insurance for 2500cc?

    Just curious, specifically in the USA, how much a year do you spend on your coverage of the biggest production engine motorcycle? I am with Progressive, and it is a full coverage, as I am still paying off the loan on the bike, about 2+ years of riding experience. I have chosen more coverage, as...

    Elongated hugger for that rear wheel to stop sand & pebble accumulation on the swing arm

    Pics: imgur.com/a/O4mFcry Elongated hugger. Cuts down on sand and pebble collection on the swing arm. Downside, installation was rough. Bolts that came with it are horrible, bought my own. The plastic part does not really align to the holes well. A simply moronic decision by the manufacturer...

    Rocket 3 review by Spike

    He is kinda known on youtube when he joined as nobody Yammie Noob's channel and then broke up, now with his own channel, now just dropped a Rocket 3 review. I am not saying he is perfect, he just added good points to Yammie's only-sports-bike-stupid-views on cruisers, since he comes from a HD...

    So little but so helpful, a splash guard for your front fender. My radiator before was always dirty.

    Pic: imgur.com/a/KFNMxbJ The short front fender probably exists more for aesthetics, but it throws a ton of dirt onto the radiator grill. After some searching, I've finally found a solution that works. PS: There's also always a slight risk of a perfectly-sized pebble sneaking through the grill...

    Ordered Volcano motorcycle seat cover replacement for Rocket 3, very disappointed

    So, I decided to take a risk on Italian craftsmanship, you know, Italian suits, etc.. see how it applies to Rocket 3 seat cover replacement. So, it is basically a cover that you get, 3 pieces, and you undo staples on the stock seat, remove the manufacture's cover, put the new one in, stretch...

    Adding a bracket to transport a disc lock on Rocket 3 - yay, or nay?

    Pics: imgur.com/a/wrdsePb Just testing, thoughts? If anyone asks what it is, it is a security lock that goes onto a disc of the front brake. This mounted bracket allows its transport. Why there? Well, the holes aligned. :)~

    Here is a place where to get a paint matched for your Rocket

    I am getting a custom part and it needs to be painted to match my Rocket. Well, I had to do leg work for the custom shop I ordered from and figure out the source for the paint. I am a bit frustrated with that shop, but, willing to finally do whatever it takes to speed things along, if I can...

    Upset with Corbin, paid, yet received nothing in 12 weeks

    When I bought my bike new, I knew I had to have the fairing. I read a number of reviews from the all available windshields, mostly people complained that they were not high enough. The Corbin fairing has old style Harley windshield that can be cheaply extended by mounting a different sized...

    Do you switch riding modes around? What modes do you personally use and when?

    Does any Rocket version have a black frame for the TFT display?

    I am not a fan of the silver plastic highlight on the TFT display. Do you know if any Rocket version was featured with that part black? Can it be ordered? Trying to figure out if there are easier ways than repainting.

    Found a way to keep the radiator heat from cooking my lower leg

    Riding in hot weather makes radiator fan exhaust just skin melting, specifically the right lower leg, somewhere above the ankle. So, found and bought one of these that someone makes at home. Not the most beautiful thing by far, yet functional. Link: Motorcycle Leg Heat Shield Pad, Protection...

    Found extra space to store custom electronics under the seat - removed a component

    Was looking for more space to store some of the electronics for which I had no space. This bike has very little space for customization. So, I removed that phone hard pouch that I'll never use, and the removal created so much extra space. Not waterproof, of course, but still space. Pics...

    How would you rate the gearbox on 2.5L Rocket?

    Because of the special and unique engine, it seems all reviews of Rocket 2.5L are centered and gravitated to solely discussing the engine's capabilities and performance. People rarely talk about the gearbox. May I ask what is your personal experience, and how do you think it stands in...
