    Wishes for the 2013 Rocket 3?

    might as well wish big... This is the modded bike I would build if money was no option. Tried to keep list to stuff that would not require major re-tooling of production but rather adding on and adapting mostly off the shelf hardware. The fairing and headers would probably the most...

    Rivco Air Horn

    Wolo air horn I took the lazy mans way out. removed the plastic star cover and factory horn and mounted my Wolo air horn right on the same bolt hole as was the factory. took more time to go to autozone and get the relay and wire than to make the swap. Jeff

(Metzler?) extra benefit- taller tire added...

    just went dark about 2 hours ago

    Actually after 200 some miles, I have observed the following: handles curves like it was glued to the pavement smoother ride takeoff feels normal braking feels solid during hurry stops, otherwise normal hard accel has a split second hesitation, then warp speed as usual does seem to coast...
