    Ended up ordering a pair of these engine dresser bars from AliExpress and was totally disappointed. The holes don’t line up. Any ideas as to what can be done? AliExpress closes the return window within 48 hours and unfortunately I wasn’t able to try these on to the bike in that time. I don’t...

    Is it advisable to use a front / rear stand like these on the Rocket? Would the weight hold up?

    Insurance?

    This is more of a question for the Canadians on this board... What are you paying in terms of insurance for your Rocket 3? If you could list your year and model with the $$ value that would be great to have a side-by-side comparison. Cheers and thanks in advance!
