Gentlemen (and ladies),
Have had the Rocket for 11 years now and it is time for me to broaden the horizon a bit. Selling the Rock this spring. Time to move on. Just put down payment on a new bike, BMW R NineT Scrambler. Need to keep moving and going to BMW from Triumph seems like an awkward...
Want to fit new gauges to the Rocket since I have put a new handlebar on the bike and it makes the gauges stick out too much if you ask me. Found this interesting little piece and would love to fit it.
It is probably possible but I am not sure and I do not wanna spend the money just for...
Well, that was just too close.
Approx a month ago in my neighborhood. Steep steep narrow downhill road. Not going fast, maybe 40 kmh (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=40 kmh in mph). And in a blind corner I meet a car going at more or less the same speed. I slam on the brakes, release em and dodge right...
Since everyone in Sweden is riding with fly screen and the rock looks front heavy, I had to go the other way. Bridgestone rear tyre, Biltwell handle bar and bar end mirrors. Not completely done, but enough for this year.

Wasn't supposed to go this year but things changed :)
Will post pictures and some of them will include drunk people.
Cheers.
Hey captains,
Did anyone try to fit a tracker bar to their Rocket? I am really curious to know if you really need a pair of risers with this since you don't have the same amount of pullback on these bars compared to the original. Would hopefully not hit the tank. I really want to lean more...
Not much done this year, but still.
Did the honker starter relay fix, works like a charm. Doesn't show on pictures tho.
Blacked out the front fender.
Side panels, badge removed, will replace with sticker :)

A rocket friend of ours got this fridge from his lovely wife for his 50th birthday. When on a business trip we...
Captains, this is what I have done for 2012.
- Bellypan added.
- Relocated turn signals, front and back. Home made brackets.
- Relocated license plate. Home made license plate holder with space for tiny LED. Relocator from v4a.eu site.
- Some minor stuff blacked out.
Still to go. STEBEL...
Apparently Stebel has gone out of business in June this year. The horns will be a rarity soon, so if you are thinking about buying one but have not yet, this would be the final call. Just letting y'all now.
Since I don't have highway pegs and/or engine bars I found myself moving the foot backwards when driving for a while, just to change feet positioning.
Nowhere to rest the heel tho, keeping the tension in the calves. Dammit, what to do?
Found this tiny little screw, replaced it with a longer...
