    any thoughts about engine bumps

    My first guess too. Very common for the R3. Crimp the blade connector a little so it holds tighter.

    How hard is that? Mine has been out for years.

    200 Horsepower Rocket 3 vs 100 Horsepower Thruxton R at Drag strip

    It's all about keeping the company lawyers happy. The Engineers send it out rather tame, knowing that with a simple tune you can gain 25 hp. Surely with intake/exhaust/&tune you're almost to 200 hp W/O doing internal mods on a monster that will run circles around our 1st gen R3s. They probably...

    Bad weather and rain

    It was 2 actually. Water above the seats. Lots of water in the crank case of both. Changed the oil a few times on both, and they ran great.

    I don't know where this should be posted, but I just found out today that @nolton was found dead at his house. Apparently he's been gone a couple of days. RIP my brother 😞

    When you install the quick shifter, could you please do a write up, or YouTube video? 😁👍🏼

    Can a Rocket III take down the establishment, and rule this island

    My only experience with DS on an R3 was that over 100 mph it started weaving. Your results may vary.

    Self stabilizing boots for Old Fart's

    I'm sure some ingenious old fart will figure out how to use the hydraulic part for stiffening other things. Until then I'll keep using popsicle sticks, & duct tape. 😏

    Cod Rocket

    I call my Roadster Betty, but it's from Spiderbait's Black Betty. The Classic is black & red, so a friend always said it reminded her of Harley Quinn, so I call her Harley.

    Missing Captains - Where Are They Now?

    Nolton is not doing well. He's lost most of his muscle mass, and is swollen from his poor kidney function. I saw him a couple of weeks ago and it's a sad situation. 😔

    Question for the BST/any Carbon Fiber wheel owners.

    Exedra MAX 130/70 R18 But it turns in too quickly for me, and feels squirrely above 150, so next time I'm going with a 140 instead of the 130.

    Widowmaker Journey to 200hp, no thats been done. 250hp !

    Haven't been on here for a while. Just read the whole 48 pages, all excited about your build. Sorry about your motor bro. I'm on my 3rd block, and had 1 head busted too. We play hard and pay a lot to be able to. Never give up brother. You wanna go fast like Ricky Bobby, well all I can say...

    Carpenter Drag Headers...Love em or Hate em!

    I doubt it would be a waste. I have the original Carp pipe (plus RX440, & a custom tune from Tommy Micelli) on my 06 with no motor work, and gained 50 hp over stock. I'd expect some impressive numbers from the 2500 with that pipe, a free breathing intake, and a custom tune from Tommy.
