    Why R3 front end won't work well on RIIIs

    I was considering this swap, primarily for the offset axle which provides extra trail for a given fork angle. Posting for anyone who might search for it in the future. As it turns out this is a non-starter, for an odd reason. Online, you'll find a 27.9 degree steering angle often repeated...

    The aftermath

    The salt was a fickle partner. (Lined up for the record pass) I just want to let everyone know what happened. Justdad rode like hell through the whole event. The salt was wet, slick, and difficult to read. Usually it's bright off-white and dry on course and the wet spots are visible as dark...

    Connection Issue Help For 2.5.8

    So after years of fighting with this stupid issue, blaming windows, or the cable, or TuneECU, I found the real culprit today while helping a fellow captain out. The ftdi driver was the underlying intermittent connection issue the whole time. After installing the updated driver from here, the...

    Want to Buy Rear Wheel in AUS

    Any 16x7.5 Rocket 3 rear wheel, ABS ring is not a concern. Classic, Standard, Roadster, etc to be shipped from within Australia already so I can avoid international rates. Appearance not critical as long as it's straight. Thanks in advance.

    Enlisting Mufasa for Salt Duty

    A log of work preparing for the salt next year. Currently the bike is filthy, on a center stand, and not quite fully assembled. My list of work (in no particular order) to prep for a number over 176.6mph: - 17" Rear Wheel needs to be ordered - Caliper Rebuild or switch to Hel Calipers -...

    Captain Down, selling an essentially brand new R3GT

    Browsing Facebook today I found a post of a captain who injured his back and is now paralyzed, permanently. He's put his brand new R3 up for sale for a good price, only 3200 miles on it. Just posting this to raise awareness, I have no personal involvement with him. Sounds like a tough...

    My log of Alice's transformation into "my bike"

    Just using this to consolidate and preserve (for my own use mostly), the process of modifying my Z H2. (Pictures to follow from phone). Thoughts as delivered: Power is over the top. Kawasaki was insane to deliver this motorcycle to the public: it's flat out probably the most dangerous bike in...

    Paint Colors

    Hoping to draw on community knowledge here. I'm going to paint the tank, radiator shrouds, and a few other bits on my bike. I am over the Satin/Matte finish. What I'm after is a nice, deep metallic black, something like the metallic black dodge uses, but the dodge color isn't dark enough...

    A little Lean Angle fun

    So I was playing with some still shots from the GoPro footage @1olbull shot on the Coronado Trail. Interestingly, using some software I was able to get some pretty accurate guesses at ultimate mid-corner lean angle. Comparing the same corner: 1olbull seems to be regularly hitting 34 degrees...

    This made my day

    This made me smile today, I love the 3/6/12 cylinder engine sound, so smooth and this has a nice growl to it:

    Stalling when coasting in neutral, hard hot starts need throttle

    I have had this issue since brand new, and I'm not the only one: 2007 Rocket III Classic, stalling when coming to stop? Stalling when starting warm brand new R3 stalls out in traffic - YIKES! Occasional stalling coming to stop How did you fix your stalling problem? And there's a whole host...

    Good Old ICE Tech Video

    For those who know David, here's a great old one. 48:00 kind of was eye opening for me, a literal aha moment :p I hear and see SO many of the things he says (and has been saying for decades) echoed from various sources.
