Been riding this for two years, just sold, went to the Netherlands. Really depressed with out a toy.
Might get a Indian Scout and Turbo it to go chase Rockets.
Handling equals the rocket or better. The big Chiefden handles better at low speed due to less rake.
The best is the ride quality. Rocket-- Model T Ford. Ingin -- Rolls Royce. Sorry but nice to see an American Co. catching up. Ride one.
Rocket head, what can I say about performance after the Rocket.
Performance-- Like a bob tail diesel - 1500 to 4000 rpm then it's done. Just when the Rocket is starting to run this thing quits.
But the performance is right where I ride.( Old fart.) The most satisfying power band of any bike I've...
Amen Boog. Out of three victorys the Hi ball ( with factory apes) was the best handling most comfy one of all.
Use to think apes were just to prevent SAP till I road one with them. Only 14 inches. Wouldn't try them on the rocket though.
So since this intake improvement has been going on since 2004 does anyone have dyno torque results for stock and improved systems? you might gain at some RPMs but will lose in other's.
Sure we can beat the engineers. Lets see it.
Be fun to cut up and make look right. Plastic is easy. Bear claw with a scoop could replace that starwars radiator shrould. Anyone found the 1/4 mile times??
