    Can anyone identify this rubber band?

    @Jag. That made me laugh, but its also very sad. Kind of mirrors the rest of the Western world.

    Can anyone identify this rubber band?

    @Webbo Ah! I think you may've solved the problem. Thanks. I did lift the seat to see what was in the area of where the band came from and saw the assorted wiring etc. I guess the arrow head bit on the band was threaded through and around the box? What a pathetic arrangement! A bit of wire...

    Can anyone identify this rubber band?

    @Jag We live here under a 'nanny' state (EU) unfortunately. Must be great to live in a country where they allow you to be responsible for yourself.

    Can anyone identify this rubber band?

    Thanks. I guess it could be something that got left in there when it was assembled? Funny arrow part on it made me wonder if it was some sort of rubber seal. It went in for its first MOT test today and passed, even with the loud exhaust. They tightened up the decibel laws in the UK this year...

    Can anyone identify this rubber band?

    Hi Folks. I was cleaning the bike today, and noticed a little thread of something hanging down. Thinking it was a bit of debris, I pulled gently and this came out. It has an arrow shaped part on it. I've ringed in red the area I pulled it from.

    Rocket III as a first bike?

    My 2p’s worth. I never even sat on a motorbike until the age of 65. I had already looked at the Rocket (2016) before I learned to ride and pass my test. I’m 6’ 2” and about 190lbs. Medium build. Just take it easy until you’re really used to it, the weight especially. 3 years on and I’m fine...

    Spy shots new rocket

    Don’t like the rear of it either. Showed the concept photo to a mate, said he preferred the style of my current Rocket. My missus doesn’t like it either. If I had the money, I wouldn’t be interested enough to take one for a test ride.

    Who bought their Rocket from new and why did you choose it?

    A bike licence was the only licence I didn’t have, so I learned to ride in 2016. Reason for buying the Rocket new? I saw a brand new one way back in 2004 and vowed if ever I got a bike licence, I would buy a new Rocket.

    Hi Forum

    Hi Mikey, and welcome! My wife and I are planning a week in August in the north of Spain. I’ve been there before but not on a bike. Stunning roads and scenery. It will be great to post up some pics. Have a great time.

    Do I still need a tune from HansO?

    M @Grumpy Ole Codger - So, here are the print outs of my Dyno today. I asked for smoothness and longevity as priorities and this is how it turned out. It certainly feels more responsive but mostly small roads and rush hour traffic on the trip home. I’ll open her up on the weekend and see if it...

    Do I still need a tune from HansO?

    @Grumpy Ole Codger - Well, what a beautiful day for a ride. I gave the new setup a workout and what a sound! It’s like anti aircraft guns pumping away. It’s booked in to Dynotine for this Tuesday. If I can I’ll get to the meet at the Ace Cafe in London on Saturday. Be good to see and you and...

    Do I still need a tune from HansO?

    @Grumpy Ole Codger Well, I finally fitted the Ramair and David Platt Outlaw pipes today. More accurately I helped someone else do it. A bit of cursing got it all done in 3 hours as we took it easy. The sound on startup is phenomenal! I’m calling Dynotech Tuesday to book it in for a proper tune...

    Independent Rocket mechanic, please

    Sorry, I can only reiterate the one near me in Basingstoke. Long way for you no doubt, but definitely worth the trip.

    Chrome polish

    I used to use Solvol Autosol which is brilliant, but it’s also an abrasive paste. I now use any quality car paint polish. Finish is perfect.

    Rust spots in petrol tank

    I didn’t check the original thread. :rolleyes: That sounds like a great result. I’m sure I’ll be saying the same after they’ve done mine. An electrician working here also rides, but not a Rocket, and he and all his pals use Dynotech, all are unanimous in their praise.
