I applaud all the efforts to make the new Rocket a two up bike but I’m not even going to try. Thankfully my wife has her own bikes and our daughter rides one of her mothers Indians. I think making a Rocket into a full day two Rider bike is like trying to make an apple taste like an orange.😅
I think the clutch has a very light pull especially considering what the mechanism has to handle. My Recluse clutch on my Indian Springfield is buttery light and luxurious compared to the Barnett upgraded clutches on my other Indians.
I still wheelie my Roadster occasionally and do really enjoy the ability to do that. The TFC won’t wheelie for chit and I don’t like that about the bike. This probably my biggest disappointment with the new model.
I think my rear is 30% of my breaking and I just have to double hit it first thing or after a stop. Mine is tolerable but not ideal. I’ve seen less than perfection in many bikes but I do love both my Rockets.;)
I had the recall lager module put in and was fine for about a year or better but now it is returning. It does pump up with one push of the pedal but it’s still not right.
That was a major flashback. I rode that type of machine as a kid and had my first big crash. The handlebars broke off at the bottom of the hill and I was endo. That’s when I first learned to run from the cops.;)
