    What did you do to your Rocket today?

    Installed PCV and Auto-tune. Like a the man I am I scratched my head poked around to try and figure out how to make it work. Then as a last resort I looked at the manual, then after that desperate act, I read a post on here. I connected it all up let it pop, bang and splutter for a while...

    Another TPS Question

    I had this when I put the hans0 map on my classic. I then used a different map with O2 enabled and it was fine. I'm guessing its to do with O2 vs non 02 sensor enabled and the inherent characteristics or your engine and air intake/exhaust. I've been riding on the O2 enabled map for months with...

    Road Spray 2.5L 3 R

    I would have thought a retractable fender would be innovative way to go. Made of May be 3 parts that tuck under the seat. For 25k it would not be much to ask.

    RAMAIR, so easy a Caveman/Boog can do it

    I would like to nominate the stock air flow pipe as the most boring motorcycle part ever produced ! second only to the plenum as the most boring piece of plastic ever to come out of a factory. :)

    Ramair Filter HP Restriction

    I'm on a similar journey. I've had Ramair on my classic for 6 months, love the noise. Combined with Decat it seems to respond better. I've just ordered Viking headers to combine with decat and slashed stock exhausts. I will be adding a A/F meter just to get some real world figures and a bit of...

    What did you do to your Rocket today?

    I like washing the bike, I do it every time it gets dirty (every time I go out in winter). gives me chance to look her over for any issues such as rust spots or cable / connector covers coming loose. Its how I noticed slight leak from forks last time I cleaned her. Just looks cool when she's...

    Road Safety Thread

    I always find the Noise argument interesting. Large Corps build houses next to motorways and include minimal sound proofing, large corps build airports with flight paths over residential developments. Politicians drive around with loud speaker systems talking mostly nonsense. My view: Bikers...

    Road Safety Thread

    Know your braking distance on every road surface (especially on big bikes) and remember to always look for an escape route. Don't sit behind slow cars or bikes, they are just moving hazards and stress builders. We have torque for a reason, put the hazard behind you. Keep safe!

    LED headlight upgrade

    I have both, added 3.5" LED to either side of stock headlight on a separate power/relay feed. I Like the idea of having redundancy if headlights fails. and additional span at the flick of switch. I'll upgrade the bulbs in stock bowls at some point

    What did you do to your Rocket today?

    Started creating brackets to mount St1300 screen on my Rocket Classic. Toying with the idea of mounting the electric mechanism. One step at a time. always loved the screen on my St1300 :)

    No Fuel Gauge or Sweep

    Take the battery connections off, clean and put back. I left my bike for just a week in the cold, it started ok, but when I stopped for fuel it would not start again. Pushed it home. I tried all the fuses and nothing worked. Tightened the battery terminals, burst into life and has been ok...

    2.5L Rocket Stroker Engine Kit with 6 Speed Transmission (R&D)

    Would be interested in an indicative kit cost, or any ride in service in Ireland or on UK mainland. I just want that torque, not really bothered about HP :) I like the fact that it is undetectable from stock
