    bike dolly

    I do not knnow about most of you but backinng out of my garage is nearly inpossible due to slope so I looked a all possibilities in the end a bike dolly made the most sense buying one is also near impossible with a rear tire of 240 dimension and some are rather flimsy looking so I made...

    Hello from New Zealand - 2004 Rocket III - Project Bike

    Hi all, I am new to the forum and looking for some guidance (via searching forums first of course) on doing a full custom of my 2004 Rocket III I bought from my father in law. It only has 7,000 kilometers on it so pretty fresh engine but the body and paint is a bit tatty after being left...

    Roadster didn't start & check engine light

    Not sure if anyone has heard of this problem based on these "hints" (I'm not mechanically inclined): 2012 Rocket Roaster with Carpenter Brute exhaust, Power Commander, air box delete, triple K&N filters, 37,000km I put in about 600km since I got her this winter. Has been running like a charm...

    They are nice bikes just a bit small.

    They hired a new guy at work. Mr Harley Davidson himself. He has all the tattoos neat looking sunglasses and of course the Harley Davidson t-shirt. He even had genuine Harley Davidson boots on. Of course the supervisor who we get along with real well hooked him up with me to show him around and...

    Blown away by a sportbike in the twisties...

    So, I know this is a cruiser, but it's also much, much more, so I guess my expectations are very high for its handling. Well today, while on my usual ride through the canyons, a sportbike appeared in my rear view mirror, seemingly out of nowhere. So, I signaled for him to go by me, but then...

    Robot riding a bike

    Love the trading wheels, I wonder how far they will take it and what safety feature they will dream up Meet Motobot: Yamaha's Motocycle-Riding Robot

    Surprised a sport bike rider

    So I've owned my '05 now for one year, I have enjoyed the power on the back roads alone although I have never really toyed with any other riders until yesterday. I was riding to work minding my own business cruising at about 80 mph when I see a sport bike coming up behind me in my mirror. He...

    Colonial Beach Bike Fest 2015

    Alibi up front: I am not comparing any of these machines to the Rocket! I went to the Colonial Beach Bike Festival on Saturday Oct 10 and test rode six Harleys. Why? Because variety is the spice of life and I knew Brahma would not get jealous if I rode a few other bikes. First ride is the Soft...

    Stripped the Bike

    Now that I have my 2011 roadster it was finally time to strip my old faithfull bike before I sell it, I took everything off except the handlebar risers and the triple K&Ns to much trouble better just leaving them. Time to part with a bunch of stuff a wee list more might follow Maddog exhaust...

    Jump started bike; have no headlights

    Had to jumpstart the bike ... wouldn't quite turn over. It's a 2014 with only 3k miles so I was surprised by that, but still. Hook up my charger/jumper for a few, start it up and off I go. Sun goes down and I notice ... I have no headlights. Running lights, signals, etc are ok. Hi/low beam...

  14. How tough is the driveline on these bikes?

    Considering the Rocket gets a lot of mods, like the Carpenter stage 1 and 2 kits, blowers, etc., how does the driveline hold up on this bike? Coming from an M109R, which had a weak driveline, the question popped into my head. There were guys that actually snapped the drive shaft on 109s from...

    interesting thought about new sport bikes

    So we were bsing about motorcycles at work and a buddy made this statement. All these new ****** rockets are just cheaper versions of gp bikes. Yet the way they make em cheaper is to take off all the stuff that makes them handle better yet they are almost identical in power and speed. Which he...

    Finally got to pick up my bike

    Made it to Carpenter Racing. Got to meet Bob Carpenter. Great guy, really friendly. And a special thanks to @TriumphPhil for the ride from the airport to the shop. So far I've gone 216 miles to Front Royal, VA. In the morning I'll be riding Skyline Dr, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

    Help me decide on my next bike

    I'm trying to decide what to replace my vtx1800 with. I'm shipping it down to Fla for vacations and need a replacement. Want to get big bike with flat out speed. Looked at Vmax but it's really a 1 person bike with little options for storage. Test drove Rocket dresser and love it. Read that...

    Adventure bikes

    Man, I always thought adventure bikes were lame. If you want a street bike, just get a street bike. If you want a dirt bike just get one, they're way better at it. But, I started watching youtube videos about guys going on rides to alaska and other cool and rugged destinations, and it seems like...
