I have some engine guards that I am wanting to install. I went to loosen the top bolt that holds the engine (yes I had a jack under it to hold the engine up)to mount the guard but I could not get that bolt out no matter how much pressure I could put on it. Am I missing something? Any help or...

I am hoping for some help and advice. I happened to notice that clutch actuator arm (I have no idea what else to call it) is not lined up as it is suppose to be.

Sign of a healthy organization is constructive change. Some members have suggested, and we agree, an engine swap is involved enough, particularly if the replacement engine is from a different model year; Shawn has established a new sub forum to cater to this topic. I will be moving some...

Hi, I know it's not a Rocket subject but has anyone had experience of the new Harley Milwaukee Eight engine which was introduced last year fitted in new Harley motorcycles? Have they fixed the failures they had with the engines when first introduced? I have just put down a deposit on a new Road...

After two bad R3 owner experiences, I still have the carcass of my 2007 R3. I have just purchased a 2015 Rocket3X motor, with 12,700 Kms on it. My question is will it fit straight into my existing 2007 frame, is there any difference in power, what was the significance of the R3X as I have been...
