Hi Guys,

Just joined and am looking for the gear ratio's for a 2008 Classic... can anyone help?

I've got them for the roadster 2010 but don't known if they are the same...

Roadster =

1st: 41/14 / 2nd: 37/19 / 3rd: 33/23 / 4th: 29/25 / 5th: 27/28 / Final drive: 37/13


Reason for asking is that I'm helping to develop an analogue (dial-type) gear indicator for the Rocket...


Will post details here when its done...

Cheers

Hedgehog

I believe that they are the same, but they are in the manual.

Cheers mate. I've found them in the manual....and I'll run with these. They will be used to calibrate the gear indicator, so if they are different on the bike I have we'll soon know..

Thanks

Thanks. The sort of thing we're thinking of it the same as we did for my Valkyrie (top centre in pic). It matches the chrome speedo and tacho covers and will look a lot better than an LED one.

If anyone is interested in such a gear indicator for their Rocket, let me know and I'll work out a price. I'm doing one for Bigbikemad Magazine (which is essentially me) but could do a few more.

OK... its a fun gadget - cool to watch the arm sweep round the dial as you change gear - looks more appropraite on an eccentric bike like the rocket... also same shape and colour as the existing instruments...
