Gary,
Welcome from Germany! Paint looks great! Do you have a short muffler under the bike or crossover for only a left side pipe? Definitely a different idea!
Is your speedo original for 05?
Hoping to ride the Pyrenees next spring! I've heard it's beautiful!

There is a short muffler under the bike, exits on the left just in front of rear wheel, has a removable baffle, which I have removed, and it sounds great, and makes the rear end look real tidy, also shows off the fat rear wheel more,, I hated having odd number of silencers!, and yes the speedo is original....
You wont regret doing Pyrenees ... make sure you get to Andorra...

Hi all,
I'm the Deviant Donkey....
I ride a slightly modified 2005 rocket III and a very modified Yamaha 1100 dragstar...
I live in Andalucía near the Granada mountains.
I use the dragstar for local runs, and the rocket for those longer rides where I need to eat the miles..
but I have to confess I am starting to use the rocket more and more..
Ive done the Pyranees on it, Portugal and most of spain.
The rocket has a custom paint job which I did myself, it has a custom exhaust and has had a performance map from Quantum tuning.
just put on the new Bridgestone Exedra rear tyre, wasn't happy with the metzler... May even try a darkside next as most of the miles are straight line stuff, although I have done booth peg pins!!
welcome to the semi geriatric club of semi sane riders you live and ride in near paradise and except for the guardia civile everything else is fabulous in spain been there for 5 years all over as I was flying for Iberia I loved been based in Barcelona too bad I did not have a rocket3 then. take pictures and make us envious!!
