What's wrong with it? How is the engine heat compared to the Rocket?

The Rocket puts out more heat than the water cooled Ultra, the only difference is that the Rocket stays together and the Ultra has to have a chase vehicle picking up parts falling, at 2 months old the Ultra had to have the clutch replaced, at my cost, the shocks replaced under warranty, the auxiliary lights repaired and the info center repaired,,,,,almost forgot, the shifter fell apart and i had to put it back together in the middle of nowhere and the tools they give you are as good as a pile of bricks because nothing fits that nut

That's amazing. Why do people buy those things? I had an '83 Sportster. Pretty good bike.

Although I really like my H-D Fat Bob, it's definitely not a Rocket! The H-D guys I sometimes ride with spend a very significant amount of time before and during rides tightening screws and bolts that have vibrated loose. In addition to my Rocket, my other bikes are in-line fours so when I first drive off on my Fat Bob, I think WTH, it feels like it's not running right but they I quickly remember it's a V-Twin and it's normal...

The only HD I had was an '82 Ironhead Sporty that was a good bike too.

I would surely notice the heat on the Rocket, but it never really bothered me, even on long days in the saddle.

The rear cylinder on the Indian however cooks my leg even on the short 17 mile ride home from work.

Lots of the Indian riders complain about it on their forum, me? I ain't no ***** I just ride on baby.

I was looking at the Indian when I found the Rocket. They are nice and comfy. I love the electric windshield.
