Nooooooooooooo! Just looked at my VIN and my Rocket was made in Thailand. So much for my dream of visiting its birthplace in Hinckley. Sniff....

Tford69,
Welcome sir.
I know you like your paint scheme,
and the guys on red, claret, mulberry, whatever it truly is,
will say the red is a comparable color for a Rocket,
but alas, there's no comparing it to a solid BLACK Rocket.
I hope you got a deal on it, cause everybody knows, they use the second hand,
inferior parts on the red ones and reserve the quality parts for the black ones.
Don't know about the red haze, maybe some good parts on it, I hope so
for your sake. Good luck and welcome to the site..
