Hello, I just picked up this 2011 Rocket III roadster. I’ve been wanting to get a rocket for a long time and finally got my hands on one. This one is going to need a little attention before I get it on the road, it’s been sitting a while and the tires have 2014 dates on them. So once I get some fresh tires on it I’ll get to really see what these bikes are all about.

I’m finding out that it may be more difficult to buy aftermarket accessories than I expected. I’ll just have to keep an eye out on this forum for parts for sale.
The bike had old gas in it and ran a little rough when I got it, so I went ahead and pulled the injectors and sent them off to be cleaned. I also got a fuel filter and the seal for the gas tank so I could replace that while I have it all apart. The fuel gauge showed nearly empty when it was full so I’ll also try to see if i can correct that while I’m in there.

Just in case: Those fuel gauges don't register till your ride about 5 or 6 miles after filling the tank. Don't know if that is your case. It is on my Touring.
