New Rocketeer

[John new Rocketter]

So i now own a brand new Rocket 3 touring.
Well it is a 2014 but it was brand new as it only had 4 miles on it.
I have riden many years and this is truly a new experience

I have installed the TOR's and have the Ramair kit on the way.

I plan to open the Cat and gut it out. Any suggestions or tips?

It seems a little soft when turning hard?
I would like to drop the rear end about 1 to 1.5 inches. I am flat footed but it feels tall.

I know there is a lot of experience here and I look forward to hearing advice from those that have riden this beast.

Hello John and welcome from Virginia. If you have TORs on it now, you no longer have cats as they are in the OEM pipes.

G'day and Welcome john from down under,if you can get your hands on a cat box delete pipe not only will it compliment the sound of the Tors it will rev out better,that box (the abomination) under the bike is a maze the exhaust gas has to struggle through I am sure Paul Bryant will post the details of the excellent pipe he manufactures in NZ if you ask

Welcome from NJ,
Get a new crossover pipe from @Paul Bryant
Get rid of those factory tires, they are junk. I have Michelin commander 2's. I have put on, front 130-90B-16
Rear 180-???-16 forgot the profile but is the only size they make in 180/16.
Huge difference in ride and handling!! Plus lowers the bike just a little.
Make sure you get tune ECU and a cable so you can put a proper tune in her. Just reach out to @HansO for a tune and he will hook you up.

Good luck with your new ride!
