Exactly what Ulf said. It is in the fine print.

Salivating over the thought of @Paul Bryant exhaust for my 3R. His work is always top notch.
Is it too early to ask the price and options on these? Apologies if already posted and I missed it.

So after reading the last six or seven posts I see all the “Men” of the Rocket world are here, how nice. My TFC has a stock pipe and motor but with Mr. Penner’s tune. It runs great and was on a reliable Dyno making 168hp/ 147 tq. Are y’all saying Mr. Bryant’s pipe will put me close to 200 hp? Sounds like a lot of gain for just a pipe.
Hey Paul why don’t you send me one of those for the new bike and then I’ll have two, one on each motor style.
That Roadster with Bryant pipe and Lush pistons and cams is still pushing 203 at the wheel for 10’000 miles without a single hiccup.

We started with the Penner tune with the new pipe and had to lean it out some, it was running too rich with the new pipe.

I understand everybody wants a smooth-running bike I'm not really sure how you plan to stay planted on 200 horsepower Rocket 3 if the power is actually used? The GT are especially difficult with footpeg location, with windscreens offer little help as your arms and legs are being torn off by the wind. Man, it's hard to breath on these bikes over 150 mph. As the WOPR computer said to Professor Falken "wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess"
That being said 'Vsteel" should a short video on dyno run for his bike sometime Saturday if not I"ll put the link up.

Holding on with 200 Plus HP isn't in itself that difficult, one of the local Guys has a 2.3 L Rocket that's 215 at the back wheel, it is exilerating.
What is definetly challenging of coarse is holding on to the 'bars and keeping the bike going where you want it at 150 plus MPH !

The stock 2.5 is definitely easier to ride than the 2.3 at speeds over 150 mph. The guys were talking about helping out by duct tapping my legs to the bike but I decide to pass
. Of the seven bikes I've ridden on the salt the Rocket 3 this is definitely the hardest bike to stay on at least on the salt.

I can handle 200 hp but I usually don’t go over 140.

A good analogy to being on the salt is take a somewhat rough asphalt road and pour some sand and gravel over it and then go really really fast.

That’s a Rocket, son.
I was just up in Baldwin, MI. about a month ago and we went on a few mile stretch of marbles. Norm, (Sparky) said it was a “new chip road.” I think that’s what he called it.
Scary. Like being on sand or grass on a big, heavy street bike. And we talked about it later. Yes we did. He had a good point that the traction underneath the chips was really good, smooth road. But I didn’t like the subtle wandering that I was feeling. Drawbridge grates. 
Motorcycles are capable of some incredible traction within the forces that they are dealing with. GP guys in the rain? Amazing. But if salt is like that squirrelly feeling? Nope. I tip my hat to the folks that do it.
