slick rick profiled.

[slick rick]

my names rick or 'slick rick' is what my mates call me, either is ok with me. New Zealand maori by birth, now living in Perth australia.i drive roadtrains to adelaide/sydney/brisbane melbourne or any where else. i own '06 rocket 3. currently its being pulled down so i can ship the head/cams to bob carpenter racing, in the u.s i'm hoping to end up with a very quick allround ride. i like the 'clean' look not the big bolt on bits[supercharger/turbo ..etc..] sort of sleeper thats ready to rumble at any time.i'm not big on fancy paint or too much chrome...just not my thing....practical i'd call myself,so if any one has this set up i'd love to hear about it.

G'day from the Gold Coast Rick, that's a hell of alot of rev's your getting are you doing anything else to the engine?

Welcome aboard Rick.

Welcome to R3.net, 9000rpm .... wow, that's impressive for an R3 motor. Is there anything done to the lower end for those revs? I know the new valve springs and head-work will prevent the valves from floating into the tops of the pistons, but is the lower end strong enough for that?

I'd love to hear an R3 at 9000rpm .... that's gotta be an awesome experience since they sound/feel like coming apart at 3000.

I want to know what exhaust you're gonna run.
If I'm not mistaken, carpenters has their own exhaust setup.
Header looked pretty good from what I remember.
Anybody got a pic?
