2004 Rocket 3
I decided to post it here as a future memoir for the members present and these to come of what it takes to have a Rocket brought back to full operational life.
This bike has been damaged and neglected for a couple of years in the north of France. Just acquired a new tank and starting off with stuff I want/need to change to make it my own.

Had dozens of bikes in the past. T7 World Raid, r80gs, r1100rt, r1100gs now. This three cylinder conundrum is really something else

just noticed that you have 2004 standard
and you posted on the rocket III touring forum
don't know if it makes a lot of difference
might want to choose another thread
 
True that Turbo but is there a STANDARD forum? If yes i apologise for creating this post here - is there a possibility to move a thread or point a place more appropriate?

I took a look at the forums and doesn't look like a good forum to post (should have done that b4 i posted.
the only thing that i see is the forum (general tech talk)
i guess if some one complains then have them find the correct forum
