Third time is a charm

Agree 100%. Have either replaced or upgraded with parts made in the USA. Same with the Rocket.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Have to agree many parts for rocket good cheap parts are in US but import charges kill it for us Brits

Indeed, it is ironic that a motorcycle brand 'manufactured' here and we have to order parts from abroad. I suppose the main thing with the Rocket was that it was primarily designed and marketed for the American market so everything was geared for overseas sales rather than at home. The vast majority of aftermarket parts are made/distributed in the USA too. Australia seems to get a better deal too...oh, woe is us poor Brits!!

Really? -

Right now - AUS/NZ seems to be producing a lot of well engineered things generally.
imo - better than the US produces. NZ is really good for firearms stuff, esp silencers!

That'll teach you all to ignore the commonwealth. :p
