So I just received the bike, looks awesome except for some scratches. Still no keys as they were mailed separately with title and paperwork, and I think the package may be lost.
I was repositioning the bike in the garage and noticed that when the the front wheel is turned fully to the left, as...
Afternoon Everybody.
For peace of mind, I changed the oil in my R3R today even if the person I bought it from said they did. I went with Mobile 1 4t 10w/40 and the Wix 51358 filter. End up putting right around 5.5 quarts and the oil is right up to the top line of the dip stick.
Since the R3R...
Bonjour from Montréal! 3 years in and still love turning heads with my R3R! Fresh off this year’s DGR, I was again the only Rocket in the herd of 300+. I’ve only seen 1 on the road in my travels, love riding this unique beast!
I’m very eager to black out my R3R, and looking for a new louder...
Anyone have any idea what this is? Was on my way home from work in an 80K zone dropping down to a 60 K Zone, went to change gears pulled the clutch in and this noise appeared, stopped the bike eventually found nuetral and called a Tow Truck to get it home.
Anyone have any idea what it is??
Finally got somewhat of a sound file of my new exhaust, 4 inch turnout muffler with 2 1/2 inch Baffle inside, gives a nice note not too loud while riding but hit the throttle and it growls like a bear with a sore head! Old skool look = Sexy!
Uploaded video to show sound notes of the new Dave Platt slip-on single.
Dyno chart as well:
I've had a lot of bikes and upgrades, ramair plus slip-on and dyno tune is hands down the most bang for the buck over any of my previous bike upgrades. The rocket really comes alive, quicker...
I was making a video for my Legion Riders Group and as I was putting it together I kept hearing how the mic in my helmet was picking up the sound of the bike. I made a short video to share it with you all. Now my bike has a RAMAir, Viking crossover, and TORS, but man it sounds awesome to me...
Currently ignition tuning the bike, giving the Phormula KS-4 & Pro Tuning Solution a go.
I can use earbuds to listen to the engine as I ride, with all the wind & exhaust noise it would be difficult to hear knock without it. The gauge is also there as a visual.
What I'm listening for here is an...
This system was installed on my bike when I bought it last fall. I uninstalled it over the winter, as I'm a helmet guy and listen to music, etc on in-helmet speakers.
I tested this out when I first got the bike and they are the best motorcycle speakers I've ever heard. Super powerful, super...
hey guys,
i bought a Denali Sound Bomb with the split compressor so the two parts can be mounted on two separate areas of the bike.
can some of you post some pics of how you installed yours?
thanks!

Now that I've had my bike for a few weeks and put a few hundred miles on it I'm starting to notice something I was oblivious to before. When I use the front brake on my '06 Rocket classic I hear a very distinct, "shushhhhhh" sound. It isn't a grinding or squealing sound but not sure it is...
Fellow bikers, just wondering if anyone had the experience. Whenever I ride my bike pass 120km/h, I'll hear a grinding (metal to metal) noise when I relax the throttle. Just cannot figure where it's coming from, other than the clutch or maybe the brake rotors.
Any advice would be greatly...
I'm looking for someone in the North Texas area or Southern Oklahoma area that has a rocket with a carpenter exhaust. I've not been inpressed with the sound of the carpenter exhaust from videos posted online, but people do rave about the sound. Before I try any other performance upgrades to my...
Gentlemen,
I just finished (took nearly a month - part time) replacing the output shaft bearing (as a whole new assemble with new outer case) and she runs GREAT!!! However, it does seam that there is "excessive" noise now shifting into all gears; 1st gear was always a "clunk" but now it seams...
Hi all, looking at getting a system from Paul and just wanted some input from some folks that may already be running one. Or some sound clips would be nice looks aren't a problem. I think they look great.
I've been in contact with Paul for awhile now and he's been great to deal with.
As for...
I have looked without success for a sound clip for the CES exhaust but to no avail. Any Captains out there heard them both? I know its subjective but tell me anyway which one you thought sounded better and why.
I've been riding my Rocket to work again (usually ride my Suzuki DR650 supermoto as it's far better in traffic) and I've noticed it getting very warm by my right leg, moreso than what I ever remember...even though it's over 90 degrees here in the afternoon.
I also notice a kind of grinding...
