I don't think it is a repeat but there's a lot more info on the RIII forums. And some drama. I guess someone got banned from the .net site over them. In general those RIII people aren't as nice as us.  My Rocket is plenty fast for me for now. And there's a lot of simple things I can do to it to really blow my mind, should I get bored with the current power.

Probably not John, the T-bird is fast enough for me and that is a few seconds faster than my brain can handle.....

Wish someone would have posted a video of that thing runnin' down the track!  I'd LOVE to hear it with that header/exhaust. 
And you may see me tonight

I would just like it to be a little smoother and a little noisier.

There is some vibration isn't there, John? Maybe a little clunky in the shifting too? I still like the engine a whole lot and think my first engine mod will the gipro-atre.

Shifting doesn't bother me. I may have a loose radiator cover or something. There's a buzz that isn't necessarily the engine. I need to spend some quality time looking for fasteners to tighten.
I ordered the Eastern Beaver relay kit today to save my ignition switch. I also ordered the clear turn signal lenses from Brent. I already have the Rivco license plate bracket. The Kuryakyn grips and Breakaway cruise control slated for the America will probably now go on the Rocket instead. The Go Cruise from FastEddy works better on the Americas anyway. Performance wise I don't know how soon I'll crack that nut. Probaby with the GIPRO as well. Maybe the Jardines, a K&N, and a PC5. That trio is about $1300 right there so I'm in no rush.
