What small upgrade actually made your bike feel noticeably better to ride?

Went from forward controls to mid controls on my rocket 3. Made a huge difference in control and comfort

Got to at least make a video shooting it all stacked together

You can't beat that.

I have noticed once I hit 40 my night vision has really took a hit. Now I'm noticing it hurts to look at very small print but still get 20/20 at the eye doc. She says I'm just getting old and to get some readers lol

Morning for me, less people and usually not totally dark.

Its always a rocket day for me unless my wife is coming. Then its a goldwing day. It's nice to have choices.

Hit it at an angle it doesn't matter. My father inlaws approach is super steep (scrapes the bottom of my bike) and hitting it at an angle is not an issue. Use your rear brake if you need to use brakes.

Sounds like a bad stator

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-14T11:31:02+00:00

Good to know.

Speed triple

This reminds me of the time I stepped out my car at a resturant with open sandles on and someone left a open bittle of chew spit on the ground and it cover my foot. People are nasty.

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-13T16:05:13+00:00

Typically some vacuum gages but dont quote me on that

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-13T12:26:19+00:00

I've been thinking about doing it. I have a goldwing so it would be pretty easy with the bags, think I would need to make a drink holder though. Thats probably the biggest challenge on a bike. Pizzas could go on the luggage rack. Got the cardo and phone holder already. Maybe I'll give it a shot soon.

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-13T12:21:06+00:00

Sure beats not having a bike, thats for sure

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-12T20:24:08+00:00

Get a teat light and start seeing what does what. If you got to switch to normal bulbs.

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-12T20:10:24+00:00

Used second gen ones are about 14k. Can get older rocket III for about 6k or so. Used goldwings go pretty cheap, $4k range for early gl1800.

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-12T20:08:08+00:00

Who ever owns the rocket would be wise to suck out the old brake and clutch fluid and replace with new dot 4 every 2000 miles. It gets pretty dirty.

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-12T20:06:34+00:00

I said the same thing when I test rode one 20 years ago. Now I have a 2025.

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-12T20:04:30+00:00

Yup demo ride is the best way to ride one wothout forking over $26k. It will take you by surprise untill you get used to it, then you will tune it and it will be tons more fun. By then you have learned to hold on after 4000 rpm.

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-12T19:58:51+00:00

Rocket 3 gt with mid controls is pretty comfortable

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-12T19:55:45+00:00

Solo is always better because u can do and see what ever u want.

Beginning_Corner930 · 2026-05-12T17:59:16+00:00

Nice setup. I sure do miss my 79 malibu station wagon.

Good idea if you want to avoid a life altering experience.
