Saw my first 2006 Rocket on todays Rat Ride so it was a case of spot the differences! As others have mentioned, the clocks have been relocated forward presumably to allow the tank to hinge upward more easily and off course, the black motor.

Then I noticed it. The boffins at Hinkley have re-routed the rear brake line out of harms way!!! Click for pic

I wonder if someone from T-rat brought this to their attention 9 months ago when this was being discussed on the forum here or are they secretly tuning in for free discussion group info???

Davo

PS If I was Hinkleys lawyer, I think I'd be advising them to do a recall on the entire 10,000 2005 Rockets and retrofit the new brake line for free.
