There are so many wonderful things to buy & ad to your Rocket to make it special to you. Gary from Metcruze is making a lot of his own tricky bits for his bike... Yes he has promised photo's soon!

I would like to hear from everyone or anyone their wish list if money and time were not a problem... C'mon, be creative... What would you, might you, do to your Rocket if you could...??? :-) :-)

If money and time were not a problem ?

Wilbers 633 TS shocks
Wilbers fork springs
Corbin Fasgun solo saddle
Boostisgood turbo kit

That's ok for my bike...

...but I will offer :

A nice K&N air filter for Ron, :wink:

A THUNDERBIKE exhaust system for Davo :-D

A new gearbox for Jaimie,

A paint job for all Red Rocket owners !
They are all dreaming about a wonderfull JET BLACK rocket ! :-D

K&N only work well on Jap cars. Anything else is too powerful for it. FOAM, Jack, FOAM. Also, it fits better and conforms to the underside better....... :nana:

A custom supercharger kit that delivers 250+ ponies to the rear wheel;

A user-programmable Triumph ECU;

A 3/4 fairing that doesn't look dorky;

A custom British Racing Green paint job;

Turn most of my chrome into flat black (leave a little bit for accents;

Michelle Pfeiffer on the pillion. :-D :-D :-D

SteveRed · 07-06-2005

Michelle Pfeiffer eh Rick... you're showing your age mate!

HeyTrackerjack... I have been told that Black goes with everything, even ass....ls. And black definately makes you look thin! Maybe that's why I only see FAT riders on Black Rockets?

Only yoking, my BM is Black but my Rocket is RED!

Thanks for the input guys.. (oops & gals)

I would like a heat shield for the exhaust to keep your leg from cooking in the summertime, and then some kind of body work that would use the engine heat in the winter to keep you warm. It has already been 100 F. here, but I keep thinking about how great that engine heat will be when the weather turns cold.

RickL,
You must be my long lost twin.
The Brit Green has been on my mind from day one,
and Michelle's been on my mind since way before day one.

(Guess I'm showing my age, but I still think she's more fun to look at than any of the new movie babes.)
