Just put a deposit down on a 2005 rocket. Has a turbo kit from turbo connection; www.boostisgood.com Can't wait to get my hands on it.

It has several cosmetic mods that I'm not that crazy about, I'll probably be considering some trade options if you guys are interested.

Custom mods, fenders, corbin seat, radiator, shocks. Will be in touch soon.


I'm still keeping my adventurer, can't part with my baby.

Yes, it was on ebay. I should have it next week. I did my research on it, hope it was enough. Seems like a fair deal.

Seems like a really good deal.. That turbo system ain't cheap, and you're paying about average for a stock used Rocket.. cool!

The guy that put it together seems to really have done his homework. I may change my mind about some of the mods, the more I look at it, they may grow on me. Excited about it. Haven't bought a bike since 96.

It may be like the stock Rocket was to me at first. When I first saw the drawings and then pictures of the prototype, I thought "That is the ugliest bike I have ever seen!" and I've owned a Honda CX 500.. hahaha. But pictures don't do the Rocket justice. It looks so much better in real life than any pictures ake it out to be.

I have to say, when I first saw the ads for that gatlin gun muffler I though the only bike that that muffler would go with proportionately is the Rocket...

Y, that's what I'm hoping. From looking at other forums, this guy was not alone. Many others don't like the radiator sticking out of the sides of the bike. This is why he made a new one. In fact, I think he is selling them. He fabbed it himself from billet aluminum.

He also didnt like the fuel rail cover.
