    I keep hearing there is no substitute for cubic inches, so I have gone and bought another Triumph Rocket.

    I initially missed out on the allocation of Rocket Roadster X's that came to Australia, and 2 weeks ago, I heard of a bargain buy in Melbourne that only had 720 Km's on the clock.
    I flew over and waved a wad of cash under his nose, and rode her straight back to Adelaide. I did more Km's in one day than the original owner did in 14 months.
    Anyway, here she is.

    She is off to Neville Lush Racing on Monday to fit one of his 180 RWHP kits, just because they don't have enough HP stock lol.

    It's a ripper LoftyBob. 
    Build a ramp and point it toward Tassie, reckon you could make it with that 260 hp and trajectory.
    Old Evel Knieval would've been onto one of these like a rocket eh!
    Oh, yeah, it is a fuckin' Rocket!

    Hey Lofty that looks badass.  Can you review what these are like to ride?  I contemplated getting one of these a couple years back.  What are the 'major' differences (aside from power etc) in comparison to Big Twin Harleys?  
    Thanks mate.

    New 1.5" T Bars from Thunderbike New Zealand arrived today as well. Makes holding on a lot easier.

    A set of CES Headers in black ceramic are on order to unlock another 30 RWHP

    Had some parts away being powder coated, so decided to remove her fat arse to find some locations for the NOS solenoids to hide.

    Took the opportunity to fit some black LED indicators on the rear fender struts.

    Hey Lofty, i saw your time down the quarter on this bike think 9's?. How did you get it to shift quick? I was expecting they would be hard to shift gear quick with that sort of Torque?
