Can's off

After a week from taking my 2004 Roc home and reading this thread I just took off the can. The whole process took about 5 minutes. Loosened the lower bolt at the cat joint, removed the upper bolt, and slipped off the pipe. I rode about 5 miles. The first impression was to have lost a bit of torque a...

Thanks to all for the replies.

I found that the nut came off from one of the two bolts inside the back "mud flap" for lack of a better term. Right inside the tag support.

Amazing how the nut ended up where I found it, especially after a ride.

Help, found loose hex nut

Happy

Pure exhilaration! Just rode back 60 miles from the dealer, what a rush :D :D :D I hadn’t been on a bike in almost a year and, by all means, this is a confidence inspiring bike. The bike has an excellent stability, immediately tested by a very strong side wind on the FL Turnpike. I did finall...

GOT IT!

Love at first ride!

Rides beautifully. The bike is extremely easy to handle and feel way lighter in motion than on the stand. I Love the way the bike shakes and moves sideways when throttle is opened :)

Left a deposit and as soon as my certified check gets to me I will bring her home. :D

Considering a 2004 Rockster

Hello everybody, I have been looking for a while for a naked bike. I had the two final picks: a Ducati M695 and the Speed Triple, leaning more towards the monster. Yesterday I went to see a BMW dealer 50 miles from my house, just because. And there she was. An orange 2004 Rockster with 2,800 miles o...
