2009 Rocker C, vance n hines big radius, fuel pak, VIED's,( adjustable from 14.6-13.7 ) arlen ness big sucker naked filter, lots of chrome, skull theme grips, A/C cover, shifter and brake pedal, chrome swing arm kit, single swing arm saddle bag, VIED adj at about 13.9 AFR. This bike hauls ****. Last mod was the VIED's and it made a world of difference. She responded very well to the pipes, fuel pak and alen ness A/C, which I rode the bike with those 3 mods for about 1 month. When VIED's installed she became a totally different bike, she became a beast. I feel like I'm riding a 2 stroke dirt bike with the throttle response. Seriously throttle response is awesome, power throughout the RPM is greatly improved. Heat is lower. When you crack the throttle she speaks. I can't stay off the bike and the bike gets looks and compliments everywhere I go. No matter what make or style bikes I park by the rocker takes all the attention Hail to the ROCKER.

Hell yeah. It is a nice thing to have for sure.

I also like the fact that my trip meter reset is on the handlebars.

Hey FBV, what tach are you using? I keep going back and forth if I want to get one or not, esp after realizing the details involved in verifying the mileage. But I have been a good boy this year!

Its actually the stock one that came with the bike.

The odometer shows odometer, 2 trip meters, fuel remaining, clock, and gear/rpm.

I will check my H-D parts catalog and see if I can find a part number for you.

I have checked and its not in my catalog, nor can I find it online at the H-D website.

It is the stock speedo. Like I said earlier, the Tach is actually a feature in the Odometer display. And the trip meter button is on the left hand grip with the horn.

Does it do it worse when youre in 4th at that speed then snap the throttle open? That could be honest to god pre-detonation. Have you been using 91 octane gas in it, or that cat pee 87 octane ethanol blend crap?

You might also pull your spark plugs and look at the insulators to see if you spot tiny dark flecks on them. If you can see that, run the higher grade gas. Those flecks will be the top of your pistons being re-deposited on your sparkplugs.

Hey FatBoy Veteran You just made me feel alot better. I thought I was the only one who couldn't remember what gear I was in. Now I just realized I'm a member.
