Re: [ST] Rocket III



According to our area rep here in the Northeast, Ron Greene, no one is going
to test ride a Rocket III for "a while"- all production at this point is
dedicated to filling orders for pre- sold bikes. Maybe we will have an
opportunity to jump on the beast by late summer...Regarding the shift
quality on the Daytona, it will definitely improve over time.  The demo bike
you rode probably also could use a minor clutch/ lever adjustment, or a
slight change to the shifter's position on the shaft.  Well- synchronized
shifts are also noticeably "clunk free"
