Rocky Tree Upgrade

[genedjr]

I highly recommend either DIY or getting the Rocky Tree Upgrade.

I was completely surprised at how unstable the wing was in the parking lot. To fix this issue and just handling in general, I added the 5-piece Kuryakyn fork brace, All balls tapered bearing, and the Rocky Tree upgrade.

Now the fork brace and tapered bearings made a real difference, but it was the Rocky Tree that was a WOW. Now parking lot maneuvers are easy and solid. Flicking the bike back and forth is precise and accurate. And very high speeds are confidence building.

I havent ridden a Wing with a reinforced or aftermarket tree, but I know some that have and they all swear by them.

Truthfully after the trial and correction Rocky went through to perfect the Rocky Tree modification, you would be a fool to do it yourself. Just buy the Rocky tree and save yourself a bunch of grief, time, and money.

JohnK105 - Spooky.......I am also.....John K from Northern KY......are you active in KY-G? I don't think I've seen you at any meetings.

Another case of "small world" I guess!

Since Rocky is banned on "the other site" can anyone give me a contact point? Traxxion is too damn expensive, Rocky's work makes sense.

I agree! You would be crazy to try this in a home shop, especially considering that you have three options that I know of for replacement trees.
It just would not be worth the risk of destroying one trying this.

I would also like to know where I can purchase the Rocky Tree

Has anyone sent Rocky a PM or asked him? I think that would be a good place to start.

KYBubblehead been in GWRRA for two years and haven't made it to a meeting yet. Watch one of the grandsons after school and that limits meetings, rides are the same days as our SCRC rides and being local first officer I usually am there.

As far as Rocky, he is usually very good at getting back to people that message him unless he is off doing something and out of contact.

Just a FYI. The "Rocky Tree" business is alive and well. anyone needing more info/pricing can PM me.

I still get a big smile on my face after being off the bike for a week doing other things,at how well this bike handles with a R/T under it.

I love riding a bike that feels like it's on rails.

So true, so true...

While I would agree, if you are not a DIY guy or you don't have a 180 amp or bigger mig welder, a drill press and hole saws, a bench vice, and grinders - contact Rocky. But this is not a difficult modification.

If you know how to weld??. That is the start. lol
You'll need a custom Jig to hold everything in place before and after welding it, and during cooling off or you'll just have an anchor. lol

We perfected the process in R&D.(Which is proprietary)
