    Saddlebags & Mounts but no installation instructions.

    You problem was that you put the part no for the panniers in rather than the mount kit. In triumphinstructions.com put A9518172 and the instructions are there.

    Rocket owners average age!

    You’re going to have to be more specific, @Ishrub. While a Shilling converted to 10c, three pence (ie 1/4 of a Shilling) converted to 2.5 cents. So, are you saying you’re 63 or 62 1/2? And does anyone care? 😂

    Rocket owners average age!

    Because @ruzzle got all nostalgic, here’s a pic (it‘s in my Media) from 13 years ago. The occasion was that Ruzzle had just received his letter from the late Queen on turning 100. We lifted him out of his Zimmer frame, handed him a leather jacket and told him to stand behind the Rockets. He...

    Luggage Options?!

    There’s plenty out there. Here’s a sample. You might need to add some bracket extenders to get over you seat. https://customcruisers.com/contents/en-uk/p10183_triumph-rocket-3-iii-roadster-solo-rider-driver-backrest-and-luggage-rack.html

    Excessive Heat from Exhaust manifold.

    You will never get high temp paint to hold up on headers. I’ve tried it on a Bonneville T120 with black pipes that had browned off on the top bend. Ceramic coating is the only treatment that holds up, and even then it goes off over time ie goes dull and loses colour. You can get any exhaust to...

    Can someone find source of this photo?

    Pretty sure that’s @ruzzle (dreamin’……again).

    Whats with Triumph values

    So you were serious about selling/trading it after less than 100 miles? My mistake. I clearly misunderstood what you meant by “on a whim”. So why are you getting rid of it so soon?

    Whats with Triumph values

    Anyone turning up at a dealership on an almost new, hardly ridden bike is sending the message they made a mistake and want to get out of it. Or they're just a bloody time waster. Either way, you will get low balled every time. These people are running a business and are not there for your...

    Quickshifter question

    Make sure you’re not resting your foot against the shift lever and give it a clean, firm strike. There should never be a problem going from 1st to 2nd if being used correctly. I’ve had Triumph quickshifters on 7 bikes and have never had a problem with any of them. You of course need to learn to...

    Desperate for a screw!

    I was once offered a far more attractive one on Orchard Road in Singapore for $20. Only problem was I was pretty sure it included one tool I definitely didn't want, but wasn’t prepared to find out anyway.

    Meet REX my new 2022 FLHR Road King

    Very glad you’ve found the right bike for you.

    And another thing (R3GT/R Key Fob)...

    I never keep any keys with my bike key, partly because I have a number of bikes so need to keep them separate, but also because it makes no sense at all having a bunch of keys rattling around on the ignition (on bikes that aren’t keyless). This is what I’ve done with the fob for my Tiger 1200...

    And another thing (R3GT/R Key Fob)...

    I’m at a loss to understand the problem. Replace that red tie with a small ring. Surely the perfect solution.

    Meerkat mufflers

    I’m not at all surprised you’re happy mate. I’ve had Meerkat X pipes (de-cat) on a couple of bikes now, fitted a few to other bikes and Peter modified the stock mufflers on my T120. Better sound and performance increase and lighter weight than the V&H I had on my Thruxton for a fraction of the...

    Post a pic of your bike

    I was banking on you being asleep, not being able to find your glasses or not remembering it was your bike. :)

    Post a pic of your bike

    Wrong. You'd think the VB and Tooheys and Hahn sign in the background would give you a clue.

    Post a pic of your bike

    Not mine but does anyone know who this belongs/belonged to? That AirHawk on the seat sort of hints that it could be someone pretty old and frail although all that extra plumbing suggests the opposite.

    Post a pic of your bike

    On my way to the first Rockets Downunder in Hervey Bay 2012. 2014, not long before I sold her.

    Quickshifter worth it, Bluetooth not really

    I voted and while I more or less agree with your assessment I said I love them both. I shoukd add that I don’t have a Rocket but am on my second Tiger with both fitted - 900 Rally Pro and now a 1200 Rally Pro - so am basing my view on those. The QS is amazing. I thought it was outstanding on the...

    Thinking about a new ADV bike

    If you really just want something to “ride in the pastures to check cows and fences” that Honda might be overkill - or rather a bit too nice. What about a Royal Enfield Himalayan? Light, fun, cheap, good robust luggage options (for fencing gear/tools) and pretty cool in a utilitarian sort of...
