    For Sale 2012 Rocket III Roadster with Corbin Beetle Bags

    The problem was an oil leak. In the end Triumph replaced the entire head and all the gaskets. I have commuted to work and taken it on a couple of weekend rides and no more oil leak. So you have a completely resolved problem on a bike with 8000 miles on the engine yet with a new head and all...

    For Sale 2012 Rocket III Roadster with Corbin Beetle Bags

    I have had a few inquiries regarding Will I sell the Corbin Beetle Bags off the bike. So my answer to that question as well as the longer version as to why I am considering selling: If nobody steps up to the plate to purchase the bike as is - I will keep the bike in which case I will want the...

    For Sale 2012 Rocket III Roadster with Corbin Beetle Bags

    Long or short version? I keep buying bikes. Fall in love with one, begin a relationship with her, but always looking at the next one, or potential next one, and her friend! Lusted after the Vmax since the new generation was released in 2009. Have bought and sold a couple of bikes since then...

    oil leak!

    UPDATE: I called Triumph directly and explained the issue. They said that they heard from the dealership on April 8th and told them to send pictures of the bike and repair work and they would likely take care of it. But they had heard nothing since April 8th. Triumph said they would reach out...

    oil leak!

    Yeah, well, what am I going to do. Only dealer for miles. I was not happy with the sales service at this dealership to begin with. I had gone there a half dozen times or so in as many years and ended up buying the Rocket 600 miles away. They have been ok on a few minor service issues so far...

    oil leak!

    A month later and they still have my bike. One of the gaskets was on back order. They will be replacing the head gasket, valve cover gasket, O rings...the sum of the parts are inexpensive but the hours in labor add up. While waiting for parts I asked the dealer to contact Triumph - even though...

    Installed TORS today

    I may have said this before on another thread but I have changed out the stock exhaust on every bike I've owned prior to my R3R. I did this for three reasons: decrease weight; increase performance/power/responsiveness; AND increase sound. On one previous bike the 2 into 1 pipe I put on the bike...

    oil leak!

    I can tell you what they charge...just shy of $1600.00. I took mine in for an oil leak. They thought it might be a couple of O-rings but when they got into it they tell me it is the head gasket. I just found out today - leaving Thursday on a trip. Good to have another bike though...

    2015 Roadster seat ?

    I had mine lowered and narrowed and I like it better. Much less money than buying any of the aftermarket seats.

    Stock windscreen and Corbin bags.

    Seeking opinions on touring "upgrades"

    My 2012 R3R is my touring bike. After a rocky start with Corbin, I really like the bags and they look good with the lines of the bike, but they are expensive! I also had trouble with the stock potato chip seat - sliding forward was annoying and I did not like how wide it was. At 5'10" I could...

    Maverick Lowrider Seat

    Sorry - forgot to update... I received a full credit on my card after my bank got involved in the dispute. I never heard from anyone at Maverick again.
