    Yea thats what I figured....I was just hoping I could do it the lazy way and buy off the shelf

    Forward Controls - extended more

    No I want to more the current pegs abut 1-2 inch forward. This would be much better for me. I have some ideas but just wanted to see it there was something about that makes it easier to do.

    Forward Controls - extended more

    Hi Has anyone tried to increase the distance that the forward controls can be extended? I'm long legged and would like to add and inch or two. Obviously a longer brake line and gear extender are needed but has anyone build a plate to extend the existing mounts?

    Have you ever felt the need for steering dampers on the Rocket 3?

    Hi Stonk, I am like you...we must be sloow people. I have ridden a few times in the license shredding zone though. I haven't had any issues with steering or wobbles even when bouncing on the pothole riddled things we call roads here in Oz. Most of the time I am at legal speeds (well add 10-20 ks...

    How is 2023 Rocket 3 in terms of riding that includes sudden maneuvers and sudden stops?

    I own a 2020 GT. I think the handling is magic for a heavy cruiser. There is no flex and plenty of ground clearance. I ride on very ****ty Australian country roads so ability to react quickly to avoid potholes etc is important. Australian drivers are bad, so things like being turned in front of...

    Rode newer rocket on 14psi (1 bar) rear tire pressure for around 6 months

    My manual says 42psi both ends. I hadn't thought to try anything else as it all seems to work fine. I am approaching 16000ks on the rear and there is still tread left. Apparently I must ride like a fairy to get this many Ks from what I have read. Fair enough I don't do burn outs but I do love to...

    Rode newer rocket on 14psi (1 bar) rear tire pressure for around 6 months

    Hi Yea point taken. I just see so much 'tech' around that really is just something that maybe nice to have but it really is just another app to add to an overcrowded screen that is already full of stuff that eventually rarely gets used. Mind you I love stuff like cruise control.....takes a...

    Rode newer rocket on 14psi (1 bar) rear tire pressure for around 6 months

    Hi all, Maybe we are all over thinking it. I have a gauge (40 years old but still very accurate - well shows the same as other gauges I have tested against) that I use across all my vehicles. I check them once a month or everytime if I am going to do something silly (go faster than I should). I...

    Want to Buy rocket GT 2020 seat

    Hi I am after a seat (both) from 2020+ rocket. I want to use it to create a customised seat so the condition of the fabric doesn't matter as long as the bases are in good condition. I am in Australia so a local would make postage easier...but anywhere would be good if the price is OK.

    Competition Werkes and Penner map

    Hi I used a small battery tender on the bike and had my phone attached to its charger too.....just to be sure. My bike has LED running lights that stay on the whole time along with the rear light but there was no problem during the 23 minutes as the reflash happened. I am not disappointed at the...

    Competition Werkes and Penner map

    Hi Thanks for the info. Done the flash with no problems. All feels good but hard to tell from a seat of the pants test, certainly flys well though!!

    Competition Werkes and Penner map

    Hi . I have Werkes on my GT since new. No tuning required. The popping should only be when decelerating as the secondary air opens to burn any fuel in the pipes. The standard pipes do the same just not as loud. You can minimize it around town by not closing the throttle completely (not always...

    Competition Werkes and Penner map

    Hi all. I have an Aussie 2020 GT fitted with Competition Werkes pipes ( no baffels....LOUD!!) Any way I was going to flash with the latest penner 31012Map.hex OEM_Rev.03 I Assume this is suitable for the Australian bike. Anyway I pull the fuse for the headlight and the fuel pump and guess what...

    Free unrestricted maps for Rocket R GT and TFC now online

    I notice that all the maps are for 'standard exhaust'. I have removed the 15kg monstrosity that is the standard system and installed the 'Werkes' straight thru. Obviously this is still running the Triumph map till I do the remap and all seems fine (done 7000ks so far). What if anything should I...
