  1. Quick Release Sissy Bar for the Roadster

    Still interested here !!! I would like to get an aluminum demo bracket done to see if it will actually work with corbin beetle bags.

  2. Found my next accessory

    I know Scott Walker and Syd Barrett - Scott Walker was a member of The Walker Brothers ("The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" and "Make It Easy on Yourself"), and the subject of the documentary "Scott Walker, 30 Century Man" The things he has done over the past 30 years might best be described...

  3. What GPS do you recommend.

    Garmin Zumo 660 is POS I bought the 660 and the voice went dead after about 8 months when I updated the map. The media player won't work and the unit won't charge on the motocycle mount. Garmin has refused to do anything about fixing it. It is virtually worthless on the bike as the screen is...

  4. Turn the key on and no power!!

    I didn't read the whole post, but I had a similar issue just before the warranty ran out. My 2009 R3 would cut out momentarily while in motion and, at other times, not cycle up when I turned on the ignition - with the kill switch in Run. It turned out to be a connector in the circuit powering a...

  5. Quick Release Sissy Bar for the Roadster

    That's good to know, but what about the location of the mounting bolts for the fender rails?

  6. Quick Release Sissy Bar for the Roadster

    Add me to the interested list. I'm certainly interested in this project - I've been trying to come up with a way to eliminate the "fender horns" that spoil the lines of the rear fender with the sissy bar and pillion seat removed. I assume you are designing a removable bracket system to attach...

  7. help needed

    Mine had a bad connection FWIW - I had a bad connection on one lug in a connector under the tank - I had intermittent cycling of the power up relay ... engine shut down, then all the instrument lights came on, then the engine would start again ... WHILE MOVING. This was sometimes initiated by...

  8. Roadster peg position

    Has anyone changed a standard Rocket foot controls to the Roadster version? If so, how much did it cost for the hardware? It looks like I would have to replace all the foot controls rather than just the support bars, reusing the brake & shifter parts . I like the idea of having my feet more...

  9. Accessory Driving/Fog light installation

    Thanks guys ... That info cuts down on the wire search - I have looked at the Service Manual wiring diagram and know I am looking for a plug with red/blue and purple wires. That should handle the switch which controls the relay. I **really** don't want to splice into a switched power line if I...

  10. Accessory Driving/Fog light installation

    I have purchased some driving lights from Martin Fabrication for the Rocket. They sent a full harness but I'm wondering if anyone knows where the connector(s) are for the Triumph fog lights. There is a 15A fuse for the accessory lights and I'm hoping there is a harness connection up front for...

  11. handling

    weight ??? I'm not sure I understand what weight has to do with this unless you think that you shift your weight to turn a bike. Although shifting weight does affect the lean angle, weight has nothing to do with turning a motorcycle. Push the right grip to turn right, push an the left grip...

  12. Metzlers with Avons?

    Metz Front & Avon Rear I ran an Avon rear and Metzler front during my switch and experienced absolutely no adverse effects. I am NOT an aggressive rider, however.

  13. saddle bag /cases options?

    Champion Sidecars Hard Bags Champion Sidecars makes hard bags. Size & Prices: Bag Specifications, Standard Features & Pricing Photos: Hardbags They don't seem eager to enter the bag market so you'll need to find a dealer for the Trikes or sidecars. The do a Gold Wing trike, I think, so a...

  14. Tall Triumph sissy bar w/ corbin bags & seat

    Any body else have trouble with Corbin? To answer your question - There is nothing about the tall sissy bar that would interfere with the beetle bags. I think they say the bags will work with the short sissy bar but they haven't tried it with the tall one. The only...

  15. Battery Minder quality

    Try an Optimate 3 I had an Optimate 3 before I lost it in the tornado - worked like a dream. MADDSS.com has them for about $50. I did keep the bike in a garage so the temp never dropped below about 50 deg F. I currently have to use a stand-alone shed with no electrical outlets and the...
