    Looking to buy a Touring, years to avoid, differences in engine output between Touring and Roadster.

    I should have mentioned it up front, but riding position is a concern for me and a driver for the Touring, so long as I can get the performance to match the Roadster. I liked the riding position of my '12 Roadster...but the mid-mount controls did bother my knees after a while. It was bearable...

    Looking to buy a Touring, years to avoid, differences in engine output between Touring and Roadster.

    Former Rocket III owner here, I had a 2012 Roadster that I loved. I put a bunch of effort outfitting it for touring, but eventually realized I wanted a dedicated touring bike, with a stereo and cruise control. 500-600 mile days weren't bad, but when I was working and limited for vacation time...

    Best phone mount?

    I like this one, mostly because I wanted a mount with wireless charging. I use mine for navigation-plugging in is a pain, cords don't last long due to the vibration, and ANY moisture and they don't charge. The wireless charging on this one works well, it fits a standard 1" Ram ball, and it's not...

    Rocket R and Rocket GT video

    Lots of good things and lots of potential for the future. The good? * More displacement, slight increase in power * I like the new head pipes, exhaust styling (instead of the log manifold) * Throttle by wire-addresses the heavy throttle spring and enables cruise control (huge!!!) * Full set of...

    2020 Rocket 3 TFC details released!

    ~$30K is too rich for my (financially challenged) blood. But put it in perspective-a CVO Harley Ultra Limited or Road Glide limited is considerably more. And the new Rocket is far more unique, powerful and of course better looking. I'm hoping they "mainstream" it in 2021 with more models...

    First test ride with new tires.

    Glad you like the combo. Let us know how the Scorcher II wears if you will.

    What aftermarket windshield are you using?

    I just put on a 16" (stock + 5 the way they measure) 7Jurock yesterday. What a change from stock. The stock windshield (coupled with a cheap full face helmet) made for a very loud ride at highway speeds-wind noise was great enough that I usually wore ear plugs on the highway. The new shield...

    New Saddlesbags to Paint-paint codes/where to find/buy?

    I scored a set of Tsukayu saddlebags off of Ebay that I will need to paint. I have a '12 Roadster in the gloss black metallic. Will my local Napa be able to cross reference a paint code by the year and model, or do I need to find one somewhere (on cages it used to be under the hood). Thanks.

    Clearview windshield

    For those of you with Clearview shields and the 5 position vent, is the vent worth it? Can you notice the difference and would you do it again? Thanks. Looking to order soon.

    A Sheep In Wolf's Clothing or Vice Versa?

    Which...is right in line with what my Triumph dealer sells Triumph shirts for. And is the reason I've never bought one from them.
