    Battery Keeps Dying

    I have an 07 (from northern Ohio) with original battery and the only problem I have is when it gets below 40 and I have not started it for a couple of weeks or put on trickle charger yet. Good luck finding the problem.

    Topbox / Trunk

    My wife, who rides a VTX 1300, had one of those "T-bags" and used it for 4 years and really like how much stuff you could cram into it. She got the Givi V46 topcase this spring, it also just mounts to the luggage rack, because she had used mine a couple times last summer and liked the...

    Topbox / Trunk

    I have the luggage rack on and I had to take off the backrest. I bought the universal mounting bracket and it mounted to the luggage rack easily just had to adjust it for the passenger riding position. It is a big trunk but on the Rocket it dont look that big.

    Can a rocket handle the curves with a car tire????

    The road crown was a big problem with my first car tire a Goodyear Eagle F1 225/50 but I loved the ride and cornering. I got 23k out of it. I switched to a Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus 225/60, the crown problem was greatly reduced and the ride is much smoother than the Goodyear and the...

    Topbox / Trunk

    I have a Givi E52 Maxia topcase, volume is 52 liter and it holds 2 full face helments. Also Admore lighting has a light kit that gives you tail, turn and brake lights. Dont buy the Givi light kit it only gives you brake lights.

    Valk vs R3 ?

    I have put 40000 on my 07 Tourer and have put nothing but oil and gas in it and would trust it to go anywhere I want. I was always a Honda man myself, been riding them since 82 and always loved thier reliability and so far I would trust my Rocket just as much as a Honda.

    Triumph lost my business !

    Some of you talk about a long wait on parts for your Triumph and how Honda and HD are so much faster and better. Well my son bought a 2010 Harley V-Rod the first week of June and had to wait until the last week of July to get his slip-on muffers and back rest, which the dealer told him would be...

    Wet traction, soft compound, speed rated front tires ..

    I am running the 404 with the Eagle F1 and love the combination. Got 13k on first one and have 8k on this one, to one Eagle. I have been on 4 trips of over 2500 miles and 2 trips of 1k and have been caught in some heavy down pours, while pulling a trailer, and had no problems of hydroplaning or...

    Cold Hand- yup just one!

    Yeah if i did much more riding in the cold I was looking at a cruise control but just don't know about dropping a grand on something I wouldn't use much.

    Wow, just installed my GI Pro

    Glad to hear someone just put GIPRO ATRE on and liked the results. Have one on order and am looking forward to riding with it installed.

    Cold Hand- yup just one!

    I do some riding in cold weather and have never been able to keep my right hand from getting cold. I was told by my doctor that the pressure needed to twist the throttle restricts the blood flow in the hand causing it to be more difficult to keep warm. This sounded logical to me. Hope this is...
