    Newbie saying hi to all

    Gidday mate, welcome to the forum. So, given that this is a forum for Rocket 3's, are you thinking of getting one shortly? or have you maybe joined this forum instead of the Triumph one? No worries either way . . .

    Panniers, why so difficult to obtain in New Zealand?

    Having Triumph make a couple of new ones up would be horrendously expensive for 2 lock barrels. That's what ya need though, wonder if a locksmith like chubb or ross gault may be able to assist with a solution. The idea is all the locks work off the same master key, but the barrels themselves...

    Things I've noticed riding in the cold.

    If we can get heated grips then why not heated levers? Little element running in the centre getting them nice & toasty.

    TomTom to the Rocket 3GT

    Hello from Florida

    Gidday mate, welcome to the forum. Tell me, do you still get that stupid grin when cranking it on? For me, it never seems to get old, just wondered it's still there for you?

    Anyone Else Lost a Heat Shield Yet?

    Putting JB Weld onto threads means you'd never get the screw undone again. If you're worried about bolts loosening, maybe use a touch of blue loktite?

    15th I'm heading from AKL to New Plymouth, 16th New Plymouth to P/North. Could well be giving you a wave.

    Researching R3 Ultra 4 Possibilities

    Gidday mate, welcome to the forum. Seems a very expensive way to slap an engine into something. Would you not be better off getting a 4 cyl Busa engine & working the magic from there? It'd be waaay easier and there's lots of go fast mods avail, you can get huge numbers out of them if you want.

    Panniers, why so difficult to obtain in New Zealand?

    Have you tried Filco in Nelson? That's where I sourced mine, (few months ago now though) only issue was the horrendous cost of the things. Where ya going in Feb? I'm off on a 10 day North Island roady mid Feb myself.

    Staking tool?

    For a staked nut I've always just used a sml cold chisel to stake it. To un-stake it, just use a decent powered driver, they will generally undo the staked nut - well, so I've found anyway.
