    Avon Tires- Have You Heard This?

    Just so you won’t think I’m unjustly slamming the Honda Service Mgr. I called the Triumph dealer closest to me, and spoke to the parts dept. I asked if they could locate an Avon Cobra 140/75 r 17 for me as I would like to purchase one. The parts person said (and I quote) “Avon doesn’t make that...

    Avon Tires- Have You Heard This?

    Bought a new Avon Cobra tire to install on my Roadster front end(just put a new Avon 240 on the rear). This is my 3rd set of Avon Cobras. Fantastic tires, grip like glue, never an issue of any sort. I went to a local Honda dealer to have the new Cobra mounted and balanced which they said they...

    Need Some Help

    Thanks to everyone here for your support and advice. I've held off taking any action just yet because the Triumph Regional Rep is returning to his office in Atlanta tomorrow (he was out of town last week when I first contacted Triumph last week)and I was told he would be contacting me. Who...

    Need Some Help

    A couple of questions come to mind regarding this whole situation. The dealership owner repeated that his "best" technician performed the service on my R3R. I find it hard to believe that an experienced tech wasn't aware that damage had occurred when he mounted the tire to the rim. So it's my...

    Need Some Help

    TriumPhil...I did speak to my Insurance Agent about it. He said because I had comprehensive coverage it wouldn't raise my premiums, but the down side is that the best price I've found for a new wheel assy. is $879 and my deductible is $500 so it's kind of a wash. The advantage to buying and...

    Need Some Help

    To those of you that asked why I needed a new wheel so soon on a 2015 Rocket I'll explain. On Sept. 23rd 2015 I posted a thread on this forum about my local Triumph dealership damaging the rim of my rear wheel mounting a new Avon 240. At that time the dealership owner apologized and even wrote...

    Need Some Help

    I need to buy a new rear wheel for a 2015 R3R. Most of the Triumph parts suppliers on the net haven't updated their fitment guides beyond 2014 models. The part number most of them show for the "rear wheel assembly is T2010408, however one parts tech told me that part number has been superseded...

    Progressive 444-4209 Standard Spring Rate 12.5"

    Update....emailed Progressive Tech Support, gave them my height and weight and explained that I was hoping for a softer smoother ride than the the OEM shocks provided. Solo ridden only, no baggage, commute on reasonably decent roads. Their recommendation was to stay with standard spring rate and...

    Progressive 444-4209 Standard Spring Rate 12.5"

    Thanks for your replies guys. Unfortunately shocks aren't try before you buy items. I put a Corbin Fast Gun saddle on which I feel is a vast improvement over the stock seat. Because of my height it sat me up way too high, like everyone else has said, the Corbin allows you to sit more "in" the...

    Progressive 444-4209 Standard Spring Rate 12.5"

    I have a 2015 Roadster I'm 6'4" and weigh 235. I'm looking at the above rear shocks and wondering if anyone here has a late model Roadster that has upgraded to these particular shocks. I've read here that some folks felt that Triumph improved their later model shocks over ones on earlier model...

    Thanks to everyone for responding. We all seem to agree that the dealership should replace the rim. I'm headed there in the morning with the hope that they will resolve this problem. I'll post an update regarding the outcome.
