  1. Triumph solo seat?? Anyone tried one??

    Touring Seat Rework Just got through reworking my Rocket 3 Touring seat. I now can ride on top of the bone crushing plastic molding(in base of seat for backrest) and changed the seating profile so I am not forced to sit on my gonads.

  2. Windscreen

    Windshield Woes I started out with the stock Windshield On My New 2012 Rocket 3 Touring. I rode it for about a month and could not stand it anymore. It was too short.

The problem is in the sharp rise that will force...

    2013 Rocket 3 touring - Filler Bolt Too Tight I Just tried to inspect my gear oil for the first time. I read the manual and tried to loosen INSPECTION bolt head number 2 (pictured in Manual). This bolt appears to be torqued excessively and won't budge. Am I missing something? HAS ANYBODY...
