    Rocker decal

    You didn't hit a nerve, it would take a better man than you pal! This is the problem I have with bike forums, I've been riding for over 50 years There are so many self righteous pricks out there in the biking world, why should I be nice to them In very hot weather I ride in trainers, shorts...

    Rocker decal

    I'm well aware that there are a lot of idiots in this world but even you managed to work out that 2500cc was 2.5L

    Rocker decal

    I think you picked the right name Mr edgeofsanity, why on earth would you want to remove that decal! That's what startles non bikers when they stop to look at it, as they often do! I can't wait to hear the reason why you want to get rid of it

    Making the 3R R'er

    I've been riding bikes for over 50 years I've owned and ridden customised bikes but none of them ride like a factory fresh new bike The manufacturers spend huge amounts of time and money developing them and for me that works My R3 GT had a Powerbronze screen fitted when I got it and it seemed...

    Making the 3R R'er

    That seat looks peculiar with that huge gap under it I really feel that people carrying out so many modifications to their bikes bought the wrong bike in the first place I like bikes with lots of power If I want to cruise around I ride my R3 If I want to go fast I ride my derestricted ZZR1400

    Another exhaust option from Dominator

    I've just found this online It looks like very good value but obviously in the UK we're so rip off by our crap government, whoever is in power! I would guess that with shipping, duty and VAT it would be a lot more

    Mirrors...

    I'm puzzled! How can you look into any rear view mirror on any vehicle without taking your eyes of the road

    Powerbronze Windshield and Handguards delivered & installed today.

    My bike came fitted with Powerbronze screen and handguards I like the screen I took the handguards off straight away because I thought they looked weird It cost a substantial amount to replace the missing bar end weights and fixings I can't see the point of the handguards what do they actually...

    Triumph Rocket 3 GT 221

    I've since noticed that the 221 in the picture has a screen fitted that's similar to mine If that's the bike you're thinking of buying It's a great addition that makes riding at speed more comfortable

    Triumph Rocket 3 GT 221

    It looks like you've taken a picture of my bike! The tank is the only difference to a normal GT It has the bike details on top of the tank and the 221 on the side

    2022 rocket3 with quick shifter

    I always use the quickshifter on up shifts but when I downshift I use the clutch a lot The bike doesn't feel great going down the gearbox I keep thinking about what's going on in there with all the stress I'm putting on those gearbox parts

    Heat shield screw snapped

    If the M6 thread is ruined I recommend this type of thread reducer I've used them in alloy many times over the years with great success Tap out the hole to M8 and screw it in with thread locking compound and you have a strong steel M6 thread

    Heat shield screw snapped

    If the Easy Out has snapped inside the broken screw I'm afraid you have a problem The making and selling of Easy Outs should be banned by law! They snap very easily and they can't be drilled because they're too hard I know this from personal experience many years ago

    Fitting round mirrors

    I couldn't bring myself to pay a ridiculous £200 for a pair of genuine Triumph round mirrors and I didn't like the standard mirrors that came on the bike I found these on ebay, you don't need the arms just unscrew the head, it has an M6 thread the same as the Triumph originals They simply screw...
