    Swapping floorboards to Roadster pegs

    At the moment no, as Ive got no spare pegs to ride on. Id prefer to swap the entire system to Roadsters equivelant. If I just got the Roadsters rails and pegs, would my brake cylinders etc be a straight swap?

    Painting OEM exhausts

    So I blacked out my 2008 Triumph Rocket and now stuck with the 3:3 chromed exhausts. Have any of you painted these black? How did you do it? Are these really chrome or polished steel? What paint did you use? Any input will be appreciated… The summer is coming!

Then weld up the Rocket tank bottom to the Bonnie tank, make it tight and clean and spray color on. Also want the 4 bar...

    Rocket III Roadster tank swap and other mods

    I would never have thought of a bladder or a hidden tank. That would save me a lot of trouble on welding and hammering.
