    Downshifting before cornering

    Been on a big bike for several years now. First a vtx1800 and now a Rocket Roadster. I've never heard of holding rear brake while applying throttle. Don't understand the principle behind it. I have always tried to slow to a speed before a turn that allowed throttling up into a turn...

    Barber Vintage Festival 2015

    www.barbervintagefestival.org Barber motorsports announced their 2015 dates. October 9-11. This is a huge event sponsored by Triumph with so much to see. It is always on my must go list. It would be cool to have a large group of rockets at the tent and on the parade laps at the end of the day.

    REALLY NEED SOME ADVISE ------MIRRORS--------

    Just got these today. I can measure if you are interested. They are kuryakyn. Just did a test ride and they are very stable at speed and a little wider than the stock mickey mouse ears.

    Header Nostrils

    I understand what you are explaining, but the original question was about the intrusion in the head and exhaust. Its not much, but if therr is an improvement in removing it. Then while I'm in there I want to do it.

    Header Nostrils

    Seems to me the exhaust exiting the cylinder would just be flowing the path of least resistance. both ports open and close together, so any obstruction is just that. An obstruction. The more open the path the more flow can be achieved.

    Header Nostrils

    Idaho, if triumph did their research we would not be trying to rid ourselves of these headers. We could change exhaust and be good to go.

    Header Nostrils

    Thanks to Bob, I have a new to me Stock Header. My plan is to create a new header that looks stock, but with 2" tubes. My question is, the header has these v grooves in the middle for some reason. Are these for strength? Do these carry into the head? Would there be any benefit to taking a...

    Passed machinery .. WA rego'd

    Alabama, no emissions laws and clean air. Maybe there are too many people and that causes the pollution. Really feel fortunate not to have to deal with these beuracracies that do little good other than creating another gov. job.

    Tennessee to ban big trucks on the Dragon

    With the new csa scoring and lots of companies requiring e-logs it is virtually impossible to be lacking. If you are, you will soon be unemployable. Even if you are an independant.

    Tennessee to ban big trucks on the Dragon

    As a truck driver and multiple time dragon rider I think there should be signs that this road is banned to trucks. If they pass these signs there should be a hefty fine. Any driver that would intentionally drive that road is an idiot. Btw. SWIFT= Slow Wagon In Fast Traffic!!!!!

    Want to Buy Headers or full exhaust

    Thanks for the idea "Mitzi". If one is available in the us it may be cheaper than shipping from Aus.

    Want to Buy Headers or full exhaust

    I'm looking for a set of headers to cut up to make larger diameter tubes to a larger diameter crossover pipe and larger diameter exhaust. I will then add a ramair filter and have custom dyno tune. I want to have the stock look and better flow and keep my original. If someone has a spare set that...

    Got my first speeding ticket... ouch!

    My worst was in Arkansas driving a semi, pulling a 16' X 80' mobile home. The nice officer asked why i was in such a hurry and I explained about being stuck in traffic 4 hrs and was behind schedule and was gonna be out after dark or going fast. I couldnt believe he let me go. speed limit for...

    Another Header Option for Me Maybe???

    I will probably try this option because of price and I like having heat shields. Any hotter in summer riding would make it not enjoyable.
