    Heated Grip Replacement

    I have 2005 Rocket standard with heated grips, the grips are nearly worn out but they still work okay. Can I replace these with after market grips and still keep them heated or do they have to be replaced with Triumph accessory grips ?

    BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW 2

    It's getting time to change out the Riken Raptor, It's been a great tire but with over 27,000 miles it won't last another season. I know there are a few running the BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW 2. For those that do, would you buy it again?

    Dunlop Elite 3 Touring

    After 12,500 miles on the Avon it was time for a replacement. I could have put on another Avon but I installed the Dunlop Elite 3 Touring instead. It was only about $20 cheaper but it's a little higher rated especially in the wet traction area. It's only H rated so I'll have to remember to keep...

    Stuck seat removal.

    Before I switched to a Corbin seat I had some difficulty removing the stock seat using the key so I looked for an alternate method to use in case the key stopped working completely. If the key won't operate the lock mechanism a long screw driver can be used to operate the latch. Insert the...

    Tach double sweep ?

    When I started my Rocket yesterday the tach did a second sweep. It did the normal sweep along with the speedo when I turned the key to on, but immediately after start the tach did another sweep. No other problems and it didn't do it again. Has anyone else seen this??

    Why all the whining ????

    This is probably not a problem since most rockets do it ,but does anyone know what the whining noise is. Mine is most noticeable at about 2000 rpm. YouTube - 2007 Triumph Rocket 3 Classic & Tribal simultaneously! Fast forward to the 2 minute point to hear the whine I,m talking...

    Winter project; Paint Can Rattle

    First Ride on the Darkside

    Today I had my first ride on a Riken Raptor 225/55 ZR16 and I have to say it was the right choice for me. The guy at the custom chopper shop said it was illegal to mount a car tire on a motorcycle wheel. So the owner of a local biker bar took me, tire and wheel to the used tire shop across the...

    Tales From The Darkside

    I was walking up to my 2005 R3 today when I realized just how worn out my back tire is. I have always said that I would never go to the darkside but now with R3 tire prices and my mortgage payment going up I'm thinking about it. So I have a few questions for those of you that have at least...
