    Coolant Choices

    I started looking at coolants but it's making my head spin so I might as well order OEM and be done with it. What other choices are there that folks here have used and are available on Amazon?

    Big Blue RULES!

    I'm pretty happy with my big blue lift. The chock which I found on Amazon had to be modified on both ends to fit that freak front wheel of ours.

    METZELER Cruisetec - Never Again!

    Back in the early 2000's I tried Metzeler a couple of times but stopped due to not only quick but irregular wear. Then about 4000 miles ago I decided to give a Cruisetec a chance on the front hoping that things may have changed over many years. I was wrong. My original front Cobra Chrome lasted...

    2.5L Life Expectancy

    I'm trying to get a general feel for the longevity of our beasts given the following conditions. - I've put 11k miles on my 23' R which I bought last year February - I let it warm up a bit before each ride - I don't start ripping on the throttle until I've been riding for a few miles - I change...

    For Sale ZARD Left Side Carbon-Fiber Cover

    I had originally planned to get the Werkes exhaust for my 23' Rocker 3R but wound up going with Vandemon instead. In order to not have a gaping hole on the left side with the Werkes I was able to order the left carbon-fiber cover from a Zard distributor here in the US which I don't need anymore...

    Custom Tune in California

    Since flashing the Penner tune and installing my Vandemon exhaust the decel pops are starting to be a little annoying. The richer fueling of the tune made them noticeably more "angry" even with the stock exhaust and the new exhaust now doesn't muffle them as much as I'd like. As great as that...

    Rear Inner Fender Hole Plug

    I put my pannier brackets on when I got my bike and have only used them a couple of times since my Triumph tank and tail bag are enough for over nighters. I finally got tired of looking at them but have no idea what happened to the original under seat fender pan. So black gorilla tape came to...

    Exhaust clamp torque specs?

    I have tightened the muffler clamps on my new Vandemon exhaust a few times since installing it. They do not provide any instructions whatsoever and have not yet responded to my email asking this. I'm talking about the 2 clamps securing the pipe assembly to each muffler. The system is made out of...

    DNA or OEM Air Filter?

    I have the Penner tune and Vandemon exhaust with stock air filter which I replaced recently. I have always heard that oil membrane filters work great initially but quickly lose their effectiveness. I have zero interest in regularly removing my tank to maintain an air filter and unless switching...

    Spider Poop on Exhaust Headers

    What methods are recommended to clean these black bits on the stainless without ruining the finish? I remember some discussion about this a while back but can't seem to find it.

    Vandemon websites?

    I ordered my exhaust from VANDEMON USA since I am in California and am hoping for the best. Their Motorcycle Performance Exhausts & Parts lists is as "back ordered" but maybe they actually have some stock available here as the US site did not specify stock level. I did get an order confirmation...

    Rear Wheel Needle Roller Bearing, oh my.

    So being an idiot I tried prying the oil seal out with a pick not realizing that I could just pull out the bearing sleeve first and left some scratches on the inside surface as shown below. I'll look at it again next time I change my tire and hopefully it won't cause a $800 problem.

    Another Exhaust Thread (Vandemon Headers) with Installation Pictures

    I had settled for the Competition-Werkes slip on (quick and dirty) but now am reconsidering as I always liked the Vandemon better for appearance and supposedly sound and the beast deserves it. Please note that this is a present for my bike and not for myself. I already have the Penner tune which...

    Am doing my 10k service this weekend

    I have 9925mi on my bike since last February, a 3 day weekend, all the bits and pieces for the job and thanks to folks in this forum access to the knowledge on how to go about this. I am changing spark plugs and changing final drive oil as well though that is not on the schedule. Getting up...

    OEM Parts Source

    I just used Genuine parts for Motorcycle Triumph ROCKET 3 GT Rocket-3 - Triumph to order some odds and ends for my upcoming 10K service and this seems to be the best place to go based on some looking around. Since they are in the UK and I'm in the US they of course charge shipping accordingly...

    Wunderkind Turn Signal Instalation

    I installed these Motorcycle LED turn signals for Triumph Rocket 3 and since they ship to every country except the US I had to get them from Spiegler. They look great and are definitely bright enough however installation was a pain in the arsch. On the front when I started feeling to see where...

    Wheel Tools

    One might think that finding what size tools are needed for wheel removal might be easy, but no it's not. I did find that the front wheel spindle needs a 19mm hex socket but can't find any info on the rear spindle torx bolt, even the manual only states how to remove it and torque values but not...

    Tuneecu post settings

    I've done lots of research on flashing the Penner tune and there seem to be discrepancies between different people. Once the flash is complete and you go into the adjustments where we do NOT reset adaptations, are there any check boxes that need to be checked here or elsewhere such as any ETV...
