    Roadster or R3 standard exhaust?

    Switched out my standard three pipe exhaust for the Roadster dual pipe setup and just wondered if anyone new which exhaust flowed better or made more power. I know some will say why bother but I really like the looks of the Roadster exhaust and it sounds better too. I wanted to keep the decibel...

    Hitch

    Someone asked for more pics of my hitch so here they are. Picture of hitch off the bike is a factory made one. On the bike is the one I made. On a stock Rocket there are two large bolts and two small bolts holding the chrome covers on the rear frame. I redrilled the two smaller ones and retapped...

    Another tire option

    Mounted up a Cooper Zeon ZPT 245/50r 16 on my 2008 Rocket Std. Did it for sidecar use but of course I had to try riding darkside before hooking up the hack. Absolutely no slow speed handling!

Held rags on the two right side pipes and still got no exhaust from the left side. My first thought was that a little...

    hydraulic clutch

    Does anyone know of an aftermarket hydraulic clutch for the Rocket 3? Due to a hand injury I may have to give up my Rocket unless I can find a way to lighten up the clutch pull. The bike does shift fairly well clutchless but at some point you have to stop or take off and I am not good enough to...

    use of kill switch

    I've read that some say never to use the kill switch to shut the engine off except in an emergency. Others say it makes no difference if you use the key or kill switch. Is there any official word from Triumph or a mechanic from a dealer that use of the kill switch causes problems with the bike...
