  1. Selling my Roadster.....

    2012 R3 Roadster. 770 miles. K and N's. Billet lifter rod. Carpenter clutch springs. Excellent condition. Finally decided to sell. Bike has been expertly maintained. Has forward foot controls. Appears as though Triumph did them. They are that nice. Email me at baldwinm88@gmail.com...

  2. Header stickout comparo? Carpenter versus Reband

    Hey guys. I moved my foot controls forward 8" and found that the Carpenter #1 pipe was too close and too hot for my leg. Good pipe however. I'm curious if anyone has experience with the Reband pipe and how far the pipes come away from the engine? Or a direct comparison from the #1 cylinder...

  3. Exhaust and minor mods versus cylinder head change out?

    I think I may keep my '12 Roadster.(back is calmed down...for now:)_ I moved the foot controls forward 8" to improve legroom so now a horsepower question. With the advent of some new exhaust systems coming down the line along with some of the new air cleaner assemblies, is it possible to get...

  4. Handlebars?

    I'm looking for some low profile handlebars for my Roadster. Something like the Carpenter bike. Still riding on the street so needs to turn. Any ideas? Carpenter gave me a part number but it didn't pan out with the parts sites. Any links?

  5. If I do keep my bike and do the Carpenter cylinder head swap?

    Can the head be pulled with the radiator and front cover in place? How long of a job? Do the cylinder liners need to be resealed? Is there an exhaust that will stay closer to the engine (keep heat off my legs) or will cans suffice? Any tips? 2012 Roadster.

  9. ECU's from 2011 and 2012

    Are the ECU's from 2011 and 2012 the same on the Roadster? Any map changes, etc?

  10. Now I need to know how to go faster given what I have already

    It's the 2012 Roadster with Carpenter pipe, factory ECU tuned by Carpenter and K and N filters. Not impressed with my quarter mile times and I didn't suck. So what's next? 1. Would removing the secondary butterflies improve performance? 2. Should I add a Gitpro deal on it? Can I with the...

  11. Piss! My Roadster didn't run for sh#$

    Just got back from the track with my 12' Roadster. Carpenter pipe, Carpenter tune and K and N's. Best I could muster was a 11.97 and I don't suck at riding. What the hell is wrong? Are the secondary butterflies slowing me down? Any ideas? So far this thing is a big disappointment and the...

  12. Runnin' at the drags today. A couple questions

    Hey guys, Goin' to Milan Dragway today for the bike runs. I have a 2012 Roadster with Carpenter pipe, Carpenter tune on factory ECU and K and N's. All else stock. What rpm should I launch at? Don't want to bugger it up at the line. 3500 and let the clutch fly? What do you think it should run?

  13. Ideas on header temp reduction.

    I put the Carpenter pipe on my Roadster and moved the foot controls forward 8". I love the bike now but the heat coming off the header is cooking my pants and boots. I bought a couple rolls of DEI lava header wrap that I plan to install. Heat shields won't work as the front pipe makes a quick...

  14. RU2780 easy question.

    Will they work with the factory coolant overflow? If not, any part numbers available for underseat? Or slick billet frame mounts, etc?

  15. Putting front cover back on and adjusting clutch

    Hey guys. I'm getting ready to put the front cover on after upgrading the clutch springs. I have a couple questions. 1. I can set the preload at 1/4 turn or 1/2 to 3/4. Depending on lifter rod placement. Does it matter which? I don't want to preload the spring too much. 2. Should I hook...

  16. Clutch actuator bar

    I have a 2012 Roadster and just upgraded the clutch springs. I cannot believe how hokey the clutch actuator bar is. It already has gall marks from the bearings. Does anyone know where I can get a billet arm from? Any options. It appears to be very weak.

  17. Best oil.

    I see you can run either 10/40 or 15/50 in the Rocket. I made some power upgrades. You think 20/50 is ok or should stick with 15/50. And if so, who makes the best oil or any ideas? Mobil 1 4T, Redline, Amsoil, Motul, Belray, etc.

  18. Changing clutch springs

    Is it necessary to completely remove radiator and water pump to change clutch springs only?

  19. Flash tuned computer and now Rocket won't start

    Have a 2012 Roadster. Sent the computer to Carpenter and now bike won't start. Here's what I did. 1. Removed computer. I did not disconnect any fuses or disconnect the battery. 2. Sent to Carpenter. They tuned with Tune Boy, etc. 3. Received computer back. Reinstalled. Again battery...
