    Avon Tires- Have You Heard This?

    Bought a new Avon Cobra tire to install on my Roadster front end(just put a new Avon 240 on the rear). This is my 3rd set of Avon Cobras. Fantastic tires, grip like glue, never an issue of any sort. I went to a local Honda dealer to have the new Cobra mounted and balanced which they said they...

    Need Some Help

    I need to buy a new rear wheel for a 2015 R3R. Most of the Triumph parts suppliers on the net haven't updated their fitment guides beyond 2014 models. The part number most of them show for the "rear wheel assembly is T2010408, however one parts tech told me that part number has been superseded...

    Progressive 444-4209 Standard Spring Rate 12.5"

    I have a 2015 Roadster I'm 6'4" and weigh 235. I'm looking at the above rear shocks and wondering if anyone here has a late model Roadster that has upgraded to these particular shocks. I've read here that some folks felt that Triumph improved their later model shocks over ones on earlier model...

    Dealership Problem - Need Your Advice

    I took my 2015 Rocket Roadster (with 1700 miles showing) to the local Triumph Dealer to have them install new Avon Tires front and back (hated the Metzlers). The dealership's policy was that I had to buy the tires from them(no carry in option). So I complied and purchased the tires and made an...

    2015 Roadster suspension questions

    I'm interested in your opinions regarding Progressive fork springs as I've noticed many Rocket riders have installed them. I feel that the stock rear shocks aren't too bad, but the front forks seem really inadequate considering the weight of the Rocket being so far forward. Rough spots in the...

    Have you run into this?

    I'd really like to rid myself of my Metz tires. I'm a big fan of Avons and after reading everyone's satisfaction with the 240 Bridgestones for the rear I would like to give it a go. The local Triumph dealer tells me that installation is $40 per wheel, the catch is I have to buy the tires from...

    Floorboards for a 2015 R3R

    I wanted to install some floorboards on my 2015 R3R ( I'm 6'4" with a size 14 shoe). Started with Rivco but their web site stated that they only fit standard and classic Rocket 3's. I called Rivco and asked them if they would work on my 2015 R3R. They said they didn't know since they'd never...

    Insurance Claim Humor

    Had to share this with you guys. I owned a Harley before my Rocket. A drunk driver pulled in front of me and left me with one of two choices, die or lay the bike down. I chose life of course. I've never had an accident (auto or motorcycle) so the call to a claim agent was my first go round...

    Wheel Question

    Can anyone here tell me what company manufactures the wheels for Triumph on the 2015 Rocket Roadsters? Nothing important, just curious. I'm really impressed with the design and overall workmanship quality of the rims. It's unfortunate that they're not more outwardly visible. (I was buffing off...

    It's probably just me

    I have a new 2015 Phantom Black Rocket Roadster. Like most people I looked at pictures,watched videos, and read everything I could find on this terrific motorcycle. I've ridden and owned many different brands over the years, but I think what drew me to the Rocket was its uniqueness. I realize...

    Hello from Florida Gulf Coast

    Long time rider. My first motorcycle back in the 70's was a Norton 750 Commando which I'm holding responsible for my lifelong addiction to "being in the wind on two wheels." Just bought a new 2015 Rocket Roadster still in the crate. Bike is being assembled as I write this post. It will be...
