    I'm dreaming of an 8 gallon tank...

    Sitting on my R3 Touring, dreaming of an 8 gallon fuel tank. Thinking how great it would be, to have just that little bit of extra range. Nah, I'm not being greedy, ( I tell myself ). I just want another 2 gallons. Wondering how the gas tank's shape would change to hold the extra fuel capacity...

    I need to raise my gas tank. Help please?

    The 2013 Touring Rocket has its speedo embedded on top of its gas tank. The ignition switch is encased in a steel housing, and there are moldings and plastic fairings along the sides of the gas tank, up at the very front of the topside of the bike.

    Headlight bulb question--2013 Rocket 3 Touring

    Can someone please tell me the specs of the tiny bulb, within the main headlight housing? I believe the main bulb is an H4. Is that right? And, the bulbs in the driving lights, on both sides of the main headlight are H3's. Is that right? Well, what's the spec of the tiny bulb, below the main...

    Radiator Filler Cap Removal/Rocket 3

    Does the small lock nut on the side of the radiator filler cap need to be completely removed, or just loosened, to take the radiator cap off of the Rocket 3? Thanks everyone.

    Wife bought me a 2011 Rocket 3 with touring package, yesterday. I haven't even taken delivery of it yet. I may bring it home today. I've admired the Triumph Rocket 3 for years, and I've always wanted one. Even though this one has the touring package, ( with the lockable, hard shell, saddle bags...
