    New Brake Recall!

    Hey everyone, there is a new brake recall here in the US (hopefully everywhere) for the rear brake issue many of us have experienced. They are replacing the rear brake master cylinder with a new, larger one. Apparently the NHTSA started investigating this in March of 23. I complained to them in...

    Hey All, So I recorded my mirror vibration Issue (link below). It happens at around 5k RPMs, all gears. Mirror becomes useless. Is this normal vibration? Have done it with clutch in and out, same result.

    Vibration, Cause for Concern?

    Hey everyone, So I've had both my stock mirrors replaced under warranty as the mirror would fail where it attaches to the stem. Under heavy acceleration and at highway speeds my mirrors vibrate terribly. To the point it's hard to make out what's behind me. Others have said this isn't normal. My...

    Oil Consumption

    I asked this in the FB group as well, but should I be concerned with my oil consumption? I checked oil before a long trip and it was about halfway. About 2k miles later I checked it again and it's below the minimum. No visible leaks or smoke from exhaust. I've never owned a bike that drank oil...

    Rear Brake Went

    Tonight while riding my rear brake went. Was able to completely push it down without much stopping power at all. This bike had the recall done before I bought it. Something is seriously wrong if Triumph let's this continue as bleeding obviously is just a temporary fix for many people. Someone...

    Removed "Fender" Behind License Plate

Just 3 torq screws and it was done in a few minutes. Think I'll keep it this way until a suitable side...

    Hey Everyone, Just got this bag for a long trip I have coming up, the Saddlemen TS3200DE Tactical Deluxe. Runs $180 on Amazon. They have a non-tactical for $160 (which I didn't know at the time or I would've bought that). The tactical has extra loops on it to attach other items to. Fits great...

    Adjusting Forward Controls

    Searched around, but couldn't find any posts regarding adjusting the forward controls. Manual says to contact the dealer to do it, but seems it should be easy enough to do. Just looking for some general guidance so I don't screw it up. Thanks!

    California Scientific Windshield Review

    Hey Everyone, I got around to installing the California Scientific clear windshield last weekend on my GT. The install was extremely easy and took maybe 5 minutes. I DID use some blue locktite as some extra security since you are only supposed to hand tighten the screws. I did about 100 miles or...

    Any "must do" mods?

    Hey All! Just brought home my Rocket GT yesterday, love it so far (except for getting destroyed on the highway, but i have a windshield on order). Are there any "must do" quality of life mods? For instance, when i had my VRod, just about everyone upgraded to a K&N, removed the baffles from the...
