    Lithium Battery Woes

    With the first gen. Rockets, I think you have more room. And can fit this bad boy. I bought this one for my 2024 GT. Less room on the new Rockets.

    Looked like this when I sent it to them. I was using a Marsee tailbag.

    New Rocket reliability

    I sent my stock GT seat out to Russel Cycle products in Cali. I sent them an old Corbin backrest with it ,that I had kicking around for the last 20 years. They recovered it to match the seat. The bag is a Saddlemen bag. FTB 1000...

    Need Tires? Get Ready For Major Sticker Shock!!!

    I've had one of these marc parnes balancers for years. I put it across two jack stands. But tires are getting pretty good these days. I actually skipped balancing last change. Even the front. And no vibes at 115.

    Need Tires? Get Ready For Major Sticker Shock!!!

    I like these tires. I'm just out on the bike now, and was through a few good turns. Definitely gonna drag the pegs before any slippage. I lowered the pressure to 38/38. I think I'll leave it there for a while

    Need Tires? Get Ready For Major Sticker Shock!!!

    Well, that's something at least. would have been nice if they just charged you that to begin with. So you don't have to find something to spend the credit on. I was curious, so I looked up what I paid last summer.

    Found a solution to my big ugly backrest

    3.0 liter Rocket TOURING!. ha ha. I cant believe Triumph allows the brilliant 2.5 to languish in one (mostly) platform. They need a fully faired, proper GT. With some sustained 90 mph comfort aerodynamics. A Rocket Wing.

    Is this normal wear?

    I think roads are different all over. That probably makes a big difference in tire wear. Here's mine before I replaced it with a, now super expensive, Exedra max. I do see it looks a bit smoother than yours.

    Found a solution to my big ugly backrest

    I always thought it was a waste riding a gold Wing solo. One of the best two up bikes there is. My passenger was a 5 gallon gas can ,getting ready for the Alaska highway. That the bike never saw.

    Found a solution to my big ugly backrest

    Nice. I had a 2014, Bought it to ride to Alaska. Made it to Prince George BC. Then the tires looked like they wouldn't make it. And 7 days of rain in the forecast made me head down to Kelowna and get tires.......FYI, air filter is a little "involved" on these bikes.

    Took A Gas Bath

    happened to me when the Rocket was brand new. just waxed it. I didn't have the lever locked open, but I was expecting the automatic thing to trip when it was full. It Didn't. and just like you, overflowed all over the bike. I was so pissed I threw the nozzle on the ground and rode off.

    Corbin Fairing

    I think turbulence from semis sucks no matter if you have a windshield/fairing or nothing. Thing about no wind protection at all is the highway wind beats you constantly. I hated it when I first got the bike and had nothing. I'd put my feet on the pass pegs (not easy on these bikes) just to be...
