  1. Progressive Front Fork Springs

    Is the installation a fairly easy process and did you change the oil or just let the stock springs drip off back into the fork tube? _________________ Mike Like everything else, it's easy if you've done it before and you have the time. I took mine to my local dealer to be installed. I am...
  2. Progressive Front Fork Springs

    Update on the performance of the Progressive Front Springs: Overall, I am very happy with the performance. I have about 300 miles on the new springs already. Here is what I can say: First, I wanted to get rid of the 'diving' the front end takes while braking. It does a great job of that! (PS...
  3. Progressive Front Fork Springs

    Thanks everybody for the info. I ordered the springs. After I get them in and have a chance to ride and compare, I will post a comparo report. :lol:
  4. Progressive Front Fork Springs

    I know it's been talked about before, but can anybody report on the before and after performance with the Progressive front fork springs ? Do they reduce the front end dive under breaking? Thanks.... 8) [/b]
  5. K-drive saddlebags from NewR3

    That's perfect!! Many thanks!!!!! You just talked me into the larger 49L bags. :D
  6. K-drive saddlebags from NewR3

    "here's what the hardware looks like on the bike. pretty benign...but I had mine powder coated to match the fender rails, etc. Stock they're chrome plated." JRHorton.... Correct me if I am wrong......it looks like NewR3 is selling the smaller 39L bags. JR - you state you have the larger 49L...
  7. K-drive saddlebags from NewR3

    Mine is 2006 in Graffite. Got 15K miles on it now. I have kind of been on that 'other' site but am tiring of it. This one is much better!
  8. K-drive saddlebags from NewR3

    Could these bags be used with the 'Ghost' brackets?? I like the idea of not having a bunch of hardware on the bike when the bags are not being used. Thanks...

    Look at the guy in the background laughing!!
  10. Helmets, shields, backrest, & accessories suggestions

    I have the HJC model AC-12 Carbon. Very nice helmet, good ventilation.It's lighter than my 3/4 helmet. And since I have the graphite Rocket, it goes along with the color scheme too. http://www.hjchelmets.com/ac12_carbon.htm
  11. JD Power survey

    Yep. I got one too. I was opening up several pieces of mail when all of a sudden this dollar bill was laying in my lap. I thought, "where the h#ll did that come from". I guess I felt guilty so I filled it out and sent it in. It will be interesting to see what they print in December.
  12. Forum Aliases

    I don't think my story is as good as some that I have read, but here goes. Priority One is the name of my boat, which is my number one pastime; fishing and diving. People always want to know when is the next time I am going out as they sure would love to go. So many times I would call them and...
  13. R III chrome quality

    I see you are located in Florida. We (I live in Florida also) have to keep up with the cleaning a little more than other captains. Florida has a lot of salt in the air that wreaks havoc with things like chrome. I've had the Rocket now for about 10 months and I have no complaints with the chrome...
  14. Rocket Touring Model Rumors

    I'm with Hondax. Most people I run into (not literally) don't know Triumph is even in business. Triumph needs an aggressive ad campaign and more involvement in the american market. I probably wouldn't have bought the Triumph if the nearest dealer was too far away. I'm lucky I have a good dealer...
  15. engine guard bars

    I have the Rivco bars and found them to be easy to install. Like Hondax, took me about 45 min. total start to finish. IMO - I think the bars would bend before they would break off at he mounts. Very good design. I've had them now for about six months, and no visible problems with the finish...
  16. Lowest Price on Rocket III

    Definitely show the dealer you have a better price from another dealer. Two things can happen. (1) Your local dealer will adjust his price to an agreeable number (2) He might just let you know why the out of town dealer's price is that low. He may come up with something you don't know, or did'nt...
  17. History test

    Well, I guess I'm showing my age. I got 18 of them correct. One other thing that I can remember is the 'gas wars' from the 60's. All of the gas stations would lower their prices to get your business. I can honestly remember the lowest price I ever saw posted at one of the gas stations. How...
  18. Torque Magazine...

    Maybe you could let him keep the magazine and borrow his wife for awhile?? :evil:
  19. aaargghhh stupid stealership

    Just another thought. See if the dealer that has the red bike with the black engine also has a black bike with the silver engine. I'm sure you could get him to swap out the body parts for a small fee 'cause that is exactly what I did when I bought mine. Get what you want, or you will never be...
