    Silver water pump

    Would any of you former or current rocket captains have a new SILVER water pump you would like to part with ? Mine dripped a little when I got it out this year. It has stopped now, but now I'm leary of it. Let me know if you do. Thanks !

    Hey Triumph !

    I got an idea. Instead of trying to convert the new R3's into a cross country 2 up kinda bike, how about a whole new one ? Resurrect the "Trident" name, use the 2500 motor, but build it more like a standard. With accessories to customize to be a cruiser or a long haul. Make suitable for two...

    Front tire pressure

    I have an "old" R3. I'm running an Avon Cobra 140/75 on the front. I've been running 38psi in it. I just noticed it says max load at 42psi. What are you guys running in yours ?

    Rear wheel bearings, my take

    I recently removed my back wheel for tire replacement and low and behold my wheels bearing are bound up again. I've been reading about people shortening the spacer. I don't agree. I've attached a drawing from All Balls on bearing installation with spacer. In the drawing the "fully seated...

    Similarities

    This is one of the things that attracted me to the Rocket. I always thought the two pipes on one side, and one on the other was really audacious. Almost all three cylinder bikes rounded up or down. Only the baddest ones said "Three in your face" 😁

    Hyperlites

    Hi boys and girls ! I have a set of 16 led Hyperlites. On each side 8 leds are brake lights, 8 are turn signal. I revamped my turn signals last year, so don't need the turn signal capability. I'm wondering if any of you have a 16 led all brake light set you would like to trade for mine. I'd...

    This past winter I bought an extraordinary set of battery cables from @Mittzy ! I finally got around to installing them. Paul said whoever installed first should make a tutorial. I must be first. So here goes. This is what I started with. First off unhook and remove the battery, and remove...

    Smartphone's and the not so smart

    About a week and a half ago. Coming home from work (I take the old two lane highway, never any traffic). As I approached a down hill area, I noticed something in my lane. As I got closer it became apparent there was a pick up truck fully in my lane coming at me. Thank goodness I was in my car as...

    The famous starter click

    Today my starter would click but the engine wouldn't turn over. I'm guessing my starter switch on the end of the solenoid is going bad. Can you get replacement parts for them or is it typical Triumph and you have to buy an entire starter ?

    This may be true.......

    But at least we have good taste in motors !

    Otto correct

    I believe auto correct is going to completely change our language. Reading through some the posts on here is hilarious. I recently read that the guy who invented auto correct had died, may he rust in piss !

    New rear blinkers

    During my repair from the deer crash I added Hyperlite brake/turn signals. These were to be my main blinkers. I then added some sequencing LED'S just for fun. I have had a couple different people tell me my Hyperlite turn signals don't show up well in the daylight. After studying them, I've...

    Lost a friend

    I just found out yesterday. My crazy friend Lawrence passed away Saturday. I had mentioned him in a post here recently. He ran all his motors to edge and beyond. Apparently he was doing doughnuts with one of his Harley's and lost it, hitting his helmet less head on the ground. We go back about...

    For the thousandth time, tires

    Remind me again what is the hot shot tire many of you are running on the front ? I believe it's an Avon Cobra radial. One size down from stock. Supposed to make the bike feel way lighter. Anybody got the number of this magical tire ?
