  1. bear claw mod

    There were similar holes in the 'cheese grater' airbox cover trim on my Speedmaster. I took some metal screen, painted it yellow (to match the bike), and epoxied it to the inside of the cover. It made the holes stand out nicely.

  2. Triumph Quit Ignoring Your Ignition Problems

    Gladly. Here's my story retold from the original post (I'm still afraid of straying too far from home on this bike). My 09 Rocket with less than 2,000 miles on it tried to strand me while 1,000 miles from home in Canada. After stopping for about 30 minutes to do some sight seeing, it refused...

  3. motorcycle trailer

    I put about 3,500 miles on my PiggyBacker this summer - no problems at all with bike or trailer. Just allow a little more radius on your sharp turns. We ran lots of interstate at 70 + miles per hour. The bearings would heat up, put I had enough room to pack a small grease gun to give them a shot...

  4. Ignition problems?

    You'd better get back to the dealer on the key thing. I think they are supposed to change the locks on the fuel tank and seat as well - at least that's what my dealer did with my '09. I assumed it was all part of the repair.

  5. Ignition problems?

    I hope they get your switch in and done in time! There were 2 Rockets behind mine in the shop waiting for ignition switches too. The dealer ordered a bunch of switches, but only got one - which I got. I guess they're having a run on them?

  6. Ignition problems?

    My dealer just finished replacing the ignition switch on my '09 (after a month + wait for the part.) The bike had less than 4,000 miles on it when it went intermittent and stopped working in July. On closer inspection the switch seemed to be fine, but the electrical connector was shot. One of...

  7. R3 Tee Shirts

    I'd take a large if they were available.

  8. Ignition Switch replacement denied by Triumph?

    I share your pain - the switch on my '09 went out exactly 1, 312 miles away from home while I was in Canada last month. Fortunately I was able to wiggle the wire coming out the bottom until it came back alive and then zip stripped it to the clutch cable. 2 days later the headlights quit (2 more...

  9. Another ignition switch failure.

    My 09 Rocket with less than 2,000 miles on it tried to strand me while 1,000 miles from home in Canada. After stopping for about 30 minutes to do some sight seeing, it refused to start when I tried to leave (turn key = nothing.) I checked the connectors under the tank and eventually wiggled the...

  10. Trailer hitch on a Rocket??

    Here's where I got mine: Home It was about $250 with shipping and customs fees (they are made by Denray in Canada.) Very high quality with nice chrome. About 10 or 15 minutes to install. I pull a Piggybacker trailer (painted Phantom Black) with it.

  11. Best price on R3Tour Ontario or New York

    I'm not sure of the leagal technicalities involved, but I know that my dealer has sold Triumph motorcycles and Can-Am ATVs (!) to people from Canada. And we're a long way from the border. I guess sometimes there is enough difference in price to make it worthwhile?

  12. How fast have you ridden your Rocket III?

    Between 60 and 70 mph. I just picked it up and I've only got 33 miles on it.

  13. Winter Riding

    I usually ride all winter. Of course having a side car, a fat car tire, and good snowmobile gear makes it easier. You can't see it in the picture, but my Speedmaster has a Velorex sidecar attached. This was taken in Johnstown, PA last January at the Steeler's Superbowl Rally. I'm about to trade...
