    Hello all from a former Rocket captain!

    Hello everyone, Just posting a how are ya doing message with a few pictures of my son. As possibly a few of you know I used to be an avid Rocket rider before I had a change of jobs and the birth of my son which has severely hampered my riding time (basically down to zero). Anyway, just...

    My new wheels, not a Triumph but I still love it...

    Well, I sold my Cummins pickup and Rocket III, what did I replace it with? Link Removed 350HP is a way to deal being Rocket-less! Being a Mopar guy I couldn't resist and waiting for the Challenger wasn't an option unfortunately. I probably couldn't have afforded it anyway so I will have to...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1&viewitem=&item=160158218681 I can only assume it was in a house fire, sad ending for this bike.

    Stripped screw on front master cylinder

    Does anyone have any advice on removing a stripped screw from the master cylinder? I have tried the Craftsman screw extractors but the screw is so soft it just keeps eating at the head.

    Checking throttle body sync with Tuneboy?

    Does the Tuneboy show you if your throttle bodies are in sync or not? I know you adjust it mechanically but I was wondering if the Tuneboy Diagnostic program provides this feature. It looks like it does but I want to make sure I don't need a Morgan Carbtune or some other tool like it.

    Tuneboy + PCIII

    Hello all, I finally got around to configuring my Tuneboy on my bike. I have installed the 20050DynoFinalMap_TOR_CatBypass_Decel.dat tune on my bike and have ridden it for a few days now (feels good to be back on the road!!!). I have had my PCIII off for a while but was wondering if there is...

    Who can summarize all of posts since Christmas for me???

    I have had a really busy life since Christmas. To summarize for all of you...I met a girl in August, we both love each other very much and like all good shotgun relationships we are getting married on Friday :bch:. Seriously though, I couldn't be happier and we are both a bit older and have to...

    Hey all, I sometimes have a problem downshifting when I have been cruising at highway speeds for quite a while...such as commuting to work in the morning....such as THIS morning . It has happened to me a few times in the past. I know the oil is fine as there is only about 3K miles on it. I am...

    Tinted Windscreens?

    Does anyone here ride with a tinted windscreen? I am getting another Clearview GT-25 screen for my Rocket this time with an air vent and the cutouts to accommodate the Triumph light bar. The only option I haven't selected yet is if I want it tinted or not. Just curious as to what others think...

    Traxxion Dynamics - Fork Suspension Work

    Hey guys, I am emailing with Traxxion Dynamics located in Woodstock, GA (near Atlanta). I am thinking of taking my bike down so they can disassemble the forks to see what kinds of services/products they can offer us. I need to work out the details with them before I set a date but I would...

    Fork Oil

    Has anyone replaced their fork oil yet? If so is the procedure hard? I was looking at the service manual and it mentions special tools to remove this and that....I was hoping to simply replace the oil without removing the components from the forks themselves. I am doing this because my...

    Installed new NGK spark plugs

    I installed the factory recommended spark plugs the other day and something funny has happened. My backfiring on decel has gone away (at least for 1 day and counting). My old plugs looked fine and I even had a mechanic friend look at them and he agreed. Just a curious finding I figured I...
