    First ride of the year

    Roads were dry, it was about 5c out and windy but for the first time in months it was dry so I had to take the Rocket out for a spin. Have done a load of work to it over the winter - new Barrett clutch, Ramair, powder coat wheels, new bearings and tyres and a load of other "tidying" up jobs and...

    Triumph Factory Tour 2012

    Was going through my old Photobucket account and deleting stuff as they now want to charge me for having stuff on there and found some pictures from Triumph Live 2012. This was where you went to Mallory Park circuit for the day and part of it was a tour of the factory. Thought some might like...

    Ramair tune

    Hi all, So with all the love I’m giving my rocket at the moment with the clutch, wheels and whatnot I was reading up about the Ramair helping with backfiring on the overrun and bought one. 1. Does it help?? My exhaust is almost straight through and backfires a lot. There is no cat either. 2...

    Wheel coating - opinions please...

    I have taken the wheels off, tyres off and stripped the wheels down to just the rims ready for coating. I did my first rocket and went satin black, looked great and was on my 2009 Black Roadster, really set the bike off nice. Skipped the Phantom Blue 2011 Roadster. The Roadster I have now (I...

    I just wanted to say....

    THANKS!! That's it really!! I have recently ventured inside the engine to replace the clutch, not something I have done before. I got some great advice and support on here and just thought it nice to say thank you for the help and support, was a great boost to my confidence (I am not very...

    Clutch adjustment/issue

    Hi all, Bought my 2013 Rocket III Roadster in Jan this year as an insurance write off, cosmetic damage only. It had 962 miles on the clock and I have no idea of the history, how long it had stood and where. Got it all sorted and back on the road but have had clutch "issues" ever since. The...

    T-Bars

    Oil change - that old chestnut again

    Hey all, Buying a write off I didn't get any paperwork like a manual with the bike, done a search on here and found different answers, but what's the right quantity of oil when refilling? Seen posts in quarts which mean nowt to me over here ;) Is 5.5 litres correct? I don't even know what a...

    What is better than new bike bits?

    Free new bike bits!! Fly screen fitted and an opportunity for a shameless pimping of my baby :thumbsup: As it is just about there, or will do until next winter where more stuff will happen to make it mine, thought I would post a few pics. A bit about the bike - bought in January as a Cat N...

    An age thing? Baldies and bikes!

    Went to the Manchester Bike Show on Saturday and my mate bought his 18 year old son along for a look in the hope he would get into bikes one day. So, making use of the lad, we sent him off to get the coffees while we mooched. Half an hour later he finds us, commenting "Though it would be easy...

    Huge thanks!! Cowboyuptex

    Just a huge public thank you to @cowboyuptex !!! He very generously offered me a fly screen when I was looking at the bikebandit deal that wouldn’t ship to the UK. But here’s the thing, wouldn’t take a cent off me, posted it at his expense (though I will find a way to pay him back) and it...

    Detachable Sissy Bar

    Hi all, Quick question, will the quick release sissy bar and trims off the R3 Touring fit a Roadster? Is the frame the same between bikes? So thinking it should but would love to check in with the brain trust first before I splurge my hard earned. Part numbers - A9758067 and A9758075

    Finally popped my cherry.......again!

    Hadn't owned a Rocket for a few years, been away on some sort of "other bikes" folly for a bit, thinking "it's OK, I can kick the Rocket habit, I don't need one!", what was I thinking? I was wrong! Bought a CAT N (cosmetic write off) at new year, fixed it up, got it insured, taxed and MOT'd...

    Radiator twisted.

    Recently bought a 2013 Roadster, written off but fairly light easy to fix damage, mostly. When I bought it, it looked like the radiator was just off the bottom left mount but once I removed the covers and tried to refit the radiator, realised it is quite badly twisted having gone over on it's...

    Back again!

    Thought I would say hello and introduce myself again. Having owned 2 Rocket III Roadsters, I had a brain fart and went elsewhere for a bit, Tiger Sport, Bonnie Scrambler, B-King, BMW S1000XR, BMW R1200RS (Bloody awful bike, like riding a tractor) but all the time I missed the Rocket. SO, I...
