    Four way flasher options

    Does anyone know of any options for adding 4-way flasher functionality to an 05 RIII? I've seen the ST-2 self cancelling system, but their marketing is quite spammy, which always makes me suspect the quality of the product.

    Front tire woes.

    Didn't realize covid had caused moto tires to go the way of primers and lumber. My front is sorely in need of replacing (thanks to a nail last year, I'm on a staggered schedule with the rear) and they are mighty thin on the ground. I've been running the Cobra AV71, but apparently it's...

    Recommend a battery maintainer.

    I've had the Battery Tender Plus for years and really liked it, but I just discovered that it has grown legs, so I thought I'd check and see if there was anything else to consider before just ordering another one of the same. The former tenant I suspect of ganking it (he knows nothing about...

    Electronical weirdness!

    So, bike's been sitting for a week or so with cold wet weather. This week has been warm and nice so I took it to meet a client Monday. The year old Duracell battery struggled to start after only a week idle but it did finally catch. Gave it a minute to warm up and then, like a doofus, forgot...

    Insurance time again - some surprising quotes.

    Markel has taken good care of me for years, and they gave me a fair total loss settlement on my old Suzuki that pretty much paid for the Rocket. That said, times are tight and I've got to pinch every penny, so I got some quotes to see what my options were. I thought I'd share them with you all...

    Replacement rubber gasket for fuel gauge.

    I need a rubber gasket for the fuel gauge for a 2005, and I can only find the whole assembly. Anyone have any ideas?

    Clutch switch shenanigans...

    I'm starting to have issues with the clutch switch. Is there an established cleaning procedure to perform? If I replace it, since it's a $106 part (you could replace just the $6 switch component itself on my Suzuki </gripe>), is the switch portion of it compatible with any of the later models...

    Any interest in a meet up/ride?

    It's been quiet in here since before I got my Rocket, but I figured it's worth rattling the cage a little! I'd enjoy meeting up with any other area rocketeers, I know there's a few of us.

    Oil leak?

    So, back in October, I did an oil change - filter plus 5 qts, then ran the bike for a few minutes and topped it off to the "full" mark. Put a couple K miles riding down to Barber's Vintage Motorcycle festival, and rode around town for decreasing amounts as crappy weather set in. When it hit 50...

    Want to Buy Chrome horn cover

    Discovered my horn cover is cracked. PO painted it black and it's starting to chip, so it's time to replace it with a chrome one. Thought I'd check here and see if anyone had one they wanted to get rid of before I call the dealer tomorrow.

    Screaming Banshee install.

    Just got a Screaming Banshee to replace the anemic mouse fart of the OEM horn. Was able to fit it under the left side cover. I replaced the M6 bolt that holds the fuse box and battery tray with a longer one and double nutted it on the back with the supplied bracket. Quite an improvement!

    Got some Viking bags

    Still not crazy about them, but about the best looking, quality ones I could find at a decent price:

    Chrome oil filter cover on K&N?

    Just did my first oil change - what a breeze! Other than the fact that I referenced the wrong parts fiche engine number so I had the wrong crush washers and had to reuse the old ones. I used a K&N filter and wasn't able to get the chrome cover back on. I didn't spend much time with it as I have...

    Craftride bags?

    Anyone know anything about Craftride bags? They bear a suspicious resemblance to Mutazu: Panniers for Triumph Rocket III 2005 They're all over ebay right now, and I don't recall having seen them there before: Hard saddlebags Delaware 33l Triumph Rocket III/ Classic/ Roadster, Rocket X...

    This bike is Dharma.

    Not in the sense that it's like the path to truth, in the sense that it's like the ditzy Jenna Elfman character from the sitcom "Dharma and Greg". In the show, Dharma, the epitome of the Manic Pixie Dreamgirl, was a flighty flibbertigibbit prone to behave in whimsical ways. Today, while doing...

    Avon or Metzler?

    Time for new shoes already. Put 5K on since I got the bike in May. I've got a thing about wanting front and rear tire to match, and am not going to go darkside, so that leaves me with those options. I've never had Avons. I've had Metzlers on my 'zuki and wasn't overly impressed, especially...

    Stopped for gas and bike won't start.

    Turns over but won't catch. I hear the fuel pump click a few times when I turn the master on, but I never paid enough attention to what it normally sounds like . Shop is closed until Tuesday, what can I try over the weekend myself?

    This thing is falling to pieces underneath me...

    Wasn't able to ride all last week, so Monday afternoon I got on the Rocket and started hooning down the highway. Noticed it sounded a little off, and a thunderstorm was starting so I headed back to the barn. When I pulled off the highway I noticed it was really sounding like crap, so I pulled...
