    For Sale Wompus Rack for RIII Standard/Classic. $100

    Wompus Rack for RIII Standard/Classic, pretty sure this also fits Roadster. The Wompus rack is an aftermarket rear rack. I used it to mount a Givi top box, but can be used to mount just about anything to the back of your Rocket III. It has a couple holes from the box mount, but no damage and is...

    The dreaded final drive drip....

    I just discovered a very slight leak from my '07's final drive, right off the bottom, it lands right next to the tire. It's only leaked a few drops at this point. Can someone clarify some issues for me? Does this mean a failure is eminent, or is the risk of failure solely due to leaking to the...

    Fast idle problem - 07 RIII

    Hi guys, My 2007 started idling too fast (2k+) when hot, particularly in traffic - note bike is stock . I've done some research, but there doesn't seem to be any definite fix. I removed and cleaned the crank angle sensor, and ran the 12-minute tune, seemed to run better, but didn't fix it...

    Trackstar Boots

    Just picked up a pair of Trackstar boots at Cycle Gear, they were on closeout for $59, I think the original price was over $100. They're really more of a 'touring' than a track boot, but offer far better protection than the unarmored engineer boots I've been wearing. They have ankle/shin armor...

    Passenger footrests

    Ok, overall, Mrs Marky likes the Rocket, but... she's kinda tall. I need to move the passenger footrest position down and forward. What is the easiest way to do this (2007 RIII w/ standard pegs)? I'd like to also add footboards as well.

    National Cycle V-Stream

    I just finished my installation of a National Cycle VStream windscreen. I bought the VStream N28204, which is the one configured for the M109R2. The 204 is the dark tint, 'short' version. The M109 has the same size fork tubes, so you really only need to trim the screen. There are two heavy...

    Backoff Brake Light Module vs Aerostich Bulb

    I want to add flashing brake lights, and am considering getting the Signal Dynamics XP module, but I note that the stock brake light on the Rocket isn't that good, so then I'm forking out more $ for a brighter bulb,etc. I noticed in the January issue of Rider magazines Hi-Viz Buyers Guide...

    Rear bag guards

    Do the rear saddlebag guards on the Touring keep the exhaust pipes off the ground in a tipover, or just protect the bags? Was thinking about some additional protection, but no point if the pipes get crunched anyway.

    Rack/sissy bar side plates

    Has anyone here fitted a rack and/or sissy bar using the side plates from a different make. As long as they're the right general size, I can redrill the mounting holes and adapt to my Givi plate. I don't have the tooling to fabricate plates from scratch. I do have access to a m/c salvage yard...

    Cee Bailey's Windshields

    I'm thinking about a Cee Bailey's windshield... Buuut. They don't come with hardware, but mention that one fits a 7 hole bracket and the other fits a 9 hole bracket. Are these Triumph bracket kits, and where would I get them? I'm looking at the 2" under, but am open to other options...

    Coolant dribble

    After parking the bike overnight after riding it, I've noticed a small amount of what appears to be coolant on the floor under the left lower corner of the radiator. The cap seems tight, I don't see or hear any leakage when riding nor right after I park it. The leaked amount is just a couple...

    Checking the oil

    Ok, I read the manual, and think I understand the Byzantine ritual for checking the oil. Run the bike for a minute or two, turn it off, let it sit ten minutes, and then with the bike level check the dipstick. I did this and there was no oil on the dipstick. After adding a quart, there was still...

    Finally!

    So, the transport company will deliver my R3 on New Year's Eve-would have been nice to get it while I had a week off work, oh well. New Year's is usually a good day to ride since most people sleep in with a hangover and then watch football all day, leaving the roads empty. I feel like Ralphie...

    Used Rocket mileage...

    A local dealer has a 2006 RIII that looks pretty clean, but has 20k miles. It has some extras, windshield, crash bars, passenger footboards. KBB shows $7900, they're asking $6900. I'd prefer lower miles, those of you with a lot of experience with this bike, would that many miles put you off...

    Rocket Shopping

    HI, I've negotiated funding authorization from my household's C.F.O. for a new bike, and am looking for a Rocket. Most likely a Roadster, but wouldn't rule out a screaming deal on a Touring. I've been riding since 1985, have had a wide variety of sport and sport-touring bikes, currently an...
