    For Sale 2015 R3T

    After much thought, I am selling my Rocket. I am at the age where my ability to feel comfortable moving the Rocket around and stopping at lights and such is not what it needs to be. I am putting safety over my love of this ride. I have now bought a Goldwing Trike so its time. I bought the R3T...

    2015 R3T rear inner fender paint/wiring

    I bought one of the left over 2015 R3T's in late Sept of 2016 after I destroyed my 2005 Classic. It has been a great Rocket so far, just not riding enough yet. I was cleaning the rear inner fender when I saw the wiring harness hanging down and laying on the rear tire. I removed the bags and...

    At Dealer Yesterday...

    Temp broke 50F yesterday so off to the dealer, about a 50 mile ride, to file a warranty claim. I noticed the left grip had a layer of rubber material lifting and peeling like a sun burn. No issue, and new grip on order. Looking at the new bikes, they had a couple of new Triumph BOBBERS. Not...

    Rocket Crashed and Totaled

    I am no longer a Rocket Captain, I crashed out on a group ride Wednesday the 24th. I was on my American Legion Legacy run along with 350 others in Tennessee when fate caught up with me. Typical large group oscillation's compressed the line in a very sudden motion, worse then any others on the...

    New oil tank Embilisher

    While at Rolling Thunder this last May, I met a vender from Evansville, In, Old Jim Customs. Of course they were moving Harley products but we chatted about the Rocket and the oil tank. They have many designs they are able to use and they said they could easily make something. So, back home and...

    Bump the motor to start

    My turn to be stumped so any suggestions are needed. My 2005 with about 48K has had intermittent starting issues the past couple of years. The starter will not engage when the button is depressed. Cleaned the cable grounds, star washers, new solenoid contacts, new relay, cleaned the crankshaft...

    New Avons and Indian Scout

    I had new Avons mounted yesterday, initial impression is positive. I will know more after the RAAX trip. Dealer in town is a 'most brands' shop, not Triumph but generally does good work but can not balance the Rocket rear wheel assy, his shaft is too short.:rolleyes: We installed balance...

    It is finally in the 40's F and climbing, the snow is melting and Spring is closer than yesterday. Uncovered the R3, checked fluids and battery...ITS ALIVE!! The sound is great after 5 months of reading the posts of those not snow afflicted. Now if it would rain just a bit to wash the sand...

    Aussie Time travel & Gravity Concerns

    I had a note a few hours ago from my daughter. She is attending a conference in Brisbane and had just arrived. She lives in St Louis and had stayed in Honolulu as an 'adjustment' stop enroute. She messaged upon Brisbane arrival that she had left Honolulu Friday morning and arrived Brisbane...

    Starter Solenoid repair

    I just replaced the starter solenoid contacts today, 45 minute job. I had issues a year ago with clicking but no engagement. I had taken the solenoid apart and filed the copper contacts and ring for a temporary fix, lasted almost a year. I ordered the repair kit last week from the UK...

    Waiting for the snow to melt...

    Hello all, I am not new to the Rocket, just this site. Good to know where the advise and information can be found. I have had the Red 05 for 3 years now, my ride home was the worst ride of my old (62) year life. I had a 06 Tiger I traded in, the R3 is NOT at all like a Rocket, and I was...
