    Just Saying Thanks & Good-bye

    Let me know when you need a used final drive for your Beemer, and I'll make sure I'll sell you one the same way you sold me yours.

    For Sale 2005 Triumph Rocket III

    No, that was not my intention at all. What I am saying is that if you're pressed to sell you'll remain in that state for quite sometime! I am happy with mine.

    For Sale 2005 Triumph Rocket III

    Unpleasantly surprised of how hard it is to sell these Rockets. There are dealers that wouldn't even take one as a trade in. On Craig's List you see the ads for months at the time and the bikes are still available for sale. I thought about it before I bought a used 2005 early in the year but...

    For Sale 2007 Rocket III mulberry red

    Name calling is not nice and doesn't make you a man. You shouldn't have asked that question to begin with. Not a good moral decision on your part. Called you on it and you couldn't take it. By the way, I have a few bolts and nuts that came off my '05. I can sell you those if you want them so we...

    For Sale 2007 Rocket III mulberry red

    I am absolutely sure that's exactly what he had in mind when he posted the ad, but he didn't know how to ask if anyone wanted just the fly screen. Some people are simply unbelievable.

    That's more like it and can relate to it because that's exactly how it happened to me. Thank you!

    Fuel capacity

    I said it before and I am going to say it again. Unless there are major differences between the 2005 model and the later touring versions, putting 6.3 gallons in the tank of a Rocket III is pure sci-fi to me and I'm going to tell you why. The low fuel light on my 2005 comes on at about 109...

    Ordering a Final Drive from Bike Bandit

    That is my big concern, Triumph parts. Their price for the final drive is great, but can they get the part from Triumph? The only way to find out is to actually place the order for one. Boy I hate this!

    Ordering a Final Drive from Bike Bandit

    Talked to some guy at Bike Bandit about purchasing a brand new final drive for my 2005 Rocket III, and was told that they need to contact Triumph about availability. He said it could take up to 10 to 15 days until they know one way or the other. Asked if they could look into it and get back to...

    Triumph Rocket III Worth Hanging on to It or not?

    What's the cost of labour in getting the upgrade kit installed?

    Too bad I didn't see the post mentioning Bike Bandit and went with the purchase of the used one. Too late to complain about it but I wish I knew...

    Triumph Rocket III Worth Hanging on to It or not?

    Well, I spent $469.00 for a final drive with 40,000 miles on when I could have had a new one for just a bit over a hundred dollars more. I'm wondering why the seller was asking that much for a used final drive. Maybe he didn't know either? I choose to believe he didn't. But is that the truth?

    Triumph Rocket III Worth Hanging on to It or not?

    I know, I know, I know.... But why are people selling used final drives on E-Bay for more than a new one sells for on Bike Bandit? I am going to call them first thing Monday morning and ask for availability. I bet you I will run into some problems...

    Triumph Rocket III Worth Hanging on to It or not?

    You are absolutely right. I didn't think about that. But let's not take into consideration the miles you drive in the cage. I never had more than three bikes in the garage at the same time, and yes, it's true you can only ride one at the time. If I had the Rocket and two other beemers, I'm sure...

    Triumph Rocket III Worth Hanging on to It or not?

    If I were you I wouldn't even mention the mileage or brag about the low cost of repairs, even though I'm sure you were not. At 3,500 miles per year I don't think that any bike would have a high cost of repairs. Under average riding conditions you should have had at least 80,000 miles on it, if...

    Triumph Rocket III Worth Hanging on to It or not?

    I looked everywhere, with the exception of Bike Bandit of course, and the price for a new final drive was $2,700.00 Even the dealership I took the bike to quoted me the same price. Look, I am not stupid and I don't just jump on things without doing some research. I researched the prices and all...

    Triumph Rocket III Worth Hanging on to It or not?

    Rest assure I don't suffer from delusions. First of all, I am a man of many bikes and well aware that mechanical things are not perfect. They all need periodic maintenance, they all have problems one has to deal with. But I am wondering about designing a final drive that has no serviceable parts...

    Triumph Rocket III Worth Hanging on to It or not?

    About two and a half months ago I bought an '05 with 6,500 miles on it. Rode it around town and at 8,400 miles I noticed an oil leak coming from where the shaft comes out of the engine. I thought it was the rear main seal but it turned out the final drive seal is the culprit. Bike is still in...
