    For Sale SOLD-Rivco Risers for Standard/Classic models-SOLD

    Anybody need some Rivco risers? I have a set that I bought new, installed on my Roadster, and then removed a week or so later, so they are as new. I loved them on my old Classic, but the riding position on the Roadster is such that I preferred it without them. Looks like they sell for $200...

    Small shop problems

    Got my shop insulated & heated before the cold weather hit, so I'm able to tackle some projects. Just one small bay though, so sometimes i have to multitask. Waiting on parts for my pickup, so i decided to pull the new rocket back in and get started on the crash bars

    To modify or not to modify.... that is the question

    So, I've currently got a 2018 roadster with 10 miles on the clock, a carpenter exhaust, k&n filters, an obd 2 to usb cable, and a wideband 02 datalogger sitting in my shop. I had every intention of putting it all together this winter, but I'm having second thoughts. Should i at least get it...

    Interesting exhaust popped up on my eBay search

    TRIUMPH-ROCKET-III-ROADSTER-STOCK-EXHAUST-PIPE/401656872827?ul_ref=2014 TRIUMPH ROCKET III ROADSTER STOCK EXHAUST PIPE | eBay Saw this and didn't recognize it... doesn't look half bad. Would probably buy it if i hadn't just ordered a carpenter system last week.

    Couldn't resist

    Finally decided to pull the trigger....just ordered a new Roadster from National Powersports. $10999....I wonder what Triumph sold them for. Salesman claims they bought 60 and are almost out, for whatever that's worth. Now comes all the work to get it set up like my '07, and the pain of...

    My summer project (warning H-D content)

    Thought I'd show off my project from this summer. Better late than never i guess. I wanted a scrambler style bike i could ride out across fields and through ditches. I like taking a bike to scout fields but the Rocket is not exactly at home off road. I also wanted something cheap, somewhat...

    Back in the Rocket market

    I finally sold my old Goldwing today! Which means I am now under the maximum allowed number of motorcycles! No hurry as I have my '07 Classic set up just about right, but I'd like to move up to an ABS model with the more standard position controls. I believe that would be any '13+ Roadster...

    For Sale SOLD

    Triumph Fixing Kit A9738051. These came from the factory on my '07 Classic. Complete EXCEPT for two of the four 8mm screws. The correct screws are $3.67 from Triumph, or a lot cheaper from your local hardware store. The kit sells for $90 new. These had a couple of rust spots around the...

    For Sale SOLD

    Factory Leather Bags off my 07 Classic. These have the curl on the lids, as you can see in the picture. I got it under control with oil and pressing it into place, but over the course of a couple years it has curled back up again. It actually looks like the lids have overall shrunk a little...

    New Tsukayu bags & flyscreen!

    I've never been happy with the leather bags triumph makes available. I love the Corbin bags, but they are just too expensive. After doing a lot of research, I read several positive reviews of Tsukayu brand bags. I ordered the 'jumbo strong' in gloss black fiberglass. If I was to do it again, I...

    My new office/hideout

    I posted a few months ago about there being a lot of changes in my life, including a move to a new house. The new place is about 2/3 of the space of our old house, but it was otherwise prefect, with storage for my machinery in a nice secluded area. One of the sheds had a semi-enclosed area...

    For Sale SOLD

    Screen that came on my 07 Classic. I think these were factory installed. Part number on screen is A9740049. It's in very good shape. Normal wear and tear for its age, but would polish up really nice. Fixing kit not included nor available (from me). Current retail is nearly $500; I'm looking...

    For Sale anyone need a vintage Goldwing?

    This is the ad copy I've been using . I've been listing her for $2500 but would take less. Doubt if anyone on here is interested, but you never know. Maybe somebody has a buddy with a burning desire to own an old GL. Offered for sale: 1978 Honda GL1000, better known as a first generation...

    Cool tank of gas...

    One of the many pleasures of the rocket.... filling up with gas (which happens a lot) on a blazing hot day, and then feeling that cool tank between your legs as the big triple punches out its staccato rhythm.

    What a difference a tire makes!

    Just got back from getting a new front tire fitted. Went with the avon cobra in 140/75r17 and it feels like a different bike. Feels 150lbs lighter. MUCH faster steering response. Can't understand why triumph didn't spec this tire from the factory; i think it would improve their sales. I had been...

    Carpenter sidewinder on classic/standard

    Anybody seen a sidewinder system on a classic or standard? I'm wondering if it's compatible with the more forward location of the brake on the older model. Of course if i got one and it isn't I'd have a good excuse to upgrade to a roadster. I'd like to get a system, and i like the looks of the...

    Back after a long hiatus, and a shoutout to warp

    My last post was 10 months ago, not long after warp visited me and dropped off a set of standard bars for my classic. A lot has changed since then. Shortly after that visit we started harvest. It was another miserable time; 3rd year in a row of major problems with a combine that was broken...

    This Close " to cutting off heel shifter

    Heel-toe shifter on my Classic is driving me nuts. The heel portion HAS to go, but I like the position of the front. Will I regret hacking it off? Is this a valuable, high-demand part? I know Triumph lists them at $137. If I can put a $25 YZ125 lever and sell mine for $100, I suppose that'd...

    Standard Handlebars

    Would someone be willing to give me the dimensions of the 'Standard' handlebars? And/or the Roadster bars? ie rise, width, and pullback? I have a Classic, and the bars have too much pullback, and force my wrists into an odd angle that hurts after even a short time. I think I read that the...
