    Lesson learned - Don't go to just any cycle shop

    So my rear tire was flat. Its winter time and its a great time to buy a new tire, stick it in the shop and get the work done. Well not many people can work on, or are willing to work on these rockets. Especially makes it harder when they only work on "hondas, or HDs or whatever brand they like...

    Well I'll cut you break and lets just say you were only doing 69.

    It really sucks owning a rocket where speeding is strictly enforced. Got out with a warning today. But then the cops are like, with all that said, "what the heck is that thing? Triumph Rocket 3 :). What size engine is that? 2300. :cool: What does that conver...? 140 cubic inches.(I cut him...

    Annoyed with this Corbin dual tour

    Finally warm enough to take a ride providing I can get my seat bolted up. Then I find the bracket doesn't line up with the seat eye holes. The whole thing is kind of off center and the round rubber feet don't seem to be placed in the correct spot. So hard to find any real quality any more.

    side by side of stock vs corbin

    Got my seat today, day earlier then expected. Too bad its 10 freaking degrees out. The worse thing you can do to me when I buy something like a seat is to give me options. So after gawking at every single rocket / corbin photo on the internet here is what I ended up with. Natural black and...

    Any tunes for carpenter setups with ramair?

    Hey all, will be looking to add the ramair and carpenter pipes to my 2013 R3R. Browsing through the resources I haven't found anything except maybe one for the CES pipes. Does any one have a tune that would work or could maybe share a recommendation?

    Map of Dyno Locations

    I think it would be cool if we could somehow put together a map of known places to get our bike dynoed similar to the map we have of our locations. I'm not ready yet but over the winter I think I'm going to do some mods that will probably require one. I have no idea who I should use for my...

    Local parts in Tennesse?

    Hey all, bit of emergency. Went through the tail of the dragon yesterday. Totally awesome but I'm getting some squeals from both the front and the rear. From what I can tell I still got plenty of meat but I figure I should play it on the safe side and replace them. I want to head back down to...

    Replacing grips, a little too late to ask for a how to?

    Hey all, just bought set of Kuryakyn iso grips PN 6340. Looked all over for a video or a how to,, but that's problem with riding a bike most people haven't even heard of. Information can be tough to find. Anyway I received the grips today. Proceeded to work on the throttle side. Couldn't...

    handlebar diameter for grips

    I know its a mundane question but looking to update my grips. I measure the outside diameter of my stock bars and it says 1" , When I go to a site like JP Cycles it keeps calling for 7/8 for my 2013 roadster. Does the bars taper down to something else or do they have it wrong? Don't want to...

    53 degrees!

    Finally warm enough to get a real test drive in! It's true, I got home and couldn't not wipe the grin off my face. Maybe this is what happened to private Pile. A question for those in the know, is the 2013 model limited by secondaries or electronically in anyway? I have found conflicting...

    Performance - diy pipes vs pro's

    I'm really wanting something like the carpenter street rod pipes, but ****, at $1600 what is so special about them? I have have half the mind to spend $500 on a okayish welder and make my own. Is there something we don't know that makes these things so pricey? Does anyone have any experience...

    Braking during cornering

    Ran out of rocket youtube videos to watch and now I'm watching all the wrecks and safety advice. I thought this might be interesting to some as this video teaches counter to what I've been taught. I've had it pounded into my head to brake before you enter a turn while the bike is still...

    bags that fit this bracket

    Hey all, I'll be looking for some bags soon and I notice the bike I bought looks like it had some sort of connectors. Does anyone know what will fit these? Or is this a standard setup?

    R3 + shortbed = what the hell are you doing?

    Anyone ever haul one of these in a short bed truck? Going to go get my bike tomorrow. 10 hours there and 10 hours back. From my measurements of what I can find online the rear tire will sit on the tailgate. Might buy a 2x10x8 for the tires to sit on so all the weight wont be on the gate. If it...

    buying pre-2010 Rockets

    Hey all, new guy here. Short story 3 weeks ago I didn't even know this bike existed. Started out looking for an Indian scout and noticed one of these beauties on ebay. Since then I've test rode both bikes and the power of this thing at first scared the crap out of me, but then I got this...
