    "American Pickers"....nice find

    It's still in barn found condition, in those photos, lol. That was right after my bike crash and I wasn't getting around very well when those were made so I couldn't really get back into the shop where it was until that day. Doing much better now though and have remedied the dustiness of lil'...

    "American Pickers"....nice find

    If they had offered me $800 for mine, I'd have just showed them the door.

    Being Seen

    These are the ones that I was talking about, Walmart.com: Driving Light Kit: Automotive and for their size they do put an amazing amount of light. Anything that you can add to your bike to make your more visible is money well spent to me. I had those driving lights and a headlight modulator on...

    changing tire??

    Lol, I've got that exact same sandblast cabinet, never even had sand in it, I got ran over the month I bought it. I never said it was easy to change the rear tire just that it could be done with less than the 3 grown men and a small boy that the dealer said it would take.:D The fronts I can...

    changing tire??

    I agree about the tools, but I did it with the Harbor Freight tire machine the times that I did it, so it is possible. I talked to the service manager at Triumph of Chattanooga right after I got the Rocket about the rear tire and balancing, he told me that the tire machine they had would not...

    changing tire??

    Despite Atomsplitters advice to the contrary I did manage to change the rear on my Rocket III four times before it was repo'd with a manual tire changer. 3 Met'z and then finally a Toyo. I'd cut the old tire bead and then using quite a bit of finesse and some slickum I'd mount the new tires...

    Triumphs from Thailand?

    I wouldn't put a lot of stock into that Harley made in USA belief. They may be mostly assembled here, but from the cheapest available parts sourced from all over the globe. CAD edited to add: Triumph is just doing business and trying to compete in an ever tightening world market, I don't...

    red t/s lenses for the rear?

    Probs after dealer installed new tune

    Sensei, I may have a misunderstanding of the 12 minute tune. I have been under the impression that you start the bike and let it idle until the fan starts and then start the timer for the 12 minutes. Am I mistaken? CAD

    ignition switch again?

    I don't blame you JD, I was constantly worried about my Rocket leaving me stranded somewhere while I had it, that's why I wasn't too sad to see it go. Sure I would have rather not seen it repo'ed but I could do nothing about it. Looking in from the outside now, after not having the Rocket...

    Rockets Across America VI

    Well I talked to the male half of my parental pair and he is letting me have a choice in the Tri-fecta of his bigger bikes. I can use the Gold Wing, his 1700 CC Road Star or his 1600CC Road Star. I'm leaning toward the 1700, it's a Silverado model and has bags and a Windshield, so I'll have a...

    Rockets Across America VI

    If I by some strange twist of fate am able to get to MV, is someone going to have room for me? If so, I'll start walking that was as soon as I feed the dog. Actually I've been able to borrow a Road Star from my Dad and will be riding it there, hopefully. CAD

    Rockets Across America VI

    If you don't already have the horn, check at Advance Auto for a WOLO brand horn. It is a Steple horn, just rebranded and available for about $10 less. The installation is a breeze. CAD

    chromed fork bottoms

    Aren't those lower sections made from aluminum, if they are and there was someone on the forum that polished aluminum I'd be willing to bet that he would take care of them for ya, all you'd have to do is ask. CAD
