Hello Rocketeers,
Yesterday I removed the backrest and installed the Lamonster Tail Tidy on my 2025 Evel Knievel GT. I'm super happy with the results, and thought i would share some tips and pictures for others who may be interested in doing a similar mod.
First, the backrest removal was...
Hi everyone,
following a motorcycle accident in July, I am currently rebuilding my Rocket III Touring piece by piece. Unfortunately, I have found that some of the original parts I still need are becoming very difficult to find. Some are no longer available from Triumph at all, while others are...
decided I'm going to buy a Honda gl1800 to help with my wifes riding discomfort. It will be good for both her and me for longer rides and I can return my back sissy bar to its factory pad. I doubt she will ever wanna ride on the rocket after taking a ride on the goldwing.
Going to look at the...
Decided I'd try my hand at making a custom backrest thats taller for her since she is used to a goldwing back seat.
It's not the prettiest and I will eventually recover it with material that goes all the way down. I will probably replace the pad since I kinda messed it up but for just throwing...
2014 RIII Touring: I want to install a rear top case, but need to keep the luggage rack installed and remove the passenger backrest. I just found that the backrest posts serve as the nuts for securing the rack.
Are there any inserts available to mimic the backrest posts, short of cutting them...
Hey guys, I’m new to the forum. I picked up a 2020 GT and loving this thing. But I really dislike the way the rear of the bike looked with the back rest and trying to find the filler plates. I took a leap of faith and decided to cut it off with my grinder and see if it was possible to sand it...
I am picking up a 2025 GT on Friday. I had an R but traded it last year and regretted it, so I’m correcting that mistake. I am getting the GT for the extended handlebars, forward controls, and windscreen, but I always ride solo so I’d like to remove the backrest. I found instructions for...
What size Torx drive are the two bolts on the rear cover of the GT backrest? I’m guessing T 45 but wanted ask before trip to hardware store for a driver. Thanks.

Hello,
I have a 2015 Rocket III Roadster with the standard height backrest and I’m looking to get the tall backrest.
Can somebody tell from his tall backrest, the height of it from the very lower to the top edge? I want to know the difference.
I have a 2005 Rocket, is there a business that produces aftermarket parts for the bike in England, USA, Europe
So far, no luck here in Australia sourcing the above-mentioned items.
Regards
Tony
As some of you saw this past June in Richwood, Brahma's rider backrest has a hole. Well, I noticed a new hole starting and figured I should arrest them both.
I got quotes from two auto upholstery shops, $160 and $170 for repairs. OUCH! I can't do that so back to old school stuff I would have...
My wife sold her 16 Speedmaster 2 years ago and I haven't had much luck finding a backrest for my 16 Roadster, for her.
Granted, I haven't been scouring every corner of the earth. Having this community now, I'm hoping for some help.
Understand the R3 GT passenger backrest is adjustable. Can anyone tell me the size of the backpad (LxW) and how high the upper edge of the pad is above the pillion?
Trying to compare to my current setup. Much appreciated!
