    Fork Oil Advice

    I'm having Progressive springs installed this weekend. Any suggestions on fork oil? Triumph manual suggests 0W in specs section and recommends 5W in the front suspension section. I was thinking maybe going up a tad to a 10W for better handling. Any thoughts?

  4. Upper Fork Diameter

    I know the Rocket 3 has 43mm inverted forks, however NOWHERE can I find the diameter of the upper fork tubes. I am looking at having Custom Dynamics make me some custom wrap-around LED turn signals, and they insist that my tubes (which measure 8.5 in around) are 57mm, but my math puts them...

    Fork seals

    My left fork seal is blown again. I guess I must have helped it along with the uncontrolled wheelies I did right after getting the gipro, but it was seeping even before then. This is the second blown seal, and again it is on the left. Anyone else having trouble with the fork seals? I will...

    Fork Oil

    I just had the seal replaced on my right fork. I'm going to change the oil on the left as the right now has a fresh change. I have the fork off and ready to work on.

    Front forks seem to bottom out alot

    Went to a couple of bike rallies today and those bumps in the highway where water has froze made my teeth chatter a few times. It sounds like they are bottoming out but there has been no leaks. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?

    Fork end lacquer, All Blacks and American football

    My 07 Rocket has got deep scratchmarks in the lacquer of the fork ends. My bike (which is now triked) was previously owned by Marty Holah who was capped by the All Blacks about 50 times - for our US colleagues that's in Rugby - which is like playing American Football without a crash helmet and...

    Rockett III Front Forks Legs Disassembling

    Hi I am in the process of stripping the bike down to have some work done. Part of that work is having the cast front wheel mountings that are located on the lower forks re-polished as the lacquer has started to crack. I have stripped the forks all the way down to the tubes but am unable to...

    Progressive fork spring install

    About to install progressive fork springs, obviously don't have the Triumph special tool to compress the shim. I made the keeper out of sheet steel, so I have that part ready to go. Does anyone have a better idea than 1/4 drive extensions inserted into the shim holes as a substitute for the...

    Changing front fork springs?

    Has anyone tackled changing out their front fork springs? After my last trip of 1200 miles over in Arkansas last weekend. I found my front forks bottoming out on me several times. The Progressive front springs I understand are the choice of most everyone. Is this a project that someone can do...
