    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. Any advice on emptying the old oil and refilling....to match other fork. If full compression is required...are there any tricks...

    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...

    Progressive Fork spring Install (revisited)

    Hi all, was all set to do my Progressive fork spring install today. There was a really nice tutorial on the .com site (which is still down). Does anybody have a copy of that procedure on their computer they could send to me ? I have the special tools (on loan, thanks Navigator) but would feel...

    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...

    Fork oil

    I am putting together a little cheat sheet , along with services done . More or less a log book. I do this on all of my bikes . Not only helps to keep track of what has been done & when , but is very helpful when I get ready to sell. I found the portion on Fork Oil;. Say it is SAE 0 weight...

    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...

    Is it a bid deal to change? I tried a search about how to change them and came up empty.

  17. Trailer tie down for the R3T forks

    Hello. Just bought my 1st Triumph- R3T 2008. My soft ties won't fit around the triple tree without scuffing the fork chrome covers. Suggestions please. Love the bike, so much like the Valks that I owned previously with much more power. :)

    Wilbers Front Fork Springs

    Dropped Wilbers front fork springs in today, and am very pleased with the new spring rate. I use Wilbers rear shocks that have been re-set for the CF wheel mass by Klaus at Wilbers, but the stock Triumph front fork springs would "sag" in fast sweeping corners. The Wilbers front springs are much...
