Just took delivery of my R3 std on Friday. I did Jardines and Fly Screen right away...man is this bike a blast to ride. I've test rode them before but extended rides really highlight the abilities of this bike. I was going to buy a 09 Vmax...glad I did not. At 6'4" the Rocket fits like a...
Checking to see if anybody knows if parts of a rocket 3 cruiser will fit on a (plain) rocket 3 . They look the same to me accept for all the add-ons ie saddle bags , sissybars ect. The reason im asking is i have a chance to buy a seat ,sissybar,and rack but its all off a cruiser and i dint know...
Looking at getting a corbin duel touring seat. For those who have them or had them what are the pros and cons. What material should you get leather or vinyl? Still up in the air on the back rest, pretty pricey. Please post pictures of the seat on your Rocket if you have them.
Finally got the bike the way I want it. I've got the Triumph 7" taller windscreen, Brakeway Cruise Control, Heated Grips, Custome seat by Mr. Ed's Moto Mr. Eds Moto: Mr. Ed's Moto - Accessories for Motorcycling or 541-791-5142, & a huge Shad top trunk that holds two large full face helmets for...
I am debating about what seat to invest in, right now i have the Triumph Rocket III Touring Gel Seat - Dual, A9701141 but it's not comfortable, even worse for the passenger, i have been thinking about 3 choices but not sure which one to decide on, the first choice and the least expensive would...
Got this seat for my b- day. It sure changes the look of this bike..got my bagger look go'n on. I know y'all have seen a Rock with a solo seat before...but I'm bored, so here ya go. In 10 days I won't be so bored. I'll be riding through Tx, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. Can't hardly wait!:D
A few weeks ago I had Sargents in Jacksonville modify my seat. They did exactly what I asked them to; level off the passenger pillion, raise my surface about an inch and a half, move the crease back, recover it with cording. The intended purpose was to allow me to move back a little. I didn't...
Thinking of getting the Triumph passenger gel seat to replace the standard pillon. Any experience with the comfort of this seat? Is it hard to install? Money aside, is it better to get the 1 piece rider and passenger Triumph gel seat for the standard Rocket? Will the standard saddle clash with...
I have the quick release backrest and luggage rack on my R3T. If I purchase the solo seat and luggage rack (that fits where the pillion seat goes) must I remove or change the mounting hardware for my quick release backrest? Put another way, can I easily swap between the solo seat, luggage rack...
First off I want to give a late thanks to HeR3tic for his instructions on getting the seat off. Now before he gets a swelled head...the instructions he gave did not work in my case...but they did lead me to another solution.
What I did was approach getting the seat off from the other side. I...
I had the wife drop the seat off at Sargent's (downtown Jacksonville) this morning on her way to work. Now the bike's apart in the garage until Friday night and it's killing me. Today, 68 and sunny. It's perfect bike weather in North Florida.
I looked at Russell, Corbin and Triumph, (longhaul...
I had an appointment to get a custom saddle for my 2008 R3T this morning. Mother Nature had other ideas though as it snowed early this morning, about one inch. It might as well been two feet as far as I'm concerned. I've been on the ground sliding behind my bike in 1/8" of powder so I didn't...
I'm looking for an optional seat that offers more comfort for my wife and I. We rode a couple of hundred miles yesterday. Near the end of the ride she started complaining of discomfort. She wants a new seat that's wider. The Triumph web site has a Longhaul Touring Seat with a rider's seat...
I installed a solo seat and rider backrest on Rosie last night. I can't wait to give her a test run with it. It appears to be a bit more plush than stock and I was perfectly happy with the stock seat. I mainly just like the look of a solo seat. I also another motive. I ride with a fairly...
This is the chrome rack that fits over the rear fender when using the solo seat. Will this rack work with the quick disconnect docking station? I have a quick disconnect back rest for when my wife rides, but would like to go to the solo seat and rack when it's just me.
Well... I just ordered one for my '07 R3C Tourer. Any bits of wisdom I might glean from our wonderful membership? It should be done just in time for my arrival back home (bit less than three weeks).
