Interested in any mods that will increase power weight loss and handling. So far. Deltran 480cca loses11 pounds. Removed butterflies from throttle bodies. Power better above 5000 in high gears. Would lie to lose exhaust system weight an a reliable retune to go with it.
Triumph has revealed this special edition version of the Thruxton called the Ace which celebrates the link between the British manufacturer and the famous London café so synonymous with motorcycle history. The new black and white special edition was revealed on Friday at the Ace Café in London...
hey guys this is my triumph ! I came across a Rocket -05 3 years ago. I have a hard time letting things be original, this was no exception. All without frame / wheels / engine is modified to a cool Café Racer. The weight has come down to 290 kg

Hello everyone! As it says I am new to the rocket 3, but owned 2 Daytona's before this one. I figured this would be the best transition from sport to cruiser and still have a blast! I did have a couple of questions I was hope some current riders may know. 1: hard saddlebags that fit the...
Hello folks. I'm a new member, name is Brian. I live in Lexington KY,and currently I am riding a 1982 yamaha virago 920. I have riden many different bikes, for many years, but I have never owned or ridden a Triumph. I was just hoping to get some feedback from you folks about Triumph in general...
Just wondering if anyone has one of these jackets .. what you think of it , and if they are still available in your neck of the woods ? Not had any luck with search for reviews or finding one for sale. Any help/advice be appreciated :thumbsup:
About two and a half months ago I bought an '05 with 6,500 miles on it. Rode it around town and at 8,400 miles I noticed an oil leak coming from where the shaft comes out of the engine. I thought it was the rear main seal but it turned out the final drive seal is the culprit. Bike is still in...

"While the news comes as a surprise to many, it has been met with a positive tone with some of Triumph’s dealers. Heichelbech has been criticized heavily for channel stuffing, and there is some conjecture that Triumph’s yearly sales increases (12 consecutive quarters of growth) happened only on...

How was the experience?
There prices seem good. Anyone have any alternate sites they recommend? Looking to get some OEM stuff. Sissy bar and back pad, highway pegs and mounts.
Thanks!
I have been thinking of getting a leather jacket for some time. I see on the Triumph site they have and used to have some nice jackets but the pricing is top $$$. Whenever there is a clearance posted on the site they never seem to have stock. Has anybody got a good source for buying a Triumph...
RIII Fulfilling the dream!
Hey All, (Booq just mentioned that I haven't introduced myself properly on this forum so here we go:)
I've been lurking in this forum for years. Saw my first Rocket in Southern Italy in 2006 and when I saw it I fell in love. I remember doing a double take and saying...
I like chrome and aluminum. Nothing against roadsters but at some point down the road my rocket is going to wear out. My only choices are going to be slim. A roadster or someone else's older R3. Old bikes go to hell whether you ride them or not. Things rust, rubber dries out, electrical...
