carsh guard and brake fail

[Turbanator]

Hi All, I have a Rocket 3r 2021 and am looking for crash guards/ engine guards/ leg guards to protect myself in case of a fall. Any recommendations or pointers?
Also, I have another question related to brakes. I rode for ~50 miles, came home and immediately sprayed water to clean the bike. The bike was very hot obviously. After a few hrs, I tried to ride but the rear brakes don't work. The front brakes work though. The reason could be that air bled into the pipe or brake disc may need cleaning. what could be the common cause of such brake failure? is there something I can do at home to correct that?

Typical Triumph endemic to the model problem

Rear brake failure is a standing problem with the newer gen Rockets and Triumph refuses to fix the problem. They put Band-Aids on it and pat you on the ass and say see ya in a few months. After having mine bled 3 times the rear brake is about 75% of what it was from the last bleed and I haven't put that many miles on my Rocket lately. It still works fine but the play is no where near the 'stiffness' of the brake after the bleed. I figure in 6 months I will be in for my 4th bleed. I use very little rear brake maybe 10% while stopping and very little trailing on turns. It's like I'm changing the way I ride to keep the rear brake out of the equation. Take the Rocket in for it's first of many rear brake bleeds Mr. Turbanator. To be fair there are a number who don't have the rear brake problem but if you have it then you will continue to have it. I hope I'm wrong. Cheers?

some people and triumph dealers have fixed rear brake with new brake line from abs to shaft.

I'm being a little ******ety. I love my Rocket although the rear brake problem is a nuisance. I'm one of the few that has ongoing problems with it. I have to say I took my Rocket out on the backroads and rode a little hard on an 87 degree day a few days ago and it still is holding up. Third time a charm? Fingers crossed.

So ******ety as in a 'bad mood and old' is a bad word? Is it ****** or ety? Both? I guess it's ******. I'll just say above my Penis and below my belly button.
