Hello From Alberta Canada

[Dieselgeek]

Hello there .
New Rocket 3 Roadster owner here . 2012 model 19,xxx kms .
I moderate with DEcosse on T-rat in the Speed Triple forum.
I work as a Senior Master technician for Ford Motor Company . Working on Bikes after that is my way to stay sane .
Until last Wednesday I terrorized the streets with my 06 Speed Triple .
I fitted a TTS supercharger kit , and pioneered the Sprint GT swingarm swap .
I will be making my Rocket my own over time as well . I have spent 3 days stripping off plastidip . Every .Single. chrome part , apart from the ENORMOUS pipes were covered in 'dip.
The rear fender has been chopped and the paint under the 'dip was trashed .
Here are some pics ...

I've just ordered a Ram air . Going to talk to DEcosse about a keyless ignition . I need to ditch these water heater sized pipes . Once I learn to navigate this forum Illfind the right place for exhaust and tune questions . I routinely visit Washington state and there is a place called 2 wheel dyno works that does amazing things with Triumphs .

Welcome Mate from Brisbane Australia.
If you want to relocate your overflow bottle I make these stainless Steel ones (Only have black ones left). Don't need crash bars for it.
Also you might be interested in converting your sissy bar and Saddle bags to Quick Release.

Do the Rockets suffer from the same overflow design flaws as the 1050 Speeds?
