2021 rocket3 GT
Installed the three KN filters removed the secondaries powder coated the jardines the headlight pots installed the PC8 and the headlight relayput on progressive 418's did the 12 mn tune and I do believe the 20145 tune is loaded we will see when I hook up the cable ,unfortunately I have found a job,, rather a job found me so I will be gone for three months before I can ride and tweak the tune. I am thinking of getting the dobeck fuel gizmo for that
here is the picture of the filters with original Bear claw if somebody sell me another one I will modify it by drilling 1/4 inch holes in rows in front of the filters on the bulging area only.
after that next winter a carpenter kit maybe?

I kinda like the mad dog side covers. First I was like, why did Patrick show a picture of that paint spill down his bike?
 
yeah you are right it looks like paint drip .. I should have mentioned filled in the recess in the side panel bought the scorched yellow paint from triumph and applied the paint drip ..I mean the dark dog ..logo of the energized drink sold near you.
kind break the monotony of the yellow

anybody got a bear claw for sale!!!!
 
did you notice the difference between the left and right side dog??

the left pooped once the right side dog twice..see for yourself

you have keen eyes so did you see the red switch on left side right behind the dog who pooped once only .. it is the headlight switch..

Those Progressive shocks look like 430 series rather than 418's.

I like the yellow, Triumph should offer more colors like that from the factory.

do not know what that stuff i drink does to me you are right of course 430.. they came in a 418 box figure!!
 

I did notice the differences in pooping, lol. Nice switch hide.
 
Corn squeezin's will do that .... lol

I checked the site just now and see that 418's are no more. They only have three options for the R3, 412, 430 and 440. That sucks, I really like my 418's over the 440's I rode on for a week. It looks like they don't have anything now with adjustable damping.
Bummer.

How do you like those 430's?

Really like the black treatments; sets off the colour beautifully. I've also considered drilling holes in the b/c but leaning towards cutting. Will be interested to see yours if/when you do it.
 


they look good but I have no ideas as to the ride.
bought them this winter and since alberta is snowbound till 15 of april the beast stayed in the garage but snow started to melt today however I go away next week my luck!! so I will tell you in august when I come back (if I come back)
