New Rocket Roadster owner in New York

[CholoBigHead]

Hello everyone,

I finally bought a Triumph!! It is a 2014 Triumph Rocket III Roadster. I have been reading some of the threads and plan on reading a lot more. To get started, is there a link where I can download the Service Manual? I read in another thread that Bike Bandit sell one for about $100. I don't mind paying for that, but I want something now so that I can begin doing some maintenance work on the bike.

The bike is stock, and I would like to make some changes. What does everyone recommend as some of the first things to modify?

Also, are there any Rocket riders in New York. I am in Orange County and have only seen 1 or 2 rockets on the roads.

Thanks.

Hi CholoBighead and a warm welcome to the forum from one of the Brits. @idk has the service manual as a download from his name. Search for him and thou shall have a free-bee. As for the mods..you need to ask yourself exactly what it is you want. Once you start, it's only the size of your wallet that'll slow down the process

Welcome from Pennsylvania! Perhaps in the future those of us in the north east will get together for a ride.
Every one is different but the first item I added was a dresser or crash bar, helps protect the bike, makes it easier to stand up and gives a great location for highway pegs.
If you are going to carry a passenger a sissy bar with luggage rack might help keep the passenger on the bike when you twist the throttle.
