On the newer rockets you can get an easy removable luggage rack.
I went to my local Triumph dealer and he's not sure if it will fit the 05 Rocket because the chrome piece on the fender that it fits onto is a different part number, I just measured and from Center to Center of each bolt is 8 3/4 and the newer ones seem to be 9 3/4.
As any one done this so I can put my trunk on it and take it off easy with a key so I can just have the single seat look when I want.
if any one has done this please share on how they did this.
 
They look nice Mittzy.
Does the
I make these ones
Quick Release Sissy Bar Kit 3rd run
Still have some left @canecorso
They will fit all rockets except the touring model.
Mittzy does the polish look almost like the chrome?
Do you need to loosen all four bolts to take off ? And tighten all four bolts to put back on?
Could I pay extra if you can do one useing a key as a quick release ?
Or make what ever part I need to make Triumph quick release work for my 05 ? They say it only fits the touring
It seems that my fender bolts is 8 1/2 apart and the touring is 9 3/4 so would I just need some bracket that attaches to my front bolt and extent to 9 3/4 ? And my second bolt could bolt the end down securing it?
Could you make me that part?
 
I've a 2013 touring...and mine comes off in a jiffy. Unlock it, lift two hidden levers....heave it forward and up, and there it is! I don't know how different the roadsters fender is with regard to fitting the same thing up. Mittzy's model does look spiffy though!
 
When I bought my Roadster a year ago, I measured the fender width of the fenders because I wanted a removable backrest. The width of the Touring is about 1" narrower than the Roadster (if I recall correctly). I have since bought the Mitzy removable backrest. It works really well and leaves no unsightly bracket behind as the Touring OEM QR does.
 
Short answer is NO WAY I will not be redesigning this bracket and may not even do a forth run. This WILL NOT fit a touring and I have never made anything for a touring model.
This bracket kit only fits the standard, roadster and classic (saddle bag mod may need to be done)
Sorry dude
 
I am so glad this thread is not about prosthetic breasts...
