    Triumph Rocket 3 340bhp

    Hey, I got them from BST, and I think that by the time they had tires and were mounted, they were close to 6k. Also… I ordered during post Covid supply chain days and it took forever to deliver, 8 months minimum, but I think longer, then the tires took forever and it took a awhile to schedule...

    Triumph Rocket 3 340bhp

    Well, it seems to want to burn out/ slide easier, but i drove it home in the rain and again later below freezing, so friction could be the issue. But the effort for precession and changing direction is much easier, it's much more inclined up lean with little effort. Id recommend, but it took...

    Any places to still get carbon fiber?

    I failed and didn't get the headlight buckets in time after clearly having not learned my lesson about not buying the fenders, radiator cover or under seat fairing in time.... regrets... the wheels are the biz though. I do recommend the wheels. Just wish that i could also get the fenders...

    Triumph Rocket 3 340bhp

    Hey, I just got my carbon wheels on, it's way less stable in a good way, the way that I have less gyroscopic rigidity and the bike is happy to tip and turn. The handling is sooooooo much lighter. It feels like it accelerates easier, suspension might be better feeling, braking is about the...

    Replacing coolant tank with liquor bottle

    The concerns with plastic bottles is whether or not they can survive the heat of the fluid and not just melt. I did consider a metal Stillhouse can, but it's pretty big and won't let you see the volume. I might carry a spare bottle under the seat filled with water for the first several miles

    Replacing coolant tank with liquor bottle

    Well, I attached it with zip ties, and filed it up. Hopefully this does the trick. I expect it to over flow a few times as it finds it's new high/low settings. Hopefully the 200ml cuts it

    Replacing coolant tank with liquor bottle

    A while back I saw a chopper with a Jack Daniels bottle as the overflow tank and decided that I need to do that with the rocket as I’m running with 3 K&Ns and no bearclaw and I hate the look of the tank. So I know that a few of you have replaced with aftermarket tanks, and I know that the volume...

    Any places to still get carbon fiber?

    Hey thank you, unfortunately my rocket is the first generation 2005, and that looked like only the newest generation. I'm hoping to find some that will fit the first gen that are also not discontinued. That's the trick

    Any places to still get carbon fiber?

    Hey, those are some cool things. I'm regretting not buying them years ago when i first saw them. Real unfortunate that they're discontinued. I'm still waiting on my wheels. Kinda wonder if they'll ever show

    Any places to still get carbon fiber?

    I just ordered BST wheels, but I would love fenders and shock guards. All that I can find anymore are inconsequential tiny parts which are otherwise replacing small plastic. Does anybody know where I can still find carbon fiber parts?
