  1. radiator trim

    Hello: When I bought my Rocket 3 Touring it came with the plastic chrome trim on both sides and the top of the radiator. I noticed the trim on the top was a bit loose. Is there a way to tighten it or should I glue it? Thanks for any info, jkm789

  2. passenger floorboards relocation

    Howdy - I wanted to do same thing but ended up moving wife back about 2 inches and up about one inch by having new sissy bar made and passenger seat ( long haul) thickened by about 1.5 inches. Sissy bar made of stainless and buffed - looks as good as chrome. See my post from Nov 27/13 "lowering...

  3. competition for Rocket 3??

    Guys - check out A new 2014 1832cc flat 6 Honda Valkyrie. No mention of hp or torque. It will be interesting to see how well it is received. Do ya think this puppy will give our Rockets a run for its money? And by the way, Merry Christmas from Nova Scotia, Canada and all the best for 2014.

  4. Trunk?

    Howdy: I bought one of those a while back from the same company.

  7. R3T vibration

    Hi - Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. The bike is a 2010 with about 11k miles. I have located a retired Triumph mechanic who says he is familiar with some of the vibration problems that myself and others are having. He will help me to download and install TuneECU. I will also follow up...

  8. R3T vibration

    Hello - I recently bought my first R3T - awesome bike. I have noticed a fair bit of vibration when I accelerate either quickly or slowly (how do you accelerate slowly on a Rocket?) I know this has been discussed before but it was unclear to me if this is a constant vibration or only happens at...

  9. lowering passenger boards

    Howdy: Looking to buy my first Rocket 3 Touring. Took one for a ride and am hooked. However, my wife found the passenger seating a tad cramped (long legs). Checked on line but could not find any floorboard lowering kit for Touring model. Any suggestions - other than a new bike and shorter wife...
