    For Sale SOLD - Corbin Gunfighter Saddle for 2020+ Rocket 3

    Hi all, Selling my Corbin seat, it’s in like new condition, only used it for 500-600 miles. I forgot to take the aluminum trim off the Corbin when I put the stock seat back on to sell the bike, so they are included with this Corbin seat (see pic below). I’m including a picture of the original...

    Had to let the Rocket go, my license is grateful!

    I’m in Oregon, and depending on where you’re at, the officers can be chill or ruthless, really depending on the city your riding through. I think the issue was for me was that the rocket is deceiving in the power and speed, I’d be in 3rd, thinking I was cruising at 45-50, and I’m actually doing...

    Had to let the Rocket go, my license is grateful!

    Yeah, the only model in the new lineup I was interested in was the 101, dual brembos up front, single brembo in the back, fully adjustable suspension, and I agree it’s a very flickable bike for 550 lbs. you aren’t going to ride two up on a scout, but I do believe it’s a much better platform...

    Had to let the Rocket go, my license is grateful!

    I’ve ridden a multitude of Ducati 1100 and 1200 bikes, some air cooled, some water cooled, I feel like the scout 101 closely relates to my old Monster 1100 Evo, except that the scout pulls hard from 3k to almost 9k, where the monster was only good in the 3-6.5k range. The ergos definitely need...

    Had to let the Rocket go, my license is grateful!

    Hi all Well, after six months, and three close calls with law enforcement, I came to the decision that the torque of the Rocket 3 was just too tempting for me, and for the longevity of my license, it was time to let her go lol! Back when I bought the R3, I had a very short list I was...

    No difference in seat height for me, my feet land just like before with the stock seat 👍

    Corbin Gunfighter Seat

    Few months ago, I did a good 5+ hr ride with the stock gt seat, I hurt for days afterwards… got my Corbin 2 weeks ago, did a 11 hr outing, 7 hrs in the seat, felt great… still had to get off the bike every few hours, but that’s fine. My seating area is leather, rest is a combo of different...

    Alternative to Factory Panniers

    I debated this route, they had the chrome mounts, and you could add any bag you wanted, figured if I couldn’t modify the factory brackets, I would just return them and go this way, thanks for sharing pictures, glad to see it works well for you!

    Alternative to Factory Panniers

    Hi @Jay , It all unscrews with a combination of Allen keys and torx bits. I studied the pictures before I ordered the brackets, and took a chance. They are held in with red lock tight so I was just careful in removing them. The two upper ones are structural, so the “back” pin used to lock the...

    Alternative to Factory Panniers

    Hello all, thought I would share this. I’ve had my rocket for a few weeks now, initially got a small tank bag, and decided that I wanted saddle bags, but not the factory bags. Nothing wrong with them, except since i have the chrome tank, they would look a little strange, and I wanted more...

    2023 R3 GT Trying to dress out for long Haul rides >> HELP !!!

    Hi Russ, funny, we both picked up our new rockets on the same day, congrats!! I’ve been doing some digging as well. I read the installation instructions for both the Oem saddle bags, and for the Hepco & Becker ones. With the oem, you get a new splash guard for the underside of the tail section...

    Greetings from Oregon

    Hi all, Just wanted to take a moment to say hello, and share my new acquisition. After sixteen years of Ducati ownerships, I’m finally part of the Triumph family! Sadly being in Oregon, it’s been raining since I brought her home, but next Thursday/Friday are looking good for riding!
