    Alpinestars Boots a no go

    I bought a really nice pair of Alpinestars vented summer boots for the Texas heat and won't be able to wear them on the Rocket. First, they wouldn't fit under the shifter. I adjusted the lever height to three different heights and couldn't shift into the higher gears. I returned the shifter...

    Possible Bridgestone Rear Tire Specifically for 2.5L

    I was at the dealer yesterday getting a software update on my Indian Challenger. While waiting and chatting with the crew I was told Bridgestone may be working on a tire specific to 2.5L bikes. It sure would provide more confidence with additional tire choices. Especially since I purchased a...

    New Fuel Tank

    My bike's fuel tank came with this blemish on top. I brought this to my dealer's attention and the mother ship approved a replacement. The first replacement was held up in customs and came in with a paint chip. After a 6 mos wait the new tank is on and I'm a happy camper. After all the Chrome...

    New Oil Choice

    This looks like a great choice for an oil change. Amazon.com. The standards exceed what the manual calls for. Plus very reasonably priced. Some of the Indian Motorcycle forum members have been buying 5 gal pails for their bikes.

    Rear Wheel Cap Removal

    I need to measure the rear wheel hub diameter for my Rabaconda tire machine. When it comes time I plan to use it to put a new tire on, but may need an adapter to fit the center spindle of the Rababconda. Thanks.

    Oil cap cover

    I removed the left side cover to be able to install my aux power port. Had to pull the oil dipstick. When I put everything back the oil cover wouldn't seat until I turned the dipstick to this position. I thought I was not going to be able to reinstall it at all. Crazy!!

    Greetings from Central Texas

    He y'all, I am new to Triumph and now own a 23 Rocket 3 GT Chrome edition. I still have two Indians and mostly have ridden Honda's. I really enjoy my new bike and being in my early 70's I feel like a hooligan again. Ride safe out there.
