    Pic of powder coated sissy bar

    Had an hour this afternoon so I put the bar and rack on. I'm on the fence if I like the look of the tall sissy bar, but the wife sat on the back and gave it a two thumbs up.

    Front end fixing kit, tall sissy bar, luggage rack and Triumph engine guard's all dropped off today to be powder coated satin black. I had a roadster windshield sitting in my basement from my last rocket but the blade itself was so scratched it was un usable. I ordered a new acrylic windshield...

    Has anyone cut down the tall sissy bar?

    I ordered the tall sissy bar/luggage rack for my 14' R3R and should be here tomorrow. I couldn't decide on the tall or short so figured I'd buy the tall and cut it down if it didn't work for me. Has anyone cut/shortened the Triumph sissy bar? I don't have a lot of metal working tools so was...

    Trying to figure out accessories for my new bike

    I was wondering if anyone had a pic of a '14 Roadster with the short Triumph sissy bar. I've searched the net and can't find any pics. I'd like to see what the Triumph chrome sissy bar looks like when mounted to the blacked out fender rails.

    Did it! Bought 2014 Roadster

    I was on the fence about trading my '13 Victory Vegas for a Roadster. Pulled the trigger 3 days ago and loving it. I owned a 2007 Rocket III that ended in a catastrophic engine failure out of warranty so I went over to Victory. The Vegas is a nice bike but its no Rocket. I have to say that...

    Returning captain... maybe!

    Back on the site saying hello. Haven't been around for about 2 years. I had a major engine failure on my 07 Rocket that turned out to be a nightmare. After that I decided to try something different so I bought a 2013 Victory Vegas that I'm currently riding. The Vegas 8 ball is a nice bike...

    Catasrophic failure

    Thanks to JRHorton I found a reputable dealer to check out my bike. (Thank you JR!) Bad news is... they''ve seen this similar problem about 6 times in recent years... It'll cost $1000 to open the case and diagnose exactly what happened. If I proceed with the repair thats a part of the cost...

    Bar end mirrors

    Anybody ever try bar end mirrors on their Rock? I was at the Dealer last week and saw the Triumph bar end mirrors on the 09 Thruxton and thought they might look cool on the Rocket. Kinda look like Napoleon bar end mirrors but with a nicer finish.

    rubber o-ring on drain plug question

    When I pulled the oil tank drain plug, what looked like the remains of a rubber o-ring fell into the strainer. I pulled the 2 sump drain plugs and didn't see anything like that. Can someone tell me if there is only an o-ring for the oil tank drain plug and not the 2 sump drains? Does...

    oil change question

    May be a stupid question to some, but it's my first oil change with the Rocket. Do I need to replace the washers/o-ring from drain plugs or can they be reused. If I have to replace them, are they something I can pick up a local auto parts store or is a trip to the Stealer? :?:

    Spoke to the dealer today to get a price on replacement pads for front and rear. Was gonna order them online but if they're cheap enough I'd buy local so I can do it this weekend. Anyway, the parts person said they needed my VIN # in order to tell me which pads... question is, don't all the...

    Anyone know about a TSB for 07 Rocket

    I dropped off my bike last week at a dealer to have them look at the cold start issue(still pending an outcome). They called me today and said there was a recall for my bike that they were looking into but I don't know what it is... I checked Triumphs website for TSB's using my VIN and it did...

    Bad experience with a Triumph dealer

    I dropped my bike off at my local triumph dealer this evening. I was having the cold starting problem, oil seaping from one of the head bolts and also a coolant leak from an unknown location. My bike is a 2007 with 5k on the odometer. I called them two days ago to ask about a tow. They...

    New to forum and want to buy an R3 but have questions

    Name is Phil. I'm considering buying an R3 but have some questions that are probably better answered by someone other than the Triumph dealer. Hopefully everyone here can help me! I found a 2006 R3 Classic leftover with zero miles. Black and red. The dealer wants $14,299. It does not...
