    Flooded...

    Flooded...No, I don’t mean flooded with gas...I got home from work today to find my temporary home flooded along with my ‘07 Classic which had been parked outside with a covering over it. I don’t know for sure how high the waters got, but a neighbor shared with me that the bike was at least...

    The foam rubber washers on my gear shift lever armature rotted out...dust and debris was starting to get inside the socket housings on both ends thereby making my shifting considerably less smooth as it should be. In the effort of keeping everything on my bike genuine Triumph parts, I went to a...

    Clock installation

    After looking around for a long time, I finally found a clock. Has anyone installed one of these? It looks fairly simple, but my question is do you have to lift the tank, or can the wire be snaked through without lifting it. Any tips, diagrams, directions, pics from anyone who has done this...

    Got a buddy thinking about getting a...?

    I have a good friend that has been wanting to get a bike for a little while, he really likes my '07 Classic, but he thought the Rocket might be too much bike and like many people he wants that H-D logo on his bike. At one point he narrowed his search down to the H-D Fat Bob, the Triumph...

    Cheap alternative to Gopro

    I modified a broken otterbox by attaching it to a RAM mounting system inside my windscreen. I originally intended to keep my iPhone mounted so I could see if someone was trying to call during rides, and also to make use of the maps app as a GPS alternative. After using it that way for a while...

    Steel mesh clutch and throttle cables

    I need to replace my clutch cable and was thinking about switching to steel mesh cables. I asked a local Triumph tech about it and he said he looked into that possibility for a custom Rocket about a year ago, but could not find a resource specifically for Rockets. Has anyone made the switch...

    How tall y'all

    Just picked up the September issue of "Motorcycle Cruiser" magazine which had an article on power cruisers including the new Rocket III Roadster vs the Ducati Diavel, the H-D Night Rod and the Yamaha Star VMAX. The author and 3 other test riders tried them all for comparison. As you might have...

    Helmet project

    Helmets finished! I had these two old hand-me-down helmets that were still in good working condition, but kind of scratched and nicked up a little. I decided to try to paint them to match my Rocket... I stripped them down, masked them and sanded them... Then I hit them with...

An agreement was made, I had the cash in my hand, shook hands on the deal, and the guy had to drive home to...
