    Laid it down - Twice!

    I thought it would be a more prestigious club but, sadly, I found out otherwise.

    Laid it down - Twice!

    It runs smooth as silk low or high speed. Coming up to a stop light, or when the vehicles ahead are just starting to go, from a red light, I can balance this bike like it was on a high-wire in the circus. Almost dead stop and still upright. Many years of riding and 2 rider courses, (35 years...

    Laid it down - Twice!

    I can flat foot it, but I would look rather stylish in those. 🤣😂🤣😜

    Laid it down - Twice!

    I was turning left into the parking spot both times. I've never had this happen before.

    Laid it down - Twice!

    Fellow Rocketeers, It is with deep shame that I admit I have laid my R3T down twice in one week. I am completely befuddled as to why? I have been riding, since I was in my teens, 55 yrs. old now, many different bikes, and have never had this happen to me before. Moving only inches in speed, at...

    Another Dark Side

    I just purchased this to mount on the rear of my '14 R3T. Your thoughts? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K8W784K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-NyrFb117AZTW

    Progressive Suspension 444 shocks and fork springs

    Did my '11 Thunderbird 1600 last year and that was smooth sailing. Totally different ride now. Thinking maybe the Rocket could use a bit more preload / longer spacer. Still nose dives a little, when braking, but not anything as bad as it used to.

    Progressive Suspension 444 shocks and fork springs

    I did them myself. Being a former industrial maintenance tech I made sure everything went back in place, filled, measured, torqued, and no leftovers. I've done this, before, to two other bikes, and everything was smooth as silk. I'm stumped.

    Progressive Suspension 444 shocks and fork springs

    I changed both front and rear to progressives. 444's in the rear made a huge difference. I used the OEM spacer as recommended but had to switch to the provided plastic spacer. When I hit large bumps, while riding, I'm getting a banging/rattling noise in the forks. What causes this and how do I...

    Hello from Northern Illinois

    I had no idea that this group existed until I ran across a reference on a FB page. Lucky me! I recently acquired my '14 R3T, 2 months ago, although I'm not new to Triumph. I also have an '11 Thunderbird 1600 ABS. I'm really loving my Rocket. It's more than I could have ever hoped for in a...
