    Maybe Tribal can chip in if he's still around?

    Suggestions for rear darkside

    Although I understand people's doubting of using a CT on the Rocket and each to his own..... I've run a CT for over 150,000 miles on two different Rockets (05 and 08) and have never had a wobble or any other issue other than more input required. I find a CT with good grip more stable in turns...

    Giving up

    I don't get this. I've got an 04 Speedmaster, an 05 Rocket and an 08 Rocket. A total of 240K miles and not a problem with any of them. All are ridden hard and all I've done is regular maintenance with no issues.

    Speedometer not working, all lights on in that clock

    Hi everyone! Does anyone know if this issue was resolved? My 08 has the exact same problem. No needle sweep on the speedo and the check engine, oil pressure and coolant temp indicators are on. The tach sweeps and seems fine. Thanks in advance! R3d

    Low idle

    Both my Rockets have done that and it was the TPS.

    Worldwide High Mileage Rocket III 50K & 100K Club Listing

    Oops. My mistake. I meant to say 2013. Also, I don't think my bike should really count because as stated, the speedo works intermittently and so I'm going by history on the miles. Approximate mileage doesn't count. On a different note my 05 looks like hell right now. When I got the 08 it was...

    Worldwide High Mileage Rocket III 50K & 100K Club Listing

    I'm not certain when I passed 100k. It had to have been around 2003? At the time I worked for a manufacturer that was 86 miles from my house. It was almost all interstate so I rode almost every day from March to the end of November for a couple of years. My commute before that was 43 miles...

    Worldwide High Mileage Rocket III 50K & 100K Club Listing

    Count me in! 05 with 210,000 and still running well, however, the bevel box looses it's oil. Also, three TPS and a clutch cable. The speedo dies intermittently which started at 100k. Also have an 08 with 67k and if it weren't for the dang deer the only thing he'd have needed would be one...

    2016 YouTube video. MOST RIII I've seen so far. Which one is your favorite?

    Hey! How come nobody else's Triumph bags looks weathered and crappy like mine! Mine are horrible!

    A specific speedometer issue...911

    I feel your pain. I also have an 05 and my speedo died at 100k but mine was different. I get no needle sweep but the lights do work. I'd agree with your idea that it must be a code. My odo still shows a number and sometimes adds miles but maybe 1 out of 100. 911 must be a code. Once or twice...

    Darkside converted.....

    I like your logic about the bike tires not passing the passenger car tire test. I must say that after putting 190K miles on various car tires on the back of my Rockets there is no arguing in my house about the use of a CT for those of us who ride lots of miles. In the past I've used Toyo...

    OK. I've had a little time to check things out on my 08 Rocket. No plugged fuel filter, no exhaust restrictions, no intake restrictions. I don't have the wherewithal to check the tune myself but I may take a ride to a dealer and have them check for me. I'll let you guys know if anything if...

    Actually it seems 2005 was a good year. My 05 has been a great bike. Other than replacing the TPS a couple of times and one clutch cable it hasn't had any issues other than normal wear and tear. It has been run hard most of those miles and that's the reason why I bought another. I'll check...

    I haven't posted much..... well maybe only once before but I need to know. My older Rocket is an 05 with between 190k and 200k miles on it. Still runs great and other than not having 4th gear for the last couple of years is still a great and dependable bike. My "new" one is an 08 I found last...

    Wanting to test the waters of the darkside.

    I dunno guys. Seems to me the Rocket drags pegs way easy on either mt or ds. I prefer the ds and ride a lot of corners and high speed sweepers every day. But that's just my 2 cents....probably not worth a dime.

    Welcome!!!

    Hello All. I'm living in the beautiful lake country of Central Minnesota. I ride a 2005 Rocket and my wife rides a 2004 Speedmaster. I handed it down to her after buying my Rocket in 2007 and added a few mods to make her comfortable. I love my Rocket and have about 130,000 miles riding the...
