This Rocket 3 GT is fantastic but the rear shock absorber... It was exactly the same with my previous Rocket 3 in 2007. As I cannot change or adjust softer the shock absorber, I looked how to improve the comfort of the saddle. CORBIN offers a dual saddle with expected better comfort for rider...

If someone coughs up the 1100+ bucks for the slip-on, could you please post some pics and sound clips. It's tough to shell out the dough without much info, their website wasn't much help. Was wonder what kind of baffling if any, was in the cans. Thanks in advance

My first Rocket 2.3 - 2007 candy red with painted design. My new Rocket 2.5 -2020 candy red, done by same "artist" plus hydro dipping. Target: 2 tones classic paint when the bike is seen 10 feet away and a lot of details when we are close to the bike. I got the R3 three days ago and...

Hi everyone! Just picked up a Rocket 3 TFC last night. It's my 2nd Triumph ever. Prevously I had a 2012 Tiger Explorer, but that bike died in a ditch in Mexico (full story requires beers). I'm mostly interested in service and maintenance tips/tricks/advice, and product reviews. There's a...

Added the Givi trunk to complete the travel kit/luggage for the GT. I ordered the Givi Trunk, along with backrest and the mounting plate. This was attached to the factory tail rack accessory that I recently purchased from Triumph. The mounting plate for the Givi was real easy to accomodate...

[EDIT: Saw someone else here was a Patton aficionado, so changed the avatar to one of my puppies.] Hello from Middle Tennessee! I think either a new 2020 or 2021 (bought next year, most likely) R model is in my future, especially if they offer the matte khaki green, competition green or tribal...

Just purchased my GT, however my pillion is not impressed with her seat. Went into local dealer today and the comfort pillion seat is only compatible with sport seat on the R. Has anyone found another larger more comfortable pillion seat. I have been in contact with Corbin but that is going to...

Hello, new here. Thinking about buying a 2005 up to 2011 R3. I see some issues like paint can rattle noise and other issues like lower timing chain etc. Have these issues been taken care of? I see some post from 2007, so I would think that maybe some older bikes like 05 might still have the...

I recently purchased an accident damaged 2004 Rocket 3. The battery had been disconnected. I charged it up and I was expecting some indication of life upon turning the key. Sadly everything was dead. My first thought was that perhaps something needed resetting, because the battery had been...

Finally got the quick shifter installed on my GT today. Very impressed, definitely worth the money! Took the dealer about 90 minutes to install and program.

Hello, for the past couple years I haven't been riding as much due to a leaking front fork seal. I have been cranking her up regularly and riding up and down the local road on short trips. Now the FIRST time ever, I had trouble cranking her up, and when it did, it was a struggle to keep the...

When I was ordering my bags yesterday, the service guy came out to tell me a few things on the new bike. He said many people complain about hard starting. Said leave the on off switch ON all the time. Factory told him to tell everyone this, as turning it off causes problems with breaking the...

2017 R3 Roadster. Florida to Maine trip last year.

Factory Triumph rider's backrest A9708160 with custom made R3 Roadster Solo seat mount. Utopia do a similar bracket mount for their backrest but it still requires the pillion seat bracket to be fitted. The beauty of this one is you can use the same rider's backrest for your R3 Roadster Solo...

Greetings from Canada! Will update my profile shortly...... Glad to join and be a part of the R3 community! I've scoured through the forum but still need some advice before wasting any dough. Have an '08 R3 Roadster, mint condition and meticulously maintained with 26,000 Kms on her...

Well it's 2020 and my new 2020 Rocket 3 GT is downstairs in the underground parking lot of my condo, where its been since February. For context, I live in Toronto and it's 3C out today (18-APRIL). Double digit temperatures are not expected until mid-May (hoping for sooner but that's the...

Having successfully removed the battery and trickled charged it for 2 continuous days , I am now under confusion regarding wiring . There are two black wires along with earthing cable that connect to negative terminal and a red wire plug that connects to the positive terminal along with earthing...

Hi Gang, Been awhile. I am seriously considering getting a new R3GT. The one I am going to look at has heated grips, cruise. No quickshifter. I would be trading my 2020 BMW R1250RS Exclusive. I love the beemer, but I miss having a cruiser. I have a 2016 Honda Repsol 1000RR as well, so I...

Hey fellow Rocket riders, got a new problem I need some help with. One of my new panniers won't unlock now that I put in my own code to open it. Put the same code into both bags, followed the instructions and both seemed fine. Now my right bag won't open and won't let me reset it to enter a new...
