Stopped by at my Buds Triumph dealership yesterday to wish them all happy holidays. Saw 2 T-Birds on the floor so i climbed aboard. Nice looking ride but the seat,,,, Oh my God, like sitting on a brick. Guess it to get you to buy the Gel seat they offer. Anyhow, wouldn't want to go long on the...
I am still using the under seat air filter. I will be installing a Corbin Rumble seat. Aftermarket seat pans (including Corbin) do not have the nifty air intakes built in...is this an issue.
I am considering going to triple K&N's under the bear claw...how difficult is this project?
D&D's K&N underseat w/duct removed.
Which would the best starting tune for this setup? I have the
1 20050DyonFinalMap_TOR_CatBypass now but the plugs were reading lean before I put the K&N in. Bike has power and idles after the new TPS. Now I need to start fine tuning. Thanks. kcc11
Hi does anyone out there no of a good motorcycle seat upholsterer. I have recently purchased my first Rocket iii Classic and would like to customise seat with a brown hide look!! Any ideas? Teds1 from the UK.
I just got back from a ride on the new seats. A few things I've noticed so far.....
1. If you have the quick release sissy bar, it will be **** hard to put in on or take it off with this new seat. It's much wider than the stock / long haul.
2. The wings on the sides are a bit uncomfortable...
Has anyone tried the optional gel seat for the R3T? Just wondering if it is an improvemetn over the stock seat or what. The stock seat seems OK but also seems cheaply made compared to the classic touring seat I had on my old R3.
Not sure if upgrading to the gel seat is really worth it.
So I've only been the proud owner of a new R3 standard for about a week now. Man am I having a blast. I took delvery at the dealer and the rear seat was not installed. They showed it on the floor this way and omitted the re-install of it when I picked it up.
I have now picked it up and just...
Just took delivery of my R3 std on Friday. I did Jardines and Fly Screen right away...man is this bike a blast to ride. I've test rode them before but extended rides really highlight the abilities of this bike. I was going to buy a 09 Vmax...glad I did not. At 6'4" the Rocket fits like a...
Checking to see if anybody knows if parts of a rocket 3 cruiser will fit on a (plain) rocket 3 . They look the same to me accept for all the add-ons ie saddle bags , sissybars ect. The reason im asking is i have a chance to buy a seat ,sissybar,and rack but its all off a cruiser and i dint know...
Looking at getting a corbin duel touring seat. For those who have them or had them what are the pros and cons. What material should you get leather or vinyl? Still up in the air on the back rest, pretty pricey. Please post pictures of the seat on your Rocket if you have them.
Finally got the bike the way I want it. I've got the Triumph 7" taller windscreen, Brakeway Cruise Control, Heated Grips, Custome seat by Mr. Ed's Moto Mr. Eds Moto: Mr. Ed's Moto - Accessories for Motorcycling or 541-791-5142, & a huge Shad top trunk that holds two large full face helmets for...
I am debating about what seat to invest in, right now i have the Triumph Rocket III Touring Gel Seat - Dual, A9701141 but it's not comfortable, even worse for the passenger, i have been thinking about 3 choices but not sure which one to decide on, the first choice and the least expensive would...
Got this seat for my b- day. It sure changes the look of this bike..got my bagger look go'n on. I know y'all have seen a Rock with a solo seat before...but I'm bored, so here ya go. In 10 days I won't be so bored. I'll be riding through Tx, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. Can't hardly wait!:D
A few weeks ago I had Sargents in Jacksonville modify my seat. They did exactly what I asked them to; level off the passenger pillion, raise my surface about an inch and a half, move the crease back, recover it with cording. The intended purpose was to allow me to move back a little. I didn't...
Thinking of getting the Triumph passenger gel seat to replace the standard pillon. Any experience with the comfort of this seat? Is it hard to install? Money aside, is it better to get the 1 piece rider and passenger Triumph gel seat for the standard Rocket? Will the standard saddle clash with...
I have the quick release backrest and luggage rack on my R3T. If I purchase the solo seat and luggage rack (that fits where the pillion seat goes) must I remove or change the mounting hardware for my quick release backrest? Put another way, can I easily swap between the solo seat, luggage rack...
First off I want to give a late thanks to HeR3tic for his instructions on getting the seat off. Now before he gets a swelled head...the instructions he gave did not work in my case...but they did lead me to another solution.
What I did was approach getting the seat off from the other side. I...
