tour

Sorry I have been gone a long time from this forum (was on the Thunderbird forum's for awhile...as I owned a 1700 Thunderbird up to May last year) but as, hopefully, my "experiment" with finally owning a Harley (have a 2012 Road Glide Ultra) winds down I am hoping to return to the world of...

Just swapped the Classic for a Touring. The ride feels a lot smoother. Following a route that I do often on some real bumpy roads, on small unevenness the Tourer glides over the bumps, compared with the Classic, on the larger sunken manhole covers the "bump" was not so hard, but felt softer...

I have been reading about different top boxes on the touring model. I am in the process of fitting a honda goldwing GL 1100 top box to my rocket, I think its a 1981 model top box. I have fitted the box to the bike but have now removed it for painting, the box fits the bike well and I have...

Has anyone tried putting a smaller front tire on the Rocket Touring, if so how did it work out, thanks, Tim

Just ad a nice 441 mile ride today down to Triumph Detroit. I had ordered a Long Haul seat and went down to pick it up. This is the new model, not like the normal one piece seat on te Touring. It is now a two piece rider amd passenger seat. And the rider backrest is still separate order...

Ok so called the dealer up about the rims on the bike just over a year old and they are starting to pit I keep them pretty clean and in a heated garage he said that's just what they do so I road down to the dealer they looked at them had a tech try cleaning them for about 30 min that was fun to...

What tire pressure are those of you using the excedra max on a touring using? Mounting mine now.

I just bought a r3 tourer from my best friend and was thinking about putting a trunk and back rest combo on it. Has anyone seen on managed to put either a Harley or Goldwing on the rocket .

Help me out guys. Hate to start a new thread but I'm kind of in a hurry between taking care of the wife and work and all. I think I might actually get to make the Maggie Valley trip. Maybe. Problem is, I have 10,000 miles on the oil and can't get to the dealer in time to get it taken care of. I...

I am going to get a car tire for my rear, I am thinking 205/60/16, when my Avon motorcycle tire wears out. Anyone like their particular rear car tire that they would like to recommend. On my front I presently have the recommended Metzler 880, but I don't like the way it handles, the problem...

I got tired of waiting for someone else to be the guinea pig on the 1770s, a set came up cheap here and I bought them. The angled flange lets them clear the tank. I may play with the angles some, but not much room over the back one to fit even a cut bear claw, but we shall see. Overflow tank...

I have owned my 09 Rocket for a little over a week now and it is my favorite bike ever. I like the fact that it is the easiest bike I have ever owned to work on. Triumph is so much easier to work on than the Japanese bikes. I couldn't believe how easy it was to remove the front tire, windshield...

I bought a set of Classic bars on the site here, I never liked the extreme angle my hands intersected the bars at, and put them on my Touring. Going down the road, I'm in heaven, my arms are fully extended, and much more straight to the bars. The thing is, about 15 miles into the maiden...

Evenin all, I'm trying to work out what swing arm to use for my reverse-trike project. I want to run an obscenely large rear wheel, so the engine will be getting offset and the swing arm I use will be getting chopped up and widened. Here's where it gets a bit confusing (for me... :D)...

I've read several commits on steering shake or what some call wobble and I have experienced it on different bikes over the years. But what I'm experiencing is different. My wobble doesn't start until I reach approximately 110 MPH. It starts as a wobble then the bike seems to want to weave...

Hi all. I am a veteran bike rider of 47 years experience and about 25-30 bikes. I live 70 miles north of Dallas. I just sold my 06 Stratoliner (nice bike), and now am looking forward to getting the 09 Rocket touring in about 3 weeks. Are there any differences between 2008-2013 touring models...

I am getting Rocket Tourer and will be going to car tire when motorcycle tire wears out. What size tire with the tourer handle without problems

I just sold my Yamaha Stratoliner and am getting 2010 Rocket Tourer from Dave in St Louis. Dave is going to meet me half way but can't meet me till late in April, I live north of Dallas. I am wanting to find out all I can about the bike while I am waiting.

Hello All-I am right on the verge of buying a 2010 RIII Roadster-one of my issues is that i eventually, closer to retirement, want to set it up for touring. The MC shop of course sez "No Problem!" Is setting this bike up for touring going to be a major project? Should i wait until I come across...
