Does anybody know what size an 05 rocket would take.

I would like someone @Ishrub ??? to post the real deal(s) here.

I ordered from the early post, and if that's wrong it doesn't belong here and I'll clean up the thread.

Thank you.

Already covered matey in earlier posts but I think only a very few that fit are, or state 'stainless' which I am sure they would if it was.

So were they correct fitment? I Imagine you can use short or long but the long is specified for all modern Triumphs besides the 955 Tiger as I suppose shorter ones are less exposed offroad. I doubt they have updated the parts listing since the range of 800 and 1200 Tigers came out. Same for ABS as There must be more than required like their listing details for the BMWs.

Glad you inquired, Ish as I had forgotten to respond.
They are quite a bit longer in size, but they and OEM the rubber caps fit perfectly.
I even have a spare now . . .

Thanks, SB8125LL , that may be the 'LL' rather than 'L' meaning extra long.

I have figured it out the single 'L' is for long nipple, the 'LL' is for Long nipple AND long stem from thread to hex nut. As these are fairly thin walled that may increase possibility of shearing it with a knock and if it gets a little seized or over tightened.

I read a a great review that said YOU MUST spray a little WD40 in the nipple after use and MUST recap with the rubber cap. Otherwise they quickly corrode inside due to the hygroscopic effect of brake fluid. Once jammed or seized they may still turn a quarter thread but nothing will emerge when brake pumped. If corrosion is bad they will seize in threads and due to thin walls will easily shear, same with over tightening without any corrosion. Then it is Easy Out time.
