Thats what I make out of it also. Of course no cd which could come in handy and if I buy from the dealer I bet I can get a discount which will make the "paper" book no longer attractive. I dont mind paying for quality and a book from triumph is like getting the info from the horses mouth with benefits

The manual pictured looks like it has one of those sliding splines to keep the pages together. It was probably printed in color so it probably looks good as far as the cover goes.

I'd make sure you check with the dealer to make sure you get the R3T manual. I'm inclined to believe that there is a specific manual for that bike. If I ever get one I usually get both versions if available (book and CD).

The one I had on the Triumph is the one that used to be available on this site (maybe it was another site...don't remember...darn that 56th birthday last year. When I get back I'm going to the dealer and pick up the regular manual.

The ebay listing does state color, but the more I look at it the more I think your right about the binding. If I pay $40 + $10 shipping and the binding doesnt hold up Ill be pissed!!!
It looks like I am leaning more towards the dealer and a discount to boot!!

Yours looks about right.

I piked up an official manual from triumph.
Part number 3851160
Issue 1, 09.2007.
Covers the Triumph Rocket III, Rocket III Classic and Rocket III Touring.
Its basically a 4 ring, 3" binder.
Only thing that is colored are the electrical schematics in section 18.

Yeah it kind of does. I dont like to infringe on other peoples right to make money.
Im going to dig into this some more and find out. This manual is apparently not a copy of the cd or form the hardcover book.



hers what the front cover looks like. The guy seems reputable. 100% positive feedback, almost 3400 items sold. But the copyright is important to me. Dont get me wrong, Im not righteous and I dont judge other people for the choices they make. I try to be on the up and up. In this case I am not that cash strapped that I couldnt go buy the $90 manual. One of my issues I have maintained is the grossly overcharging of products by companies. This has caused a mess in the US and retailers still are hesitant to drop prices. SO a conuundrum of sorts has developed. Guess me and my conscience has a date!!!

No judgment to a buyer, just pointing that fact out in case you don't know.. I personally take issue with those that profit by "liberating" someone else's work.. These guys at least produce a nice bound product, most just burn you a CD and mail it (with a password so you don't "steal it" by passing it around to others..

The way I look at it, with shop rates at $90+/hour the manual pays for itself the first time you use it.. I believe the price is the dealer cost, because Triumph considers this a dealer shop supply (there's not a markup, so no discount).. My dealer discounted my Daytona manual then found out that it didn't have a markup...

Yes the Factory manual is the same for all Rocket models.. Part# 3851160 issue 1, 09.2007 covers Rocket III, Rocket III Classic & Rocket III Touring

Here's the copyright from my Daytona Manual (Same wording as the Rocket manual) I'd be interested if they actually copied the copyright info...

Ya gotta good point punkin. With shop rates the way they are, the book will pay for itself after one use plus the benefits of having wiring diagrams and such.

Thanks for all the feed back fellas. It helps to know how other people have proceeded!!!
