Gratitude for that part number! Wonder why it's eliminated from parts fiche?
I NEED rear pads and was going to also order the "torque reaction bolt" for $hits & giggles.
I looked everywhere and the elusive bolt is only offered on Bike Bandit.
They want more for shipping than the bolt cost so I demurred.
Found a set of EBC HH pads for the rear and shall bear with the OEM bolt - WITH Loctite blue.
 
I ordered front and rear pads (EBC HH) from Bike Bandit on the 8th, they showed up yesterday. Slowest online parts supplier I buy from and their free shipping policy is higher $$$ than the rest too. The only reason I ordered from them is because they actually showed a listing for the EBC pads.
 

Today I went to Ebay for mine. Free shipping! We shall see how long it takes - hopefully soon enough before RAA XI.

DARN!
I've bought many things there (most recently his paddock stand) and I totally spaced that he had brake pads!
AND they are $6 less expensive than what I paid.
I shall remember this when the fronts are ready again in not too long.
 
Torque reaction bolt? Never heard of it,
Is that like a sky hook? An ohm sifter? A bucket of steam?

I've used bike bandit for all sorts of stuff on my Intruder and it comes lightning quick....but that's for stuff they stock. Rocket 3 doodads are expressly stated to be drop shipped from Triumph, in England! That's going to take some time to the States.
 
So I shall live with my original & use Loctite.

FYI - For those interested:
I have learned that the Bike Bandit 2005 Triumph Rocket Swingarm:
BOLT,HHF,M18X1.5X59 1397831 T3330158 for $16.64is NOT the same as that for the Rocket Roadster! NOTE: the Triumph part # is T3330158.

The Roadster and Touring are: BOLT,HHF,M18X1.5X58, S5041 2126188 T3330258 for $21.47
Looks to be a different part number and 1mm shorter!
NOTE: the Triumph part # is T3330258.

IIRC you don't need to remove the torque reaction bolt ( fancy name for a bolt to stop the caliper spinning with the wheel when the brakes are applied) to replace the rear pads. It is a 5 minute job.
