AC Cobra Triumph Rocket 3 Custom Completion
Since doing my ride and review of the Triumph Rocket 3, I have always wanted one in my collection. I have also since experiencing that volcanic explosive power delivery referred to this bike as the muscle bike and this is where this idea of customizing a Rocket 3R with the theme of a muscle car began.
In Part 1 I discuss the concept, the ideas and possibilities with potential changes as we go along, alongside my Cobra.
In this Completion episode I go through the finer details of the design, challenges experienced and some exceptional help from phenomenal craftsmen. This episode also details the step by step preperation and assembly right through to start-up and reveal.......

Even though these new small capacity bikes are manufactured in Thailand, they match the British Tri...

    Over here in the states, the Roamer is no longer available with the improved 853cc motor. Is it possible to buy bars, seat and a small wind screen for the bobber to address some of the problems with the bobber?

    I've owned a 2022 for two years, great little bike. Gas mileage is excellent, ride it hard and it averages 65-70 mpg. My only complaints are the front forks are not so great, and maybe 5th and 6th gear could be spaced up a little to drop the highway revs.

    hallo daar. I just found this vid. I bought the first one in Cape Town. (red one). It was still on show at the old Goodwood Showgrounds. Burned a hole in the piston twice. After the second time there was no agent in the country anymore and had it welded up. No internet that time to search for spares in other countries. No knowledge about two strokes to fix it later on and it just rusted away. Bought a green one with 300 km on the clock for R300 about 10 years later. Unregisterd as it was a farm bike. Owner said it has been to about every workshop in Cape Town but no one could get it started. I got it going by setting the ignition timing all the way to the right. some weeks later it stopped and I got it going by setting the timing all the way to the left. Evert time it stopped I had to set the timing to the other side. Eventually the crank seals went and I could not get others any where. So it just rusted away as well. Would love to get one again.

      I personally would go for the R as I think the M is a little too wild and a little too track focused. But that could also be handled via rider skill level…..
