** Most of all, THANK YOU for your Support! **
Thanks mate!
Thanks for the video. I have spent the evening removing most of my parts to have the powder coated. And it really helped me get the backrest off. Much appriciated. You would not happen to have one on removing the cat? I have order Ixil exhaust for my rocket
Thank you! I appreciate the comments. I do, go to my home page on UA-cam by clicking on my channel name and go to videos. You can see all I have done on the rockets. So glad it helped. Ride safe.
Thank you for this video, used as a guide for backrest install. I have a 2023 Rocket 3R, Matte Silver. The black backrest is a great addition, stealthy looking on the Matte Silver as well. New to the Rocket world recently, loving this bike, it is a joy to ride! Think she will be around for a bit. Luggage rack next for me as well, awaiting delivery. Again, thanks for the video, it was my guide! (Mudflap reinstall was not that fun, but finally got it!) "For the Ride"
Thanks for the feedback, and I am glad it was helpful. 100% on the mud guard, but I found that if you drop the pegs, it helps. For next time lol.
Awesome bikes and yea, tons of fun. Ride safe and thanks for the support!
Thank you for the great informative video. I myself, just acquired 2023 Rocket 3 GT. I'm wondering if you could share information about the tools you use ? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Thank you for your video. I ordered the same part for my R Chrome Edition, I was having issues positioning the plastic lever until I saw your video
Thank you for the feedback. You bet, I am glad the video was able to assist, that’s why I like to make them. We all gotta help each other out right? 😃
Thanks again and ride safe.
I do camera as i go too...
thought I'd prefer the silver backrest, but you're right, it look much better black!
Thanks for the feedback. I 100% agree. Very happy with the result for sure.
Ride safe.
Great video ❤❤❤
Thank you! Much appreciated.
I always thought that the silver backrest makes the (stunning) Rocket 3 look like a teapot. The black one is so much better, I hope I will get a better look at it in one of your next videos. Also, I love the color you chose for the bike but doesn't the chrome on top of the tank blind you on sunny days? Anyway, love the bike, loved your video!
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. I felt the same but they never had the black available to purchase until this year. Once I saw it, it was over. Lol. I will do a walk around video again to show the changes here in the future. As far as the chrome tank, it hasn’t caused an issue for me yet, oddly, I was curious if the same thing. Love riding These bikes, they are just awesome.
Thanks again and ride safe.
It does look better the you have another place go pro 8 frnt and back , one in a black bag lookin oit.
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated!
Thanks a lot for this video! The black is pretty stunning and goes well with the black fender theme.
I noticed that you’re still using the stock seat instead of the Corbin seat, which you removed from your old GT. What’s up with that? Are you not going to replace the stock seat with the Corbin seat?
Again, thanks for all the videos you share. I enjoy them very much!
Thanks, much appreciated. Lol, good eye, there may be something coming in the future related to that very thing 😉
Ride safe.
@@justkillnbugz oohhh… the excitement… can’t wait! 👍😁
One thing I didn't like about the kit is that it came with crhome screws
100% agreed. I get that the bike has variations of colors, but I would have liked those to be black for sure.
Nice video bro..I just wonder any video available to convert the seat infill from GT to R ? Where to get the plate infill to look like R..
Thanks for the reply and feedback, much appreciated.
I do not have a video of that conversion, however I did do that very thing on my 2020 GT. Its a simple process of just removing the backrest opposite of what I showed here and purchasing the fillers from your Triumph dealer. I may do a video of that process at a later date when/if I end up converting to a Corbin rear fender setup again. You can see the end result in my 2020 Rocket walkaround video as well.
Ride safe
I went back and looked at my 2020 Rocket return to stock video before I traded in Lois. In the video at about 17:00 mins in I show the inserts and how they go in and out. It applies with the backrest install and removal. You can see it here in this vides: ua-cam.com/video/H2enzln2Zqg/v-deo.htmlsi=JTYeUF_740MMrhgG
Hope that helps, ride safe!
Crap, I bought the brushed aluminum one. Need to order the luggage rack. Wish someone would engineer a quick release system for 2 up seats and backrests like the well-designed Triumph Rocket pannier system. Cripes, the minute Ms. Sota and I are done 2up touring, I am going to uninstall the backrest, the buttfugly 2 up Corbin custom seat and the tall Madstad windscreen. The terrible things we do to carry a passenger...
Lol. So true! I am sure you guys have a blast though!
Stay safe!
So you bought the chrome but took the shiny pieces off?
Lol. No. I took the brushed metal pieces off to match the back fender for a more consistent look.
@@justkillnbugz I actually see what you were going with. I just like the shiny pieces. Looks good 👍
What did you do with your old parts?
I have most of them in my garage. lol.
@@justkillnbugz That is often what happens. If you want to sell them, let me know. I was thinking about adding a set to my Rocket 3 R. It is all black, and I didn't want to go all murdered out, as it has too much black already.
@@justkillnbugz If you ever want to sell them, let me know.
I may, I need to see all I have so I know what’s available.
@@justkillnbugz Cool, just let me know. I have an R and my wife would like a backrest since I upgraded the seat.
Can you sell me the old brushed aluminum one you took off?
Possibly, PM me on Instagram and we can cover the details.
@@justkillnbugz what’s your screen name on there?
@@DennisFromSouthFlorida I will give you a hint, LOL - instagram.com/JustKillnBugz
