Roger Allmond Triumph Rocket 3 Custom Finished
April 16th, 2008 at 9:03 am by Paul Crowe - "The Kneeslider"
Got word from Roger Allmond yesterday that his Triumph Rocket 3 custom was just finished late Saturday night. He had some photos taken over at MCN and they have the first one up.
It’s certainly one big and beefy custom, exactly what you would expect given the bike he started with, though there’s very little of that bike left, except for the engine. Most everything you see comes from Roger’s own handiwork.
I will be talking to Roger soon to get more of his thoughts about how he went about building this beast. I’ll be curious, too, about what the Triumph crowd thinks.

Very sexy! I love these custom sport bikes. I bet it is quite a difficult bike to master.
I’m becoming more and more ok with the asymmetry of the one sided front suspensions.

Just not a fan of single side suspension myself, but nice otherwise.

Wow, very cool! It’s like a streetfighter/cruiser. I have to admit, I was skeptical when I saw the first working photos.

Very neat job integrating the radiator into the design. These can be tough to bring off and often look just patched on. Not so here. I’d like to see how it looks from the near side, which is not the best face of the stock Rocket 3.

DO SINGLE SIDE SUSPENION FLEX A LOT MORE. ANY WAY IT LOOKS GOOD.

THAT is a muscle bike!

Kneeslider, here’s the opinion from the Triumph crowd. Amazing!

I noticed that all the MCN video focused on the right side of the bike. Could it be that the left side just ain’t that good lookin’?
Roger Allmond is obviously very talented. Too bad that only one half of his bike demonstrates that talent.

Ottoman, single sided suspensions don’t inherently flex any more or less than telescopic forks. Cannondale made serious mountain bikes which had a single sided telescopic fork suspension.
That particular front suspension unit looks like it should be more than sturdy enough.

Awesome machine. Trumph should make one
