After looking high and low for alternatives to the tank bra offered by Triumph, I contacted the folks at Chilhowee Leather to design one for the Rocket III. After trading templates back and forth through the mail, they sent me some final demos that fit perfect and look great on the Rocket. They should begin offering this product in the very near future with many different options to choose from.

I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how to. Stay tuned...

Dunno when they'll be offered or how much they'll charge, but I reckon it will be soon and probably $75-120 depending on options you want. To see examples of their work, you can check out their website below:

Picture is from my bike. There is a nice place for a Triumph patch right above the pocket (added later). Good quality, fits/looks good.

Strictly my opinion but, very overpriced and extremely ugly.

The pride of Triumph ownership can only be improved as other after market companies offer products for our bike. Kudos to you for working with this company to develop the tank bra. Whether you like it or not, I hope we all agree that seeing Triumph added as a supported brand is great for every Rocket owner.

I've seen leather items like this before, next to the leather collars and doggy leashes in the local adult toy store. Just kidding, I have the Triumph issue tank belt, works well, holds my cell phone and garage door opener in the pocket.
