    Glad to have your advice. I would have taken off a lot more. My geometry skills were never that good. I've been meaning to do this for a long time....

    Did you do anything to broaden the base (already fairly small)? In hindsight, was 7mm about right- go less or more? Thanks

    Oh, yeah- I remember now. I keep reading about how tricky it is to weld aluminum and have just avoided going that route (for now). I'm also too cheap to hire someone :-). You took care of the issue though, which IS a real problem.

    Alpinestars Boots a no go

    I had to adjust my shifter for thick boots and it took some finagling before I finally got it. For one thing, I had to rotate the actual shifter lever on the shaft to get what I needed. This may, or may not, be of help... https://www.r3owners.net/threads/shifter-adjustment.50627/

    Stalling Issues on 2025 Rocket 3R

    Happens to me every one in a great while. I think it's when I coast in to a stop, rather than my usual downshifting sequence. @Mighty Mouse may be on to something. When downshifting the RPMs remain high, but without adding fuel, so there may still be a correlation there.

    Harley Davidson Reveals ‘MOST POWERFUL PRODUCTION BIKE EVER'

    Agree, but I wouldn't pay 30K. Rather have the R3 at any cost.

    2.5 using oil

    You're reading my mind. I have thought about it. If I get another failure after installing two at spec o-rings I’ll give that a try. Should work I would think

    There was a thread on this topic a long while ago- no doubt @youzguyz chimed in there too. The 2.3s lean over a lot more than the2.5s. My theory is that Triumph wanted people to sit on the R/GT in the showroom, stand it up and think, "wow, this bike doesn't really feel all that heavy." That's...

    2.5 using oil

    My hybrid fix with one larger o-ring and one stock size finally failed. I just the other day installed two of the stock size as Triumph intended. We'll see how long they last. I wonder how many people have this leak and don't realize it.

    Wheel Tools

    I probably misunderstood and you already know this, but the rear wheel spindle bolt does not need to be removed to remove the wheel. See page 184 in the service manual about lubing the needle roller bearings. That's when you'd need to remove that bolt. The rear wheel is held on by the lug...

    Am I crazy!!

    I had a Speed Triple for a while. I've always thought of the new Rockets as Speed Triples on steroids. The 3GT will let you just cruise when you want to- very tame, until you pull on her ears, whereas the speed triple always wants you to get on it. You're going to love it- guaranteed...

    Unexpected engine pulsing in 4th gear

    Yeah, sounds like something I might have tried trying to figure out what's going on, but as @Protonhound said- obviously not a good idea. How many miles are on the bike? You said you might be hearing it from the drive shaft. Have you inspected and lubed the splines? I don't think most people...

    Harley Davidson Reveals ‘MOST POWERFUL PRODUCTION BIKE EVER'

    The CVO Road Glide RR, built on Harley’s touring platform, features a 131 cubic-inch motor that produces 153 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. Riders will be hard pressed to get their hands on one though, as only 131 units will be produced, while its price tag is a scorching $110,000. :roll...
