    Wednesday Bike Night Observation

    Sorry, this is a long one since I tend to wax anecdotal once I get typing. This last Wednesday I decided to stop by Quaker Steak and Lube where they have a weekly "bike night". It's not a very grand affair, but it brings in 100 or so bikes and it's a fun place to check out some nice machines...

    Carpenter 210+ VS 240+ on the street

    I know there are dozens of Carpenter themed threads I could have put this on, but I haven't been able to find this exact discussion, and I'd really like some input before I drop my bike off this Sat. Can any of you more experienced gents provide a bit of comparison between the 210+ and 240+...

    For Sale TORs, chrome Bearclaw, PC with AT

    Finally getting my ass out to Carpenter to get a 210+ kit put on. I have some parts to unload, and hoping to help fund the endeavor. TORs **May be spoken for** - I had these up for a bit last year and had a buyer, but ended up in a bit of a tumble and I thought they were damaged so I took them...

    Clocks out, engine ran until turned off

    Good morning all. I was on my way to work this morning when I looked down and realized my clocks were dead. Absolutely no readout. The needles are stuck at the speed and revs I was at when the dials died, no signal lights, no nothin. The bike ran like a top until I got to work and flipped it...

    Several ECU tunes all running VERY rich

    I currently have a PCV with an AT installed on my bike. The PCV is loaded with a 0 map, so (theoretically) it should not be modifying my fueling. I have loaded at least 3 different tunes on my ECU, each with appropriate configurations for my bike. I would expect some trims, perhaps some...

    Different strokes, or so they say.

    When I started my current contract I was told I had to meet one of the regular employees because he is a serious biker. This happens to me a lot because I have a tendency to talk about my bike more than any other topic, and I was happy to meet somebody else who is well known for loving their...

    Reband pipe ceramic coating?

    EDIT: to anyone reading this- Ric makes an excellent product and holds his work to a high standard. I am very happy with my Reband exhaust, but it looks like the powder coating has some flaws. I still HIGHLY recommend the system and would buy it again. I got my new Reband exhaust installed...

    Pipes finally

    FINALLY after months of struggle and frustration, I have my bike back and my “first” mod project finished. Final tally is: Corbin Fastgun seat (with green accent to match future paint plans) Ghost Lock brackets with Hepco & Becker Strayker bags (if I can ever get the brackets to ship... they...

    Why compare Apples (Rockets) to Oranges (Diavels)

    The Diavel was brought up in one of the welcome threads and I started to type a rant, but stopped myself because that's not what the welcome posts are for! Instead I'm going to post some thoughts here and see if I'm all alone in my opinions. If you look up the Triumph Thunderbird, you find...

    lean mix?

    I posted about a couple little concerns after picking up my roadster after getting triples and a PC5 installed. I had experienced suction in the fuel tank ONLY at the first fuel-up after driving home (I've been checking diligently since and not had any other incidents). I drove the bike home...

    QQ Thundermonster baffles WITH stock Jardine baffles?

    Okay it's Norseman with another newbie question! Everybody, to the edges of your seats! I'm putting the Jardine Roadster slashcut exhaust on my 2012 Roadster whenever they come in (hopefully early next week). I have heard the rumblers on another rocket and to be perfectly honest, despite...

    K&N Crickets?

    I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything specific when I searched. I just got my bike back with the K&Ns under the bearclaw and a PC5. The bike runs great, much less decel popping. There is a notable chatter from the K&Ns at certain revs. Is this the "cricket"...

    Anybody heard of this exhaust?

    I have been trying my best to plumb the depths of the internet for exhausts for my 2012 Roadster and today I bumped into this thing: Classic & Custom Motorcycle Mufflers & Exhausts I've never seen anything quite like it for the Rocket. I really like the combination of ceramic and chrome...

    Thunder Monster baffles Any 1st (or 2nd) hand experience?

    I bumped into this site while researching my (hopefully imminent) cat bypass/pipe/air project and it piqued my interest. I LOVE a deep DEEP resonant exhaust note, but I also leave/return home at some pretty unreasonable hours so I want to keep my exhaust sound somewhere near neighborly. The...

    New member from Rochester NY

    Good morning R3owners.net folks! I have a 2012 Roadster, almost entirely stock (just accessory slip-ons and heated grips) I've been riding for only a few years, caught the bug in 2010 and bought a little japanese cruiser that suited my experience and wallet, but drooled over the Speedmaster and...
