    Do you think this is an issue?

    Well, I went and bought and Riken Raptor 225/55ZR16 and plan on installing it, once the rear Metz wears out. However, I have previously installed the Rivco License Plate / Turn Signal Relocation Kit for the Triumph Rocket III License Plate Relocator by Rivco for the New Triumph Rocket III It...

    Thinkin about a Scrambler

    Wayne Tripp has been delayed due to a design flaw he found on the turbo set-up going on my bike. I've already been without a skoot for too long and it looks like I'm going to be about that much longer. Sooooo..... I am about a hair's breath away from signing a purchase agreement (in hand) for...

    Do you ever think about...

    ...how large motorcycles have become over the years. We're now to the point where a 1500-1600 cc bike is considered "mid-size". At what point did cars and motorcycles cross paths while traveling in opposite directions. Cars have gotten smaller over the years. I remember my first street bike. It...

    I am sick, I think

    Somewhere I heard in a movie, " Somebody Stop Me". I went to lunch at a local eatery that is connected to a motorcycle dealer and I had been there before. After eating, I just walked through the door and as soon as I did it hit me like a runaway truck. 2010 Black Victory Vision Eight Ball for...

    Thinking about getting a new bike....

    I'M KEEPING THE R3T:D. Now that that is out of the way, I am debating on getting either a used KLR650, or a DR650. I am looking for anyone out there that has/had one and can give me some info. I know that they are both great bikes, but I am having a hard time choosing.

    Thinkin of painting the radiator sides...

    Guys, I'm thinking that the radiator sides and top pieces are plastic chrome... Anyone see any problems with scratching them with fine paper and spraying them flat black? I see no reason to spend good money to buy new black ones when a few coats will do the job. They don't seem to get hot=I...

    Shinko and Raptor

    Lucille needed some new shoes, so I went with the Raptor 225/55 in the rear [Had it on for a few days and I really like it better than the 245/50 I took off. Can't even tell it's not a motorcycle tire!] and the Shinko 747 for the front. 747 TOURING/CRUISER FRONT RADIAL TIRES - JCWhitney I...

    Link to R3T service manual?

    Does anyone know if there is a link to an online R3T service manual anywhere? Have found a few for the R3's but as almost everything is different on the Touring I'm assuming there's a separate manual for it? :confused:

  17. Thinking about a Rocket III tourer

    Hello all, I am Tazshido (the way of the berserker) and I am currently overseas in the middle east on a combat tour with the Army (National Guard). My purpose for being on this tour is to save money for a newer, nicer motorcycle (and to serve my great country of course). I have about 30...

Or should I chuck this idea? You may not notice but the spoiler curves around the tire and above is open one long vent...
