Hello all,
I am searching for a bad/failed starter from an R3.
I have found a good source for cores for Denso starters in the correct rotation. I can get these in higher output 1.9hp/1.4kw, and gear reduction units are available for even better starting ability.
However, I need a spare...
I can't believe my started failed me on a 27 month old bike (warranty would cover it the first 24 moths). This is the first time in 28 years a bike has left me stranded. Now every time I get on it I will wonder if it will get me home.
These things are impossible to push start, had to get a...
Well I got cut off on Thursday and totaled my brand new 2009 Rocket III Touring less than 3000 miles on the bike. Just finished getting all the add-ons put on the bike! I am a little beat up right now and sore.
But here is the question do I stick with Triumph with all the BS they gave in...

I like them so far. They look great to me and appear to be good quality. They're not much louder than stock at idle, but definitely have some bark if you get into the throttle a little. That's exactly what I wanted. I don't want to be one of those guys that annoys every motorist around me at...
Arrived today - this was a rush order as I'm importing my R3 to the UK in 10 days or so, phoned the sales shop in Daytona on the 20th March, and they made it in CA and sent it here to Florida very very fast - top marks! Got stung for FL sales tax though, came in at $454, CA and FL residents will...
I just got the bike back from the shop last night after the install. I didn't get a lot of time on her as the winter storm was rolling in and temps were already back in the 30's. But what time I got on her was really impressive.
I'm back in the break in period and have to take it relatively...
I received my GI Pro from the group buy today. I think I waited a whole ten minutes from delivery to installation. Installation was painless and the directions were very clear. I had no problems with the pin removal. I turned the ignition on and the display showed the correct gear selection. I...
Ok, I have cut the 5 inches off and installed the new tips. While I was at it I installed the new used Kury mirrors. The verdict is still out on them. I also took a pic of my GI Pro installation. What do you guys think?
***Follow up**** GI-Pro detailed instructions???
I thought I saw a post with detailed (pics included) installation instructions for the GI-Pro. Mine came in today and I want to be sure I don't fat finger anything.
Is there a sticky or a link to this kind of instructions?
Thanks...
Wow, GI Pro installed
I finally found the time to install my new GI Pro (ATRE) automatic timing retard eliminator, and while I was at it I removed the secondary butterflies. That was a big pain trying to re install the air box. I can see triple filters in my near future to get rid of that...
Anybody tried one of these? I just got one on ebay. Doesn't seem to bright but may compensate with the circular LED pattern.Braking looks good with all LES illuminated and flashing.
That Mickey mouse horn just had to go!
After failing to get the Risers installed on my Rocket, since I already had the "pull back" handlebars on my Classic (and the cables turned out to be too short with the new Rivco risers) I decided to tackle the second project for my new Rocket.
I...
L.E.D. dual function amber front turnsignals
I installed a pair of clear lens amber L.E.D. dual function (1157 type) turnsignals from Chris Products. They are nearly a perfect match with the OEM single function (1156) Triumph turnsignals.
I had to install a load equalizer. After several...
Riding the Foothills Parkway in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park I was following my buddy who was on his K1200S. He was going too fast so I backed off, apparently not enough. I approached a decreasing radius left hander, braked as long as I could till I reached the point of no return, I...
