  2. R3 touring bags on a classic/roadster

    Well I am a picky bastard and I want what isn't made. So I started a project this winter of making my 07 classic more like a touring. You know, with the hard bags and dual exhausts, just not the skinny ass rear rim or the annoying gauge cluster in the tank. Although I would love a teardrop...

    2007 r3 Classic needs new shoes

    Ok guys, please don't flame. I know there are tire threads all over, but I can't find the best sizes for my R3 anywhere. I'm wanting to run with the Bstone Excedra Max rear and an Avon Cobra front. Last I had written down was 150/89R17 & 240/55R16. Am I close?

    harley touring air shocks on a r3t

    Saw a set of harley touring air shocks on craigslist for not much money. Would they work on a r3t. Would it be an upgrade or a waste of time and effort?

    Hello everyone! I use one of those 25 dollar OBDII Bluetooth readers on Amazon on both of my cars. In conjunction with the Torque Pro app (HIGHLY recommend), I can monitor any information the ECU/sensors are sending.
