Well, it was a beautiful sunny day here in Michigan with no residual salt on the road so I decided to take the monster for a short ride. Did I say I hate the winter months...
I'm always cooking up something so here goes another one. I decided to make my own adapter plate for lifting my R3...
On previous posts, I've commented about my new R3T stalling during deceleration/down shifting. I recently installed the "stock and slip on" tune. (368). Bike came from the dealer with (367) installed. I've put a few hundred miles on the bike since the (368) install and it has not stalled once...

I was at El Mirage dry lake in Southern California today to watch SCTA land speed racing, and I spotted this:
I didn't have a chance to talk to the R3 rider, does anyone recognize the bike? He ran 147 MPH on the run I saw.
As usual, there were also many other interesting contestants, such as...
I purchased the Australian McCruise Control shortly after I bought my bike but its been sitting on a shelf in the garage ever since. I just left Las Vegas for two weeks in the Philippines so I dropped the bike and the cruise unit at Freedom Cycle in Las Vegas to have it installed while I'm gone...
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. Well I figured I'd hook it up to the Rocket and low and behold, I was receiving...
Greetings,
I just picked up my 2006 Classic two days ago. Enjoying it so far!
My previous ride was a Honda 919 (or Hornet 900, depending on the country). Had that bike for 10 years and loved every minute, but I needed something better for two-up rides with the wife. I nearly got a Dyna...
Need removable bags.. probably going to go with these:
MUTAZU Motorcycle Trunks
Bike is metallic flake gloss black... if I get the Matazu gloss black it won't be EXACTLY the same.. think that'll matter or should I look at flat-black? Other recommendations?
Opinions are OK!

Hi all,
No doubt the subject has been broached many times but I need some input on this.
My '08 standard R3 (slightly modified for touring) has 52k on her and needs a new clutch.
Seems I may have burned it forcing the bike to a safe spot about 100 yards after a rear tire blowout on the...
I thought I would stop by and leave a post before i look through the forum.
I am an R3 owner my self and love the bike, hoping to smarten it up a little.
I have begun stripping the R3 so watch out for my questions. :)
Has anyone replaced their rider floorboards with footpegs?
Personally prefer pegs over boards....any advice on replacement pegs appreciated.
Cheers Ruddy
Hello Rocketmen from Columbia, Missouri. I'm new to the site...looking to buy a Rocket III Touring. I currently own a 2011 Victory Hammer which is great for solo riding, but my g/f isn't comfortable on the back. I'm considering a 2009 thru 2012 R3T for budget reasons. I've ridden a 2011 R3R...

Replaced my R3R exhaust with straight through end cans and straight through cross-over, plus in-box K&N, got it dyno'ed accordingly. F/A was set at 13.5. the performance and smooth running is perfect.

My surrogate son has a GSXR600 track bike, hotted up with Yoshimura exhaust, cams and K&N. It also had a PCV fitted to it. The bike was lacking compared to others. On a thought (probably a bad one) I took the Auto tune off my R3 and fitted it up to his bike (there was a connection for it in...
