Here are some shots of my 2008 R3T with 6 piston Hayabusa calipers.
Some may have a more expensive or exotic 6 pot setup. I just really
enjoy using my mechanical design background to make one-off parts
for my Rocket. This complete setup ran me about 40% the cost of buying
some off the shelf...
I had a new 2005 Rocket III and traded it in for my 2012 Goldwing. I just purchased a new 2014 Roadster as an addition to my collection. When I originally had my other Rocket there were a decent amount of extras. The accessories (after market) seem to have diminished greatly. I would appreciate...
Just thinking about selling my trusty steed and testing the waters to see if it's even worth it. I may be a victim of Too Many Bikes Syndrome.
I bought it new in 2009 and have put close to 40k miles on her. Triumph dealer serviced locally in San Diego where I bought it (Rocket Motorcycles)...
A guy on the Triumph Rocket 3 Roadsters touring classic page on FaceBook just posted that the R3T has been discontinued after 2014, anybody else hear of this?
I know I know! never believe anything you read on the Internet..... :whitstling:
I'm looking at kitting my new R3R out as a bagger and currently weighing up the options. I love the Corbin Beetle bags but over here in Ireland they will cost me €2400 so they're a big investment. Also I hear the rear dresser bars wont work with them in the event of a stray car door or tip...
I'm looking to possibly sell my black Rocket 3 Touring. I bought it new from the dealer with 13 miles on it. It's got the gel seat, 2 backrests, touring lights with the bezels, hard bags with the chrome accents, and luggage rack. I'm pretty sure it has every dealer option available. It's...
Hi all,
I've been looking for a batwing fairing for my R3, So far I've found Corbin and maybe Tsukayu, although I don't know yet if the later makes one apart from the touring model.
Any and all information is appreciated and would I like to hear pros/cons from any of you that might be using this...
Hey out there in R3TLand, do you ever wish your ride had more brakes up front?
Consider that Triumph uses this same caliper on other models that weigh HUNDREDS
of pounds less than our R3T's?
I took a look and decided I wanted more. So I did some CAD layout work and designed
some nifty little...

Thought I would post this on here as I know there are a few members from the UK and surrounding countries on here. :)
The Triumph Rocket 3 Owners Club UK are holding their National Rocket Run 2014 at The Moth and Lantern, Retford (DN22 0EU) on Friday 22nd - Monday 25th August.
We are again...
Don't know how many of you guys have seen this - I just saw it for the first time this morning.
The rider is VERY conservative! He uses almost none of the available lean angle and doesn't apex most of the turns - just tracks around them - mostly straight up. I know he's 2-up, but there's...
I will have my 2011 Touring tuned soon on a Dynojet. It has a PC5, Jardine headers/exhaust, and underseat K&N a/c. The a/c will not be changed. What are reasonable torque (at 2000 rpm) and HP goals to expect a "good" tuner to achieve? Unfortunately, it's impossible to get the bike to Wayne...
VMAX has convinced some folks that it's a cruiser, but it sure as hell can't pretend to be a tourer. Is any production tourer as fast as the R3T? I've got a feeling that the correct answer is a resounding "HELL NO!"
Switched out my standard three pipe exhaust for the Roadster dual pipe setup and just wondered if anyone new which exhaust flowed better or made more power. I know some will say why bother but I really like the looks of the Roadster exhaust and it sounds better too. I wanted to keep the decibel...
All,
I am planning a 2 week trip next summer and would like to use a detachable trunk on my solo luggage rack for the trip. I am thinking about the DMY series from Matazu with the rack 1.

I slid on some road sand yesterday while making a turn and down I went. I'm looking for repair shop recommendations in the DFW area of Texas for my beloved TR3. Especially in the Plano area.
Many thanks
Like alot of others thanks to Speedy & BuffaloR3 I printed out the picture and instructions for the ignition switch bypass and had in my kit.
I was sorting and cleaning my kit out the other day and came across it...... good thing I had it in there but I didn't even have any wire to perform the...
