    R3's in Warwick

    drove into Warwick to my dads place today past the Caltex Truck stop on the Cunningham Highway and there were 4 Rockets in the carpark. I think 2 had solid bags. Anyone on the forum out for a run??? Unfortunately couldn't stop as was running late but definately 4 black R3's.

    2013 R3R questions

    Gurus. Questions for the 2013 R3R: 1. Is a 15oz coolant overflow tank large enough? 2. Are there baffles or anything else in the crossover pipe? Trying to determine if it should be replaced with a Staintunes or Triumph aftermarket or just leave it alone...if I go with a set of TORs. 3...

    Texas R3 Captains

    Was wondering if anyone in Texas can recommend a shop that's familiar with Rockets to do after market installs/tunes such as Jardines, doing the K&N triples, PCV+AT (or TuneECU), mapping, and knows how to dyno tune a Rocket....or similar custom work etc. I'm in the Bryan/College Station area. A...

    R3T Adjustable Levers??

    I've been looking for adjustable levers for my R3T for some time. There are several sites and manufacturers offering adjustable levers for the R3 - but none, apparently, will fit/function on the R3T. Does anyone know of a source for such levers? It wouldn't hurt if they were a little nicer...

    Future R3R owner

    Hey everyone. Been lurking a bit and did some posting in the "performance" forum on intake/exhaust mod questions but thought I'd do a formal introduction. I don't own an R3R yet but I can tell ya this: I looked and the Hardleys and the rice cruisers (I don't want a sport bike) and then...

    Seeking a map for a Rocket-Touring for open performance. The Touring is completely in stock condition. Who can help and possibly has a modified and functioning map for me? Thanks, Tom

  10. potential R3 owner

    Hello all! I'm looking at a '13 R3 roadster and would like some input as to the common issue(s), if there are any, that the R3 has and/or the pluses. I love the looks of this beast. I haven't rode one yet, but I'm heading up Monday to see if I can't get a ride in. I currently ride a Kawasaki...

    NewR3 Exhaust on my Rocket

    I kicked it around for a few months and finally decided to buy the Shorty Exhaust from NewR3.com. Here is a link to a video I uploaded to youtube. Let me know what you think. Triumph Rocket III NewR3 Exhaust - YouTube

  12. 2013 R3T - ABS or not ????

    I just bought a 2013 R3T and everything on the dealer site and paperwork about the bike indicates it has ABS. There is only one cable going to each caliper (usually a sensor cable in there somewhere if it has ABS right?) nothing in the manual about ABS and no ABS warning light on start up. Do...

  13. Will HD Grips fit the R3?

    I've got a 2005 RIII and the grips are DONE. I've been looking for replacements, but all I can seem to find are the KuryAkyn Iso Grips (Never really been a fan) and the stock Rocket replacements. I'm looking for something a bit smaller in diameter to make it easier to hold on tight with...

    R3 Metric?????

    I get kinda pissed when I go into my dealer (HD & Triumph) and the parts guy sends me to the "Metric" end of the counter. Soooo... the last time this happened (yesterday) I just stood there and looked at him and asked him just what part of my Triumph was MORE METRIC than the Harley on the floor...

    R3's the answer - wot was the question?

    Returning to 2 wheels after life got in the way for a while. Wanted a Ducati Monster, thought I should check out the Speed Triple for comparison, saw the T'Bird Storm on the showroom floor and a little bit of wee came out, went home on the R3R - 'nuf said. Only complaint so far is that the...

    R3T Tire Replacement

    Well its time to go tire shopping again. I've tried the Metz and Avon Cobras after the short stint with the OEM Bridgestones that self destructed. I was planning on trying a set of the new Bridgestone Exedra Max tires, but I have one concern. They are load rated at 71 which translates to a max...

    Spoon feeding R3 newbies

    Does anyone think it's funny how new or prospective R3 owners will get on the site and ask questions without doing a quick search? Has no one ever heard of google, the interweb or a "search" button? I'm all about dishing out advice, but c'mon, just do a little bit. Make an effort, guys! If...

    Dan visits UT and AZ on his R3T: 1,500 miles/ 2.5 days

    I'm getting the R3T out on the road this weekend to prove once again that it really is a touring bike (yes, even without a 6th gear, fairing or cruise control).:o Heading up to Southern Utah and Northern Arizona "just because." It was going to be an easy 1,300-miler, but a landslide south of...
