    R3R Love At First Sight!

    Hi Guys and Gals! My name is Ty and I still can't believe I'm here! I've been a lifetime HD rider, hell my club name is Harley but here I am. Three weeks ago I went to an area Triumph Dealer with a friend of mine because she needed me to trailer an old Honda of hers there for minor repairs...

    R3 std to R3R

    Sort of new to the site, been surfing around for a while but finally have subscribed. Have owned a R3 std for 3 yrs but have just traded it on a R3R Red Haze, cracker colour. Bit different to ride and feels a lot smoother, especially in the box. Sorry no photos, the Ol' Shiela has lost the camera.

  3. Black Triumph Teardrop Mirrors on R3

    I recently installed new mirrors on my R3 Classic...the mirrors are specified for the Thunderbird, but will also work on the Rocket. If interested, here is the Triumph part #A9638085. IMHO, they look MUCH better than the chrome Mickey Mouse ear mirrors that come stock on the R3.

  4. What rear tire are you running on your R3T.

    I got a 2008 Rocket III Tourer with the stock 180/70-16, and ride a tad bit aggressive, tired of all the tire spin taking off :D and am wonder if anyone has tried changing the rear tire to a Metzeler ME880 200/60 - 16, will it fit okay... or is there another option to get a bigger tire on this...

    Head Stock Nut Size on '05 R3

    Would anyone know the size of the nuts on the head stock (across the flats)? Without some disassembly, I measure about 40mm (4cm). I'm going to have a couple of wrenches burned at work & wanted to draw the flat pattern to the proper size. Does someone have any laying around or maybe in the...

    R3T Tachometer Update

    Well! After over a year of trying, I'm going to get a tachometer installed on my R3T. Gulf Coast Motorcycles in Ft.Myers, Florida, is going to install the KOSO with the water temperature function on my bike. The part are ordered, but the work won't be done until the end of July, as I will be...

  7. R3 Owner feedback please

    I'm seriously considering a R3 Roadster or a BB T-Bird. Will be test driving in a week or two. Two past engine issues reported with R3 concerned me. Cam gear failure and final drive bearing failure. Were they certain years only and have they been addressed? I'm looking at 2010-11 R3...

    R3T stock headlight

    I am wondering if it would be possible to remove the stock single headlight from my R3T and install the dual headlights found on the other models :confused: What do you guys think? could it be done?

  9. Black Triumph Teardrop Mirrors on R3?

    Has anyone out there installed the Triumph Black Teardrop mirrors on their R3 (Triumph part A9638085)? If so, can you post a pic or two?

    Broke down R3T in New Jersey.

    Well, I'm in trouble. On day 12 of a 10,000-mile around-the-USA ride. RIGHT BEFORE the Lincoln Tunnel, going into NYC from NJ, my Rocket III died. Coasted into a NJ transit lot and called my dealer in California. He said it's probably related to the alarm (lights go on, all signals flash...

  11. R3 Brake Replacement

    I recently bought a 2007 R3 with 4000 miles on it. The last of owner must have been a urban rider, becasue the brakes are almost worn out already. Anyone have any suggestions on replacement brake pads? I think I want organic so it doesnt chew up the rotor. I looked at EBC's organic, and...

    R3T w/ TORs

    I have a 2011 R3 Touring. It' all stock except I've had the TORs added and had the dealer put on the off road tune (OK, and I installed the "140 cubic inch" engine plate, to amaze and confound HD riders). I did the TORs for the deeper/richer sound, since I thought the stock bike sounded a...

  14. 2011 R3Roadster Torq Issue

    I just finished breaking in a 2011 Rocket 3 Roadster and couldn't get the power and torq performance I was expecting. I ride at 4000 to 5000 FTASL. Had the dealer remap the fuel for gasoline w/ethonal as they thought that might be the issue. Some improvement but nothing like my 2006 Rocket...

    At 31, my 31st motorcycle is an R3 :)

    Bought my R3 (on ebay) and plane tickets for my wife and myself 11 months ago and rode it 1500 miles home. By far the BEST streetbike I've ever riden. There is no upgrade from here :). I've frequented this site several times to pick up advice (and others' errors) on upgrades. The most...

  18. Risers for R3 Roadster, and a real horn!

    Hi, FastEddie from Canada. Bought my Roadster last week, and love it. The people at r3... say their risers do not fit the Roadster, and thoughts? The horn on my bike is simply too wimpy for the bike, need a more MANLY horn. cheers, FastEddie

    R3 Captain in Saline, Michigan?

    Hey, everybody, I've been off the site for a while, been busy! Retired from the Air Force after 25+ years and have relocated to the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. The Rocket made it from Virginia without a scratch (so did my ElectraGlide and my wife's Sporty), and am looking forward to enjoying the...
