Since one of my hobbies is photography I'm always looking for better lighting, a different angle, more reflections off the pitch black paint or chrome. Here's another capture, while the bike is still clean & shiny. 1250 miles on the Beast now.

Installed Flip's SS radiator insert yesterday. Before installation I removed the chrome screen, sand blasted it, and painted it black. I'm very happy with the result. Here's a couple of shots after the install. Link Removed Link Removed

I see they have finally added the risers to there site however I am confused now it states they are for the tourer not touring again its the wording thats confusing me I tried to call but they were closed. I may be able to get my answer this way I know on the regular R3s the instrument panel...

I took a 200 mile ride yesterday with the distinct purpose of pushing the limits of the gas tank. Previously I'd ridden 181 miles to where the digital gauge told me I was out of gas. When I filled up, however, I only needed 4.5 gallons to fill up the tank. That tells me the gauge isn't...

I've had my R3T for 12 days now. I've only ridden 5 of those days. 1000 miles this morning !!! This bike continues to impress me. I have since fitted the Long Haul dual seat with the backrest. I have also put on the Triumph front dresser bars with some Kuryakyn offset pegs. I've also...

I have seen on a site the the solo rack requires the chrome fender rail covers however when I go to triumph site it makes no mention nor is it offered so I am a bit confused. the part number it says I need is A9758075 so in the end I am trying to figure out why I would need it if I do in fact...

Anybody got a line on something less expensive? The service manual from triumph is like $90 ! Little expensive for my taste. But I like todo my own service and having the schematics and such is great. Thoughts?? mutt

Hi Just moved from Minnesota to Austin TX. Is there any R3 owners here in Austin? Went to the Triumph/BMW dealer didnt seem to friendly! Looking for other riders to get to know:)

I managed to get myself an 08 R3T for a fair deal price. This bike simply rocks. I put 100 miles on her today and will get another 300 tomorrow. The ride is rock soild, smooth, and impressed me greatly. I will need to get something to pull pack the bars. The seat is not too supportive...

Well, I did it. I signed my life away! (obviously my life is not worth much ! LOL) So in 2 wks I will take delivery on a Brand new 2008 R3T Jet Black w/ Aux light accessory!!!!! :D:D WOOHOOO!!!!! I have been trolling this forum for a couple of months and after being here a short time I have...

Hey guys.........test rode an R3T and liked it a lot more than my HDs, so..as soon as my income tax check or bonus check from work comes in a black R3T will be coming home. Now comes the hard part.....reading about all you guys going out riding....:( Frank

Paul (Joker) is out celebrating, so I thought I should post his results with Predators on his SC R3. Excellent results, congrats Paul and Sam! I suspect there's one more buyer for a billet clutch basket now! ;)

Does it help or hurt any thing I need more room for addons

I need to find out exactly the factory alarm hookup is located and how do I get to it. I am thinking of getting a talon because it's half the price. Thanks

Has anyone put a car tire on the R3T? I am thinking about it, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has done it on the Tourer?

Just to keep keep this forum on the cutting edge, there are 8000 and 9000 RPM versions of TuneBoy available for the R3. The resolution is simply changed so that the tables are "stretched" to accommodate the higher RPM limit. This means that if you paste in your old 7000 RPM tables, the tune...

Hey all; newbie member with possibly a dumb question here. I'm not too knowledgeable on turbo information; I will never pretend to say I'm a mechanic; but happened to fall upon what may possibly be a good deal for some upgrade parts for the Beast; here's a quote from an email a buddy sent to me...

Hello to all. I'm a new Rocket Touring owner having traded in my 04 Honda VTX1300 with 30,000 miles on her. I am stunned with the performance and handling of my TR3T not to mention the absolutely fabulous styling. I came within $300 of being a Harley Street Glide owner but the Triumph won out...

I am going in next week to get a set of TOR's not my first choice but the easiest as far as I can see but thats another story. what should I expect response wise and how loud is it going to be
