Ok Captains,
with the help of Tom, I've had a name change. When I joined , I had yet to get my Rocket and I was "R3ToBe." Since I got my Rock a few weeks ago, the "ToBe" didnt work any more. Since I got a blue and aluminum classic, I thought BlueStreak would work well. All of my posts that...
Evening all, is it my mount or do all R3T have noisy 'clunky' gear changes in the lower 1-3? I have had it just on a month and have done 600kms only but have thought gear changes noiser than anything else I have ridden.
Regards Carey
Looking for an R3 rocker shifter for an 06 Triumph Rocket 3 that I can cut off the rear shift lever to have just the front shifter. Want to save my original one.
Hey Guys, I'm new to R3Owners, in fact i am kind of new to this forum, posting thing.
I live in Northeastern Oregon, and ride a black R3 Touring. The more I ride the bike the more I love it. With this bike the saying is true, "It's about the journey not the destination".
I look forward to...
:D Evening all
Anyone able to give a 'realistic' top speed of a standard R3T?
Was wondering what the clock reading would be should one wind it out on the freeway?

I recently replaced the Bridgestone Excedras on my R3T with Avon Cobras. I got about 5500 miles out of the Bridgestones. The tires were just down to the wear bars and could have given another thousand miles were it not for the weird handling. At speeds under 25 it felt like a tire was flat. I...
I'm about to buy my first R3, but does anyone know when the 09s will be out? Anyone heard of any changes to them? Should I wait for the 09 or go for the 08? Thanks!
Hey, can any of you ex-sport bike or tech heads help me put here.
Friend is looking to lower his Honda FVR 750 and we can not find a lowering kit for this model bike. Can anyone lead me in the right direction:o
Thanks.
Some of you were asking for pics so I took some after Rosie got her make-up on. :D
I also took one of the fender with the seat off and one of the bottom of the seat for Molinoman.
She may have a little meat on her bones, but I think she's a fine looking gal!

As a lot you know I have kind of "lucked" into a dream job, working for my local Triumph dealer...D&D Cycles of Pensacola. Besides getting Sundays and Mondays off, and drinking coffee out on the floor (something I couldn't do working at Sears or the Navy Exchange) I also get to ride different...
Hi all,
I'm new to the forum. The wife wanted me to find a nice Gold wing with a big ole "Queen Seat" on the back with radio/cup holders and probably a butler. So off I went to ebay world to find a honda, but I got off track somewhere and typed in "cruiser" and low and behold, up pops an R3.. It...
Hey folks! Newbie to the wonderful world of R3’s. I come to this forum under odd circumstances and I hope to gain some knowledge about rocket 3’s. In summary my 69 year old father went out and bought a near new fully decked out Rocket 3 on impulse. He has been riding his entire life but he...
Does anyone know if it's possible to powdercoat an r3 engine with all the innards still assembled (cases not split and disassembled). I'm told the engine would be at 450 degrees for about 30 minutes. It's very expensive to take the engine apart and gutted for coating. If the engine can't handle...
Last night, after working on an upgrade in the Photo Album, the server's hardrive experienced a failure and shutdown all services.
After a couple hours, the drive was working again but things were "too far gone" to rely on it. So my team spent the rest of the night replacing the drive and...
