Hi all! New guy from Austin here who's considering a used R3T to replace my '07 Suzuki Bandit 1250, and I have some questions.
1) What are you all paying for insurance? Progressive quoted me $602/yr. on a '14 for minimal liability, minimum uninsured/underinsured, no PIP, collision w/ $500...
on my 2014 R3T ABS, I lost all rear break pressure today on a longer ride. It just pushes to the floor. Fluid level ok. No leaks. Since it is under warranty, I will let the dealer mess with it. I do not think it is air in the line.
Cleaning out the garage I found some stuff left over from when I had my R3T. Not sure what they are worth so I'll post them here and will accept any reasonable offer plus shipping.
I set of saddlebag liners.
1 bike cover. I haven't opened it yet to see if there is a Triumph insignia on it but...
Charlotte to Lake Lure to Marion, NC to home in one day. Set google maps to "Avoid Highways". Around 230 miles. What a beautiful ride through parts of my home state I've never seen! The Rocket handled like a dream, but the wife and I were feeling it toward the end and next morning! Might need...
Looking for Triumph Accessories to complete my new to me touring. Would really love to acquire the rear fender trim, rear fender rail, pannier skirts and or blade badging, drilled shifter, and other embellishers. I'm still hoping to find an oil tank embellisher but I missed out on the 140 a...
Today was our first ride on the Rocket. Here are some of my thoughts and highlights
The Rocket had been setting all winter at the Dealership and needed a good dusting and shining.
Panniers and Windshield are easy off. I like it.
Emma and I did 128 miles today. Bike now has 156 miles on her...
Got back in to riding a year ago with a c50 Blvd. good bike but underpowered for 2 up touring. decided to up my game for longer touring. Searched around for awhile and fell in love with this beast!
Got it today and haven't stopped grinning yet!
Outstanding forum here folks! Been lurking since 2011, first time post. I promise to formally introduce myself in the appropriate forum here shortly. Bike is apart wanted to get this out there asap. Bike is currently set up with tors and a PCV but wanted to make the jump to tuneecu just...
Hi All! Proud new owner of this beautiful '14 R3T, ain't she a beauty? There's a little pitting on the lower front forks, (looks like insect damage possibly), and unfortunately there's a small amount of plastic melted on the exhaust. Any tips for these?
Also, I've only revved her in the garage...
Does anyone know how long the stock brake line is from handlebar to ABS box and what fittings are used? I need a brake line made 7" longer than stock. Any genders who could help with this would be appreciated as well.
Having a V-Rod Muscle, I follow a V-Rod forum and I find it humorous they think it's the fastest cruiser out there... I'll admit she red-lines at 9K (Porsche engineered water cooled engine) and can easily hit 90mph in 3rd gear; however, even weighing 200+lbs less I still don't think that's...
Selling my Triumph Rocket 3 Touring. Excellent condition. 41,000 miles. Fresh oil change and brakes. Good tires.
Equipment includes:
Tachometer and water temp gauge;
TORs
K&N Air Filter;
Triumph Long-Haul Saddle with Rider backrest;
Rear QR Passenger backrest and luggage rack;
Pannier...
The dealer confirmed that the cluster is the issue with the fuel gauge not working. It seems that it's only the 4th one in the last 4 years Triumph America has seen go bad (the bike had 5K miles on it when it stopped working). The parts, labor, and tax are $690. If you see a used one anywhere...
My name is John although my kids and grand kids call me Dadoo. I like to go on long, cross country rides and thought I would try something different than the old Goldwing that has served me well. For several years I have wanted to own an R3T. In the fall of 2016 I found a good deal on a well...
My right side pannier comes off easy - the left side is another story. The center hole in the quarter turn receptacle is all boogered up. Taking the panniers off and putting back on repeatedly for cleaning/maintenance/etc, has caused the center hole to get wallowed out. I have a new part on...
As the title suggests I'm looking for some OEM-like ABS (or preferably fiberglass) saddlebags for my 2015 R3T.
I'm wanting to install a stereo system on my bike, but cringe at the very thought of cutting a hole in my factory panniers. Also, as it turns out, my bike is going to be in the shop...
I bought a used, 2011 R3T with 4100 miles on it. After the first week, the speedo didn't work the first few minutes of the ride, and then it started working again, and has been fine ever since. It has never "swept" when turning on the ignition.
I couple of weeks ago I changed bars, which for...
