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
I couldn't stand it anymore. My new bike's been sitting in my garage more than a week without me being able to ride. Arghhh! I finally decided to ride it to work Saturday afternoon. I needed to make a noontime drug prescription pickup and decided to swap vehicles for the return trip to work...
I finally got the time to take my R3T to the dyno yesterday to see how the new Tuneboy tune was working. The results were pretty good, 110HP/140TQ. However the bike was running too lean (approaching 16:1), above 5000 RPMs.
I sent Wayne a copy of the dyno sheet and when I woke up this morning I...
Anyone ever experienced this? Doesn't do it all the time but a lot, rolling slowly to a stop there is a clunka-clunka- clunk noise. Like driveline slop.
Its going to the dealer next week but I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem?
Just throwing this out for discussion.... How feasible would it be to swap out the Touring ECU with.......say a Rocket Classic?
Why do such a thing?? To find all the lost power of course! :D
Would it be an easy swap or wire splice city with questionable reliability?
Oct edition claims R3T "won going away, picked as number one by 3 riders and making all 8 riders top 3 list". :DNot bad from the same publication that did not like the standard.:mad:
Finally got some time to put on a few miles since loading the latest Tuneboy tune for my R3T. All the riding I'd done before today was to 'test' the tunes. That consisted of many zero to 100 mph runs.
On my way out this morning I topped off the tank and quickly calculated that my 'testing' had...
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...
: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...
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!

- You're lucky I'm dressed up tonight, pal!
- Don't make me have to take this windshield off, pal!
- Anyone can run fast naked. Try doing it carrying the groceries, Skippy!
