I have been slowly modifying my R3R, Ruby.
Triumph have designed a fantastic bike, but for me all that torque makes me want a better riding position.
To that end I have changed the seating position and handlebars resulting in a much more upright riding position. The bike has been transformed...
Hey guys! My Rockett iii is still in the shop 😞. In the meantime I have my Magna, but not super comfortable for the wife. Did some dealing and wheeling an acquired a new bike lol. It's an 2010 Honda Stateline 1300. Super clean only 3K on it. Terrible ride, not for me. So a local dealership has...
In case anyone is looking for R3T risers, there is an alternative! I believe it has been brought up on this forum in an older post. I just got a pair of Rivco risers that were for Thunderbird. Part # TB017.
Went on, no issues. Used the OEM bolts. Brake hose rerouted
I just bought a 13 roadster to keep my 12 Thunderbird from getting lonely
I've wanted a Rocket for a long time and I'm looking forward the spring when I can get out and ride my new bike!
I just bought one, but they only seem to list one at a time in Aussie $ or Euros on different eBays. They have listed, sold and re-listed these before. As one sells like mine he cancels the other currency listing.
Aussies have to pay a flat 10% GST on item and postage. Some listings include in...
Is there any new or updated info on a new model T/bird? I heard something about the name and engine size had been re registered with some US dept which suggested another may be on the way.
Im hoping it will be as eye catching as the new R3
I finally found a set of Rivco risers and compared the rise and pull back of the three. The Rivco is about 1/2”” more rise than the Thunderbird risers. When on the top yolk they are actually the same lift, but move the bars that 1/2” closer to the rider. I went for a ride this evening to test...
SOLD 8/5/2020. Full Price. Husband and Wife. Husband wanted TBS. Wife saw my Moto Guzzi and fell in love. They bought my MG 1200 Sport too.
Selling my 1998 Thunderbird Sport 900. I have owned it for 10 years. Well cared for during my ownership and recently updated with a major service...
Here fitted flat to back of an R3 Classic.
That Leather bag is the small version for the Thunderbird Storm etc, and is meant for sissy bar /rack mount as used on the 'Longhaul' type rack pattern found on R3Ts, Americas and Thunderbirds, but in different widths and part numbers not all...
For those who are looking for a Passenger Backrest Pad to fit the round bar, here is one on eBay
NEW Triumph Thunderbird Backrest And Bracket T2335993, T2335994 BLACK | eBay
So, I bought the factory sissy bar and rack for the Roadster and after getting it all mounted up I stepped back and looked at it. :(
The side brackets were too wide for the sissy bar...the tubing was square (I think it's the only square parts on the bike)...and that pad was a joke. There had to...
Hi guys,
Does anyone have a Thunderbird or a Thunderbird rear light?
I'm not a fan of the chrome... frame?... around the R3 rear light and the Thunderbird seems to have the same 3 mounting holes and general teardrop shape the R3 does.
If anyone knows the dimensions, or even better has a...
hey people just put a set of 2012 thunderbird storm shocks on the back of my 2014 roadster .Now the right side fit straight on but the left bottom eyelet is to big so u will have to modify the new eyelet bottom rubber .I drilled out the thunderbird rubber at the bottom and pushed the standard...
I stopped by a Harley dealer 2 days ago just looking around. Ran into a Triumph/Ducati Salesman that I had previously;spoke to about selling my Thunderbird (Outright no trade). He was now working at HD. So here's the deal. They will write me a check $9,000 for the 'BIRD if I finance a bike. I'm...
This is for all of you who have experience from both. My wife rides a Sportster but want to ride a Thunderbird Night Storm instead. How would you describe the diffences between Thunderbird and Rocket.
I´m asking because its difficault to find a Thunderbird to test but I have a Rocket.
TIA
Out today and decided I would find out the top speed in 1st gear and after that I decided to do 2nd and 3rd also. First topped out at 50mph which I thought was pretty good for a cruiser (tall 1st for a cruiser). Second was 75 hit the rev limiter at 6,500. Third was 97. Not bad as it pulls well...
