Hi y'all, Website newbie here; wow, lottsa great information. This is really cool ! I am 6'4" putting together a 2009 R3T and looking for straight up risers to increase the height by about 4inches. The handlbar digs into my thigh during tight turns and needs to be raised so that my legs...

2008 Rocket III Touring on EC997 dyno. Stock exhaust with baffles drilled - stock cats in silencers. K&N under-seat filter. 87 Octane pump fuel. TuneEdit tuning. All runs in 4th gear to keep out of speed limiter at higher rpm. Blue - As delivered - Modified 20233 tune. Would not hold a load...

I thought you guys might be interested to see what the Touring looks all dressed up. It’s a good example of a Captain let loose with a little money and no talent. In addition to what you see, I’ve got the K&N pods, Tuneboy 138hp tune, D&D slip-ons, Stebel airhorn, & Autocom communication system...

Does anyone have a link to a digital version of the Touring model's owner's manual? I found the link for the standard Rocket III in one of the other forums, but can't find a link for the touring model. I just bought a 2008 Rocket III Touring yesterday and the dealer couldn't find the owner's...

I'm already past the minimum serviceable spec on my front and rear stock rotors. I was looking at replacing them and just as I thought, Triumph wants an arm and leg for them. $290.35 each. for the fronts and $233.88 for the rear. Well screw that... EBC has contoured rotors that fit the...

Hi, just got my r3 tourer, VERY HAPPY, just not sure about seat? Anyone else think it could be better? Bob.

I'm looking for an optional seat that offers more comfort for my wife and I. We rode a couple of hundred miles yesterday. Near the end of the ride she started complaining of discomfort. She wants a new seat that's wider. The Triumph web site has a Longhaul Touring Seat with a rider's seat...

Hello all together, i try to do my best to introduce myself in English. I think i, am one of the first Touring rider´s in Germany. I,ve got the black & white one since April 2008, a replacement for a Kawasaki VN1500 Nomad. The Nomad will be customized. Age 44, married ,two Daughters, soldier...

Hello all! Picked up a new 08 black and white Touring last week. My last bike was an ST1300 which was a good bike but I started checking out the Rocket and I was hooked. Think this one is a keeper! Taking it in tomorrow for the 600mi service. Cant wait to get it out on the highway. Ive...

Dealer loaned me an '08 Touring while my '06 Classic remains in the shop for more repairs (long story). Initial impressions: 1. Touring almost has as much pull in 1, 2, 3 as my Classic. At highway speeds in 5th gear, the Classic has more grunt. 2. Throatier exhaust note on the Touring. I...

Hi guys, I asked this once before, but thought I'd ask again in case someone had seen a development. For those of you riding two-up, does your passenger have issues with the rear dresser bars digging in their calf ? She's not happy, so I'm not happy ! Regards, Pete

Anybody want to buy a Vulcan 1500? I was out of riding for 25 years and knew the Kawi dealer. Bought the 1500 FI, added pipes and intake and had a really great ride this summer to Sturgis. I almost got sold on the HD and decided I had to find out just how top heavy the R3 is. It's not. Sits...

Compliments of GPMAZ. Some dyno tweaking to get 117 HP and 138 lb ft.

1. Has anyone changed pipes on RIII Touring to get louder and/or add HP? 2. What's the best all-weather cover for the Touring, Dowco XX Large? :cool: Fishbein

Any of you have engine guards? Bought them, but haven't put them on yet, not sure if they'll look good or too bulky, but good protection eh? Anyone in the Washington, DC area? Up for a ride this Sunday, maybe to the mountains? Fishbein :cool:

Got an 08 Rocket III Touring Black/White I love it!! Problem w/ digital tach read. Replacing it under warranty. Been riding Hondas for 20 years, but went for the Triumph this time b/c I was so impressed with the Rocket III. Few questions: 1. It's Ok that Triumph will not reset the odometer...

Hi Guys, I can officially stop lurking now, coz my black and white Touring has arrived at the dealers:). Classy looking color scheme. Took me ages to decide between the Classic and Touring, but at 6'7" the Touring space was better set up for me(and the size 14s fit well on the boards.) My last...

Hello, I just joined this list; I've just sold my Moto Guzzi EV and I am considering a Rocket III Touring. My next step is to find a dealer for a demo ride, not so easy since I'm in NYC. The Touring model looks like it will suit my needs. I'm looking for a reliable ride, that won't cost...
