I have an 09 touring with triple K&N Jardines and a map from Wayne that was modified. What kind of mileage are others getting with this setup. I am getting 23 to 30 miles per gallon is this normal?
In the model year 2009 and up, Harley put a wider rear tire on all of their touring bikes. This tire is a "dual compound tire." Harder in the center and softer on the sides. The tire is made by Dunlop. The size is 180X65/16. Ours are 180X70/16. Anyone looked at this tire? Would going from a 70...
My Metzlers were nearly bald with 13,000 miles on the front and 10,500 miles on the rear. I had to replace the OEM rear at 2500 miles when it was punctured picking up a nail. I looked around on the internet for a longer lasting tire and came across the new Michelin Commander II which is claimed...
I am looking to buy just the right side only, Triumph stock oval mirror with the drilled stem.
Its for my R3T.
If anyone has one they are willing to part with let me know how much you want for it.
This is a picture of the left side. So I need the matching right side.
Thanks Mac
I was at my dealer today on an unrelated matter. While there, I looked at a brand new all Black 2012 R3T siting on the show room floor. Yes,,,,it has anti lock brakes. I put my hand on the control module located under the frame next to the CAT box. The bike also had ABS sensor wheels on the...
Returning from a 350 mile run today, downshifted into 4 gear, engine roared when trying to accelerate but gear obviously not engaging. Then this happened with 2 gear. Had to cover the last 50 miles with 1 3 and 5 gear. Also its not now showing neutral.
Bike is a 2008 touting model with 15000...
I've finally saved up my money and decided to fork a chunk of it over to upgrade my 2008 R3T (41K) to full dresser. :D
On order:
Hoope Industries Quadzilla Fairing with upgraded stereo and chrome upgrades - $2500
Tsukayu Touring Trunk with luggage rack - $710
Upgraded GPS Garmin Zumo 660...
Taking 10 pieces of chrome to PowderTech Plus Inc. to be powder coated this Saturday. Was told they are on a 2 week time schedule - very excited and can't wait to see the results. Once these come back and I put the bike back together I will have to see what else may need a touch of powder. :cool:
I will be soon posting to Ebay the following items - Passing lamp visors, Headlamp visor, Rear fender rail and the Pannier rails all from a 2010 R3T. Though I haven't verified it I feel confident these will fit other years as well. When I post to Ebay I will post a link here and in the...
Anybody got any idea what I should/could ask? It is an 08' with almost 20k miles. It has new tires front and rear with less than 300 miles on them. An Avon on the front and a Darkside (altimax Hp) on the back.
It is set up for solo riding now but I have the original seat, sissy bar, and...
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a set of passenger floorboards other than going to the dealer or bike bandit? I've been looking at ebay and searching for motorcycle salvage yards with no luck so far. I bought my '08 R3T set up as a solo bike and the previous owner removed the...
I have had my R3T for two seasons. Its a unique bike. I came to it in recent years from sport touring/adventure type bikes (ST1100, V-Strom 1000, Moto Guzzi Norge, K1200Rsport, R1200GS, FJR 1300 to name a few). I am surprised how well I like it. I look forward to participating in the forum.
Well, I had another one come off today. :mad:
Out for a little ride and on the last 10 miles from home, I coming up through the reservation. On a nice two lane road had a little car tailing me as we passed slower moving traffic. Finally decided to put some room between myself and the little...
For those with an R3T, how much free play do you have in your top yoke? If you grab the bar ends and lift, how much movement do you get?
I've read that the top yoke can fail, resulting in excess play. I have about 1/2 inch movement measured at the bar ends. Also, for those that can check, do...
Has anyone here removed the visors from their headlamp and passing lamp trim rings? if so, how did you do it? If not, does anyone here know if the visor can be removed from the lamp trim ring?
I have been looking about for a clear tank protector at the seat but I haven't been able to find one yet for the Tourer :(
If anyone has any info let me know please.
:bch: Guys
I have now owned my new 011 R3T for just over six months, but have only 3,000 miles on the bike due to a super hot summer. After purchasing the bike, I began to wonder why a bike I liked so much could be a dead seller in the states.
Coming off of a late model six speed Harley Street Glide, at...
