Is it worthwhile and possible to install the new ABS brake system which is on the new 2011 Rocket on the ones without? Thanks.

I got them odered when my dealer had a 20% off sale so I saved about $100 USD. I promptly installed them myself and fired the Rocket up to hear them. Nice and deep tone to them but not too loud. On March first the weather permitted me to test ride with the new mufflers in place and once again...

Think I have read somewhere that the T-bird risers are a straight swap on to the R3T using the T-bird bolts (even though they bolt up from under the yoke). Has anybody here done this conversion? I have fitted the Roadster bars and the right position for me is almost there, just need a little...

For those of you that are riding '09 and up R3T's what grade of fuel are you using? My dealer told me I need to use 91 octane, but I am not sure if thats neccesary as the engine is not high compression and its stock. Are you all running on 87 octane?

HI all, new to the site, I traded-in my 03 VTX1300 for a 09 Rocket lll Touring bike this past October. I didn't get much riding in before winter set in, so I cant wait for spring. WOW what a bike never rode anything like it:)

I was shopping for tires and happened to notice this. Will this work for our R3T's ? Dunlop Elite 3 Touring Radial Rear Tire - Cruiser Motorcycle - Motorcycle Superstore

Hi All New bike, new technology, new to forums. Been reading up on items with interest. Thought I had loads of questions but seems everybody has already been there and done that.

Is the shaft drive spline gear on the R3t the same as on the Standard? Can you put the fat tire from the Roadster under the Touring Rocket?:)

I checked out two makes of "batwing" style stereo equipped fairings for the Rocket III Touring. The Hoppe Quadzilla is a quick detchable using the fork mounting points of our quick-detach windshield. List price is$1695.95 USD, but I priced some extras including the gloss black paintjob and my...

I'm thinking of moving up to an 08 Tourer from an 02 Honda Shadow Sabre. Going to look at it Friday. Are there any specific things I should look for? Do most of you pull your own maintenance? Are parts and accessories easy to find? Are there after market exhaust pipes available that are...

I am the excited owner of a new 2010 R3T - picked her up from the showroom on the 11th of December; which coincidently is my wifes birthday - so guess what she got for her birthday??? You guessed it - an R3T and she is absolutely thrilled with it. Anyway we are lovin' the R3T - her name is...

I am looking for a TuneECU map for R3T with Jardines underseat filter (K&N) Can't locate one on the site. Any help would be appreciated

Okay, so I've decided on used R3 Touring model and if all goes well I should be getting one in a couple of weeks (Yeeehaaa...chomping at the bit!!!). Before I go all in and do this... I have a question about the exhaust sound. Of all the downside features of the R3 (Touring or otherwise) for...

Got rid of the Yamaha 1300 tourer for a brand new 2011 R3T Blk/Wht about a month ago. Liked the Yamaha and have owned several, but love the R3T. Lots more power and easier to ride. I have read several threads on the forums and learned a lot about upgrading the bike for sound and performance...

The Rocket started jumping out of gear Sunday. Just happened every now and then. Annoying! Yesterday road it to work. It would jump out of second, fourth and third. Would go into neutral (or false neutral) when shifting 1-2 or 2-1, 3-4 or 4-3, 4-5 or 5-4. Once in gear, I would be driving along...

I have an 08 R3T with TORS and underseat K&N. I have downloaded theTORS tune with secondaries at 100%. I would like to go to the next step with pod filters. My question is, I read somewhere there are pod filters for trhe R3T that do not require removing or modifing the bear claw. Anyone...

The December issue of Baggers Magazine contains a feature length test of the R3T, garnered over a 3,300 mile trip. The review is very objective and positive. the only real drawbacks identified were the heavy throttle and lack of cruise control and the lack of ABS, while noting the very...

Just got the backrest, luggage rack and all hardware. Ordered through my dealer's website on Thursday, received a week later. Lots 'o pieces... a bit like IKEA.

Traded a VFR (my 3rd) on a 2009 R3T in August and could not be happier. Great as expected on the 400 mile day but perfectly manageable as a commuter into Boston as well. I have not seen another on the road yet...

Guys: I'm in discussions with a company about making some liners for our R3T hard bags. While they haven't asked, I'm wondering how many here might be interested in a set of such liners. Any interest?
