I installed my new Clearview 19" screen. It's 3" taller than and 2" wider than the stock. I opted for the recurve on the screen. Installation was quick. Just need some adjustments for the lower brackets. Let me just say, this screen should be stock on the Rocket. I can hear my...

I now have a short list of necessary improvement to make my R3T a true touring beast. I need an air horn & a custom seat. I've just added the BrakeAway Throttle lock & a taller Triumph windscreen. $209 for the windscreen, $200 for the throttle lock. Both are well worth the money. I can look...

Evening all, is there another R3T owner with a chair fitted that I could discuss experiences with oil steering dampners? I have attached a double chair a month or so ago and am puzzled with problems encountered with the dampner and leading link forks. Regards Carey

Hello, wife and I bought ourselfs a R3T as a Christmas present and have been enjoying it. It's a great ride, needs a little more exhaust noise and wife says a better seat - can't quite last a whole tank before needing a break. Also ride a 73 Commando with Dunstall exhaust, great ride but not...

I have a darkside tire on order. In order for me to get it installed, I have to take the wheel to them to have it done. My problem is lifting the R3T to get the wheel off. I have use of a lift. My concern is with securing the bike while it's up on the lift. I have lifted it before to do...

One of my bulbs burned out in my aux lights. I looked through the install sheet, and couldn't find what type bulb it was. I thought I read somewhere it was an H4 35w bulb. Anyone know which one it is ?:confused: NEvermind. Found it. H3 12v 35w N

All, At the suggestion from pig9r I registered at youtube and have these two sound clips for my cycle with the pricey add on triumph mufflers. I took them with my Powershot digital camera and neither is representative, but maybe you can get an idea: YouTube - MVI 0393 YouTube - Triumph...

I have to trailer the bike to the shop on Thursday and I have never trailered a bike before. Dumb question but what's the best way to trailer it

Since one of my hobbies is photography I'm always looking for better lighting, a different angle, more reflections off the pitch black paint or chrome. Here's another capture, while the bike is still clean & shiny. 1250 miles on the Beast now.

Installed Flip's SS radiator insert yesterday. Before installation I removed the chrome screen, sand blasted it, and painted it black. I'm very happy with the result. Here's a couple of shots after the install. Link Removed Link Removed

I see they have finally added the risers to there site however I am confused now it states they are for the tourer not touring again its the wording thats confusing me I tried to call but they were closed. I may be able to get my answer this way I know on the regular R3s the instrument panel...

I took a 200 mile ride yesterday with the distinct purpose of pushing the limits of the gas tank. Previously I'd ridden 181 miles to where the digital gauge told me I was out of gas. When I filled up, however, I only needed 4.5 gallons to fill up the tank. That tells me the gauge isn't...

I've had my R3T for 12 days now. I've only ridden 5 of those days. 1000 miles this morning !!! This bike continues to impress me. I have since fitted the Long Haul dual seat with the backrest. I have also put on the Triumph front dresser bars with some Kuryakyn offset pegs. I've also...

I have seen on a site the the solo rack requires the chrome fender rail covers however when I go to triumph site it makes no mention nor is it offered so I am a bit confused. the part number it says I need is A9758075 so in the end I am trying to figure out why I would need it if I do in fact...

Anybody got a line on something less expensive? The service manual from triumph is like $90 ! Little expensive for my taste. But I like todo my own service and having the schematics and such is great. Thoughts?? mutt

I managed to get myself an 08 R3T for a fair deal price. This bike simply rocks. I put 100 miles on her today and will get another 300 tomorrow. The ride is rock soild, smooth, and impressed me greatly. I will need to get something to pull pack the bars. The seat is not too supportive...
