When I decided to buy my Classic 3 weeks ago, I specifically asked the dealer (North Coast Motorcycle), more specifically the owner (Mark Moses) about the bearing problem. His reply was that they'd had 3 Rockets with some type of problem in the final drive and that Triumph had replaced the entire final drive. I guess I'll wait and see. I don't think I'll ever explore the limits of the R3. I'm too old for that much of an adrenaline surge. However, I will most likely replace the Kitty litter box as right now the bike sounds quite a bit like my lawnmower and the popping when you chop the throttle is annoying. I got rid of the popping on my T100 by enlarging the mains and adding a shim to the needle. I imagine it's easier to play with a carbureted engine though.
Sorry I bet I caused it to be gone. Back some time ago I went through my picture album and deleted some. I probably deleted that one which caused a problem with this thread. Blame it on the Blonde!
any chance of seeing that picture again.
or better yet, how much for the plans for the hitch?
looking to put one on my 08 classic.
can't put one on the girlfriends bike. think she would kill me if I even suggested it. lol.
A couple of other forum members Boogerdave and Gunshots also have trailer hitches installed. Check out the pics they have posted and try PMing for pics
