    Side covers can will fly off

    (A year later... can you tell I haven't been around here much lately?) - yeah, the side panels can fly off. I very nearly lost one due to a malfunctioning grommet. It seems World of Triumph can still sell some, which is a nice surprise (I haven't checked in a while). But yeah, after my scare I...

    Painted front Rim

    The Touring has raw aluminium on the wheels (well, not inside the "spokes", they're covered in something). Aluminium is highly recoverable. Start with 600 grit wetsanding and start grinding - how to polish aluminium is very well documented on the Interwebs, watch some youtube videos. I took the...

    What are the infill panels called and where to order it from?

    Wrong forum, to say the least; check out World Of Triumph | Motorcycle Parts, Clothing & Accessories Worldwide and they have complete parts lists. Just find the parts diagram for the rear end and look at those until you find the bit you need for the R3 GT. Although I can't seem to find the new...

    Who has installed a bigger windshield?

    Clearview will indeed make just the lexan part, made to fit the Rocket Touring brackets. Pick your own height. In my experience, either very high, or pretty low. Medium sucks, all those vortexes around the helmet. Triumph did make a tall Roadster screen (for the Touring, at least on World of...

    Whitewalls, anyone?

    It transforms the bike, in my opinion. The small fat tires make the bike look "dumpy"... whitewalls on there and bang, wheels look much bigger and elevates the whole look in my opinion. Buy some of the whitewall Avon Cobra Chromes. Avon makes outstanding tires, that also looks killer. This pic...

    Cruise control

    A real servo-based cruise is indeed available from mccruise dot com. https://www.mccruise.com/products/triumph-rocket-iii-classic-roadster-and-tourer-new-product-featuring-our-compact-electric-servo?variant=11509853252 Any halfway decent mechanic should be able to install that. I've been...

    Thunderbird handlebar risers on R3T

    I got the Rivcos when I got the bike, which is more years ago than I want to admit. It absolutely transformed the bike from "why am I leaning forward, this sucks" to "****, this is perfection". In my opinion the Touring can really benefit from some kind of riser. Doesn't take much, just a couple...

    lithium battery

    I've had a Shorai 36-L (I think is the designation) in my Touring for years and years. Kept it on a bespoke Shorai charger for literally 2 years when I didn't ride the bike (because reasons). This season I hit the top-up button on the charger, prepped the bike, rolled it out and hit start. Still...

    Anyone have a long haul seat for R3T?

    Aftermarket parts for these fell off the face of the Earth basically the instant they axed the Touring from the lineup. Can't get much anything anymore that isn't bog standard engine parts perhaps. Mustang seats probably still makes theirs (to order); I have one and it's pretty nice. And since...

    Update On My PDM60 Install Disaster & The New Amplink Install R3T

    Meh, a zip tie or two around the frame or some such and job's done, no need for these fancy pants fabbed up brackets. The PDM60 weighs nothing.

    This thing is falling to pieces underneath me...

    What's getting worrying to me is just finding parts. Us Touring riders were always a minority, and looking at WorldOfTriumph more and more stuff is just not available in their very detailed web shop. I believe I just saw a fellow who lost his side panel (not unheard of because they're stupidly...

    Want to Buy 140 cubic inch oil tank embellisher

    Yeah, the bottom left looks like mine. I used my IT nerd skills and created the black insert in a simple 3D program and had it 3D printed at Shapeways, for something like $20. Of course it comes just black, so there was some arts and crafts - bright silver paint or a silver art pen...

    Throttle Adjustment Question after installing MC Cruise Control

    They mean "Touring". If you look at the pictures in the "Tourer" section and look at the switch cubes that are visible where they show the image of the MCCruise controls, you can see they're very distinctly Touring switch cubes. The "Tourer" model was just a variant of the normal R3 with the 240...

    Well that was a wasted afternoon!..Riser Install.

    2 inches back isn't that big a difference, on a Touring you don't really lean forward anyway without them, you're just in just so much forward lean that it gets annoying and you feel a little perched over the tank. 2 inches back for me at least was perfect, could straighten the back and let my...

    Well that was a wasted afternoon!..Riser Install.

    Seems to be a big hassle on the ABS bikes. My 2010 just needed to reroute the clutch next to the triple tree (though I picked up new custom cables a while later to route them properly.)

    Loose mirrors

    Buy the universal mirror adapters from newbonneville.com and get Harley mirrors. The plethora of choices is mind blowing. I got normal shorter stem Kuryakyn Magnums. The Touring handlebars are pretty **** wide so you don't really need the gigantic mile-long stems of the originals that, to quote...

    Effect of windshield

    I think some amount of this "feeling a lot slower" is psychological also. I mean, sure, a big shield will catch more wind than even a rider, especially if the rider crouches down some, which will no doubt affect speeds and acceleration at higher speeds but going 120 km/h with a shield is a nice...

    Auto Trader 2017 Bike Awards

    Always nice to see Triumph win awards, but I'm fairly confident this isn't R3 Touring forum material. :)

    Observations From a New Owner

    And get more chrome! :) You can get chrome covers for the passenger footplates, and chrome frame covers to hide the ugly exposed frame behind the engine.

    Observations From a New Owner

    Congrats on the new bike, looks great, looks like a Corbin top box on there. Those are pricey. When you get the Cobras, get the whitewalls. Should look fantastic with all that red. The Rivco risers made all the difference for my Touring also (keep in mind there are two styles of those out...
