    Shanefish. New Zealand. Gearbox problems.

    Geez shanefish tough break. I had a similar experience once, lost 5th gear on an old Yamaha while going to school (no time to fix it myself). Turned out to be a broken shifter in the gear box. A couple of hours work, a few small parts, and back in businesses again ! It was a cheap fix in my...

    2014 R3r Wind Shield With Mounting Hardware

    Rides great and I'm 5ft 7in. The top of the screen is just a bit below my eyes but the wind slip stream passes over with no noticeable wind to the face or helmet. I'd have preferred a detachable windshield (Triumph doesn't have one for the 2005 apparently) but once installed you can see it's...

    Confused about sissy bar and backrest pad

    Hello mully95 I just ordered the short sissy bar/luggage rack but it's on back order at the local dealer. The pad part that did come in for it is like your picture on the right... aka http://www.r3owners.net/attachments/backrest-jpg.6807/ Still waiting to find out what it'll look like though.

    2014 R3r Wind Shield With Mounting Hardware

    I hear you Giant Jumbo, I just paid $549.99 for the 18 inch screen plus $99.99 for the front end fixing kit for a total of $ 649.98 Canadian or roughly $631 USD. Mind you it looks great and my neck is a lot warmer now in this fall weather. :D I own a 2005 R3 and you get about 2 inches or so of...

    BACKREST PAD Standard or Touring

    Hope you find/found what you're looking for Laurent. I just got the Classic Backrest Pad part A9708177 and personally like the looks of it. The backrest was made in Italy and packaged in the United Kingdom then sent to Canada for me to purchase... Heck this thing has almost as many miles on it...

    This location is just north of Victoria B.C. Canada. The bike came with cat by-pass and a K&N filter. More tweaking to follow.

    hello from central wyo

    Quote "the brits had the balls to build something so different!" I agree but have seen some strange stuff on u tube, radial engine motorbikes, V8 bikes, etc.... etc. I don't own a bagger but am thinking of bags, sissy bar and windshield. To each his own right. Look forward to more posts...

    Only two stars?

    I had a "V rod" with the 240 back tire and a bit more front tire rake that was close to the Rocket 3 for haddleing IMHO, but this Rocket 3 is a bigger motorbike. Had the kids and parents (75 yrs old ) out for a slow ride and had to pay close attention to the clutch/corners and cars but...

    Hello from Canada !

    Just bought a Rocket 3 and am real happy with it. Had many motorbikes and enjoyed them all but this ones in it's own class. This 2005 with low miles ( km's ) runs clean and feels/looks like a new bike. Frankly I fell proud to drive this solid motorbike. This bike gets a lot of attention and...
