    Carbon Fiber Parts

    I make my own. It's not difficult, but you still have to pay for the material.

    Rocket GT Relay Location

    Sorry. Not easily accessible. Thank you, Triumph. I only know where they are as I replaced my subframe and had to pull the whole battery box assembly to do so. They are down low and forward of battery. Pita to work on, if you had to, imo.

    Burried under the batter box.

    Rear Brake Pad Recommendation?

    I'm sure that you already know that 80% of your stopping power is in the front brakes. Personally, I haven't yet thought that I need more rear brake on the R3R, after having master cylinder swapped. I mainly use rear brake in slow speed maneuvers, but when needed for stopping power I have...

    First Impressions - My new Rocket

    As stated by others, the GT bars on a 3R is a common mod for those who want more tiller steering. I'm like you and wanted to go the other way. Unfortunately, due to the design of the Triumph bars (internal wiring and 1 1/4" tube stepping down to 7/8") we only have two options, if you want to...

    Exhaust

    I imagine that it's purely their marketing department being cautious. The GT and R use the same exhaust system. So, if it bolts straight to stock headers and uses stock heat shield, then I can see no reason why I wouldn't fit the R.

    2020 GT Fuel Rail Connector

    Most definitely a tricky task. I remember a few hours of cursing, until I bent some old circlip pliers to do the job.

    Is the rocket a dangerous/unforgiving bike?

    As this is a Rocket forum, you are going to get nothing but glowing reviews and rightly so. The R3 is a very well designed and engineered bike and as a result is very safe, in the right hands. You state that you don't have much experience. Imo, the R3, although you could quite easily ride it...

    Awesome info. Thank you. I searched for ages and got nowhere about six months ago. 🤦‍♂️

    BIGGEST POSSIBLE HEADERS ON ROCKET 2500CC

    Great work on fabbing your own headers. I would love to see some close up pics, please. Are they bends that you bought and stuck together or did you bend tube yourself? There's a backyard gold mine, right there. Start pumping them out. I'm sure that you would get lots of orders from here. The...

    BIGGEST POSSIBLE HEADERS ON ROCKET 2500CC

    Pipes can definitely change the torque curve. I messed around and put a stubby muffler on my VFR. Sounded awesome but lost all mid range, which is what the Viffer is so good at. Ended up putting stock muffler back on.

    Find and post the colour code for R3R Red and I will be in your debt. Cheers.

    GP shift conversion 2025 Rocket 3 GT Storm

    Excellent! I do like people's engineering skills which result in wanted outcome. Well done on finding the Grom lever in the first place, but extra kudos for the work that you have done to make everything work as you want it to. If your bike's not how you want it to be, then make it how you...

    GT Exhaust Heat Sheilds

    Buy leather pants. Sorted. Probably cheaper than heat shields.

    Welcome Chazzie. Where in the Realm do you live? Pics? We all love pics. Stories too. Your previous bikes? Can't help with trans noise, I ride R3R, but someone will chime in I'm sure.
