    R3T Fairings

    I commented earlier on the Hoppe Fairing and to follow up on your comment regarding top speeds. I purchased my R3T in Midland Texas and I live in NJ. I had the Hoppe Quadzilla fairing painted and shipped to Triumph dealer in Midland so I could listen to music on the ride back to NJ. I hit speeds...

    R3T Fairings

    Winter has not come so figured would add a comment. I have a Hoppe Quadzilla Fairing on my R3T and I'm very happy with it. Prior to purchasing my R3T I rode a Yamaha Stratoliner with Hoppe fairing and both were great. Also Hoppe personnel are always available during business hours to speak with...

    Recommended Exhaust Modifications for Sound

    I'm a new R3T owner and slowly adding things to get the bike to where I want it. I'm happy with the stock power, acceleration, etc. so not looking to make my 13'R3T faster but I would like pipes with a sound that matches the appearance of the bike.

    Another New Rocket III Touring Owner

    Flew from NYC to Midland, TX to pick up a 2013 R3T (miles were low a price was right!) then rode 3,000 miles back to NY. I managed to get in scenic rides on journey home: The Three Sisters-TX, Natchez Trace Parkway-MS, Cherahola Skyway, Tail of the Dragon and Blue Ridge Parkway-NC and Skyline...

    Yamaha rider - considering a new Rocket III - would like advice

    Until a couple of weeks ago I rode an 1800cc Yamaha Stratoliner. If you can ride a large bike slowly and control it then go for the R3. If not invest in a riding class or padding so you don't scratch up the bike in traffic! LOL!
