  2. LED Rear Turn Signal Lamps

    I replaced the Triumph OEM rear turn signal lamps with Drag Specialists 2" Amber LED (model 20200280) bulbs. It was quite easy to remove the gasket and rear turnsignal socket from the OEM turn signal housing. The Drag Specialists 2" amber LED panel installed easy into the OEM gasket. Depending...

  3. Avon Cobra Rear

    I just had my fourth (OEM, then Stones, then Metzlers) set of tires installed after 17.7K miles; a couple weeks back. Decided to have Avon Cobras installed. Have about 500 miles on them so far and really like them. After 'cupping' my Metz tires, I've pumped up the tire pressure to 37 front/42...

  4. Kisan

    I initially started off with the Kisan tailBlazer bulb on my R3T. I wanted a brighter bulb in the tail lamp. I was not happy with the brightness and it seemed like it was more 'directional' in its light pattern (maybe its just me). So I gave it to a buddy that rides and R3C and I bought and...

  5. Adjure Headlamp

    I too had a 'fogged' lens. I was able to use some tools to clean the inside of the lens. It is much better but I too would like to replace the chrome plated plastic headlamp reflector with a glass unit. Is the Adjure unit a glass or plastic reflector?

  6. Fairing for touring model (r3t)

    Fairing for Rocket III Touring (R3T) According to Corbin, they apparently think their Fleetliner Fairing will work with the Triumph OEM 4.5" aux lamps. I had to straighten out their rep (via email) Sergio that the aux lamps he referenced was for the non Touring model. I also inquired about a...

  7. R3T Tire Pressure

    I agree with the 36 PSI in the front and 41 PSI rear. When I received the new Metz tires, somehow I also received an update to the owners manual too.

  8. Tail Light

    I agree. The OEM tail and brake lamp are pitiful. Same issue for the front headlamp. On the front, I've added (like most) the PIAA Xtreme Blue (H4) lamp. Much better. Also added this same type lamp to the driving lamps (H3). On the rear, I added some chrome bracketry and Chris Products...

  9. I Want a Tach for my R3T

    I too am interested in adding a tach to my R3T. Like you, I've kind of focused on the Dakota Digital. The small (2 1/16") round tach looks great I think. The large (3 3/8") tach is too large for me. They are programable from 1 to 15 cylinders so they should work without a problem I believe...

  10. 10k service

    I did the 10K maintenance this past June and it ran me $535 whch also included an oil change. They needed to adjust seven valves according to the dealership. I will say it ran better and was also quieter after the valve adjustment.

  11. Wiring diagram?

    This link to the Triumph bulletin section, but it doesn't contain the wiring schematic you're looking to get. http://www.triumphmotorcycles.com/media/en-US/XC_OHB_US.pdf Good luck!

  12. Recent upgrades to my R3T

    Here is short list of improvments/additions I've done to my R3T: Replaced OEM front amber single element (type 1156) amber turnsignal lamps with amber dual element (type 1157) L.E.D. running / turn signal lamps(Chris Products). Needed two load equalizers too. New lamps nearly identical match...

  13. 10k service

    Ouch! I got my R3T back a couple weeks ago from the 10K maintenance/service. I had Triumph Detroit do the aforementioned work (including oil & filter change too) and it ran me $550. Apparently I had seven valves that needed adjustment (loose)! While I wasn't prepared for a bill that much...

  14. Tail Light

    Aux Rear LED lamps and Kisan tailBlazer I purchased an additional set of red aux lamps from Chris Products for the L.E.D. rear of my R3T. I also added a bright LED brake lamp. I then tied them together by using a tailBlazer (from Kisan) in the rear. The affect is much more light from the...

  15. New Triumph chrome for R3T

    In case anyone is looking to add some new bling to your R3T, Triumph has developed two new pieces for the T-Bird that fit perfectly on the R3T. The Instrument Visor-Chrome (p/n A9730610) and Front Brake Caliper Caps-Chrome (p/n A9730642). Just installed both tonight on my R3T. They fit...
