  1. 2008 Rocket III Touring - Stock Mufflers

    We haven't been able to hook up yet.

  2. 2008 Rocket III Touring - Stock Mufflers

    Foolishly, I got rid of them early on, before I really took some long rides on the bike (2,500 miles in one case) and realized I wasn't getting used to the noise like I thought I might. I'm not going to continue to ride a bike if I'm not comfortable on it. Life's too short.

  3. 2008 Rocket III Touring - Stock Mufflers

    Some of us march to the beat of a different drummer. There is nothing wrong with the accessory mufflers. I simply do not like the volume. I have always used the stock mufflers in my past bikes but this time I decided to try them because I was told they just have a "low rumble". To each his...

  4. 2008 Rocket III Touring - Stock Mufflers

    I replaced the stock mufflers on my 2008 R3T with the Triumph accessory mufflers and now I wish I had kept the stock mufflers. I want to replace the accessory mufflers I have now with stock mufflers. Does anyone have stock mufflers that will fit my R3T that they'd be willing to swap for my...

  5. Speaker Hookup - 2008 R3T

    The tech told me he used a wire off the ignition itself. I haven't had a chance to lift up the tank to take a look.

  6. Speaker Hookup - 2008 R3T

    Not really. I'm taking it in to my dealer to do the wiring.

  7. Speaker Hookup - 2008 R3T

    I'm installing J&M speakers on my R3T and the installation is easy enough except for connection to a "switchable" power source on the bike. I've also installed the auxilliary lights so that connection is taken. Any suggestions how to make this switchable connection would be appreciated.

  8. Lifting the tank - 2008 R3T

    Thanks for the help!

  9. Lifting the tank - 2008 R3T

    I've searched the posts here that reference removing (lifting) the tank. They said to remove the "allen head bolt" under the "gauges". However, I removed the bear claw with the display and there is no allen head bolt (or any other bolts). There are however, two Torx head screws, one on each...

  10. Bar Snake

    Barsnake - How To For those of you interested in how to use the liquid Barsnake to reduce the vibrations you may be feeling in your handlebars, here's how it needs to be done. CAUTION: Don't even try this unless you're willing to remove the bars completely from the bike. This means removing...

  11. Bar Snake

    Way ahead of you... I had the bike checked over by the dealer who found nothing wrong. Others on this forum have also had the same issue at high revs.

  12. Bar Snake

    Barsnake Works! I just completed adding liquid Barsnake to my R3T's handlebars. I then took it for a test ride. This stuff works great! It feels as if 80-90% of the vibrations in the bars have been eliminated. The bike is so much more of a pleasure to ride now. I couldn't post any...

  13. Fuel Gage Problem

    Mine has the same issue... I purchased a new 2008 several weeks ago. I noticed right away that whenever I filled it up, it took awhile to get back to the full mark and after staying there a few miles it would drop like a stone to between 3/4 and 1/2 full. However, I've learned to ignore it...

  14. Handlebar Riser Install

    The website states a "minor" rerouting of the cables is required. What kind of rerouting was done? Thanks.

  15. R3T corbin fleetliner trunk $999

    An inexpensive alternative... I too had been eyeing the corbin trunk but was put off by the cost. I have the quick release sissy bar installed and a luggage rack and decided to get a sissy bar bag. It has all kinds of compartments and sits on the rack, secured to the sissy bar. It's big...
