  1. Thunderbird Speedo/Tach

    Has anyone tried using the speedo/tach from a Thunderbird? Someone has a few of them on ebay for $100 each. I know they're the same size but, I'm not sure how we could make the electrical connections and if we could get all the other warning lights and fuel gauge to work. JR

  2. 2005 Rocket

    I have an 05 with 27,000 miles and no problems. I've purchased a Touring model and am now looking to sell my 2005 standard if you're interested. If you read of all the problems some have had you'll probably run as far away as possible. But I also think they must be ramdom. It seems the...

  3. Front Tire

    Has anyone tried installing a small front tire? I noticed there's 120/80/17 that I think would mount up. I'm wondering if it might look too small or make the bike handle worse instead of better. It seems my R3 rides stiff over bumps in the highway. I was thinking that lowering the unsprung...

  4. YSS suspension for the R3T

    Does anyone know if the rear shocks on the R3 tourer are the same as the optional shocks Triumph was selling to improve the ride of the R3 standard?

  5. Corbin Seat Poor Fit

    I recently purchased a Corbin Touring seat but, the side bracket doesn't match up with the seat bracket. It's about a 1/2" to short. Has anyone experienced this?

  6. Stuck Touring Seat

    Pushing down on the front worked. I had the rear loose and then pushed down on the front, heard a click and then I was able to turn the key a little more and like magic the seat lifted off. I tried it a few more times. It seems on my bike I have to loosen the rear first and then push down on...

  7. Oil???

    Oil I like the specs of Rotella 5w40 full syn. After researching oils a few years ago I discovered that there really are differences in motor oil. Most auto companies recommend light weight oils so they can claim higher mpgs. and less emissions from using oils with less lubricating qualities...

  8. Signal Minder

    I have had one for over 2 years and it works perfectly. I use the running lights as well as the 4 ways and never had a problem. It's a simple plug in with a couple of wire taps and that's it.

  9. Deceleration Popping

    Just wondering if anyone has been able to remove decel popping using JARS and a PC III? I had TORS with the PC III and had no popping. I changed my MAP to match the JARS but still have a little popping if I let the engine slow the bike down. If I leave bike in 5th gear while braking there...

  10. Rivco Exhaust Flange Covers

    Will the Rivco chrome exhaust flange covers fit the Jardine header system?

  11. Jardines

    Thanks to everyone who responded. What else can be said. This has to be one of the most loved add ons. I only have one last question. Do they fit using Corbin bags?

  12. Jardines

    I'm seriously considering purchasing the Jardines for my Rocket. Does anyone have any issues with them? I've read about some fit problems which don't seem to be too much of an issue. I'd appreciate any comments. I now have TORS and an empty cat box.

  13. Jardines

    I was wondering if anyone knew how much more horsepower the JARS produce over the TORS using the PCIII.

  14. Jardines

    Does anyone know how much our R3s benefit from JARS using a PCIII over TORS with the PCIII?

  15. Misfireing at Idle

    Misfire at Ilde Well, I took my bike back to the dealer and they found the problem. A vacuum cap had blown off one of the throttle bodies. So, of course with this missing the engine created a slight miss at idle. Everything is fine again. Also, it's been about 500 miles now with the new MAP...
