    Want to Buy KEYLESS IGNITION WANTED

    I just installed DEcosse’s keyless system. The unit is beautifully constructed. The instructions pdf is easy to follow and should answer any questions. Just plug it in, tie it all up and it functions perfectly. Installation takes less than hour. Rolls

    Clutch Cable Length Pictures...Rivco

    I just ordered clutch and throttle cables from Barnett over the phone. Just tell the salesman 1,2,whatever” over stock and she says, “It’ll ship in four days.”

    Thanks Claviger! I was sitting here hoping you’d make it all better. Little trip to Arkansas happening next week. Cheers, Rolls

    knocking /slapping noise ..revisited / SOLVED...

    I’ve noticed the knocking on hills when I hit the hill and don’t change the throttle. A throttle increase (higher rpm) and the knocking stops. I downloaded the Touring Tune by Nels and always run premium fuel. I also installed the Ramair filter last winter and at first I thought it might be just...

    Starting to have some hip pain issues

    I feel your pain. I’m 59 and for years my right hip could barely take five hours sitting in a car. I started riding my bicycle and my hip flexibility has really improved. Pain’s gone and I can mount my motorcycle without leaning to get my leg over. It’s tough getting started, but worth it. I...

    The real problem with the starter relay - starter mod issue

    Thanks, I’m on it! I always wonder if, just because my bright idea seems to work, it may not be such a bright idea.

    The real problem with the starter relay - starter mod issue

    Fun read. Hey DEcosse, when I doubled my ground cable to the engine block and installed the Eastern Beaver kit (plus a larger starter) to solve my cold starting issue, I found that too many wires were piling up on the ground post of the battery. Using my giant brain, I found a convenient bolt on...

    Touring Trunk

    Petunia wanted a seat backrest, so now I have a seat backrest. This is a KTP Extra Large King Tour Pack from Nasty Hog Motorcycle Parts Co ($499) mounted on a Wompus rack. The quality of the trunk is good enough for the price and feels solid on the rack. It’s unlined and I’ll add seal stripping...

    Hello all, from new R3T owner in UK.

    Welcome! If you’re like me, you’ll start out with the most responsible of intentions. But, eventually you crank open the throttle a little, you know, just to see what all the fuss is about. Then you discover second gear. Now every time I pull out I instinctively look hard in the mirror to see if...

    Inexpensive Starter Replacement

    “Watch so that you do not lose spring and ball.” Missed that part and had to initiate the “upset recovery” procedure (as usual). I also doubled the negative cable and installed the Eastern Beaver relay kit. That starter’s a beast. Now she starts like a champ! Do this cheap easy mod, you will...

    So I helped a guy pick up his Triumph Rocket 3 in a parking lot... (just venting)

    He was just embarassed as hell and had already run away in his mind. Or, he’s a dick. Thanks for the post. It led to Wrecka’s video of how to pick up a dropped bike. I may (probably) need that some day.
