    R3 Lessons learned

    Additional note: If you look at my picture, you see the King Leather Tour-Pak from Harley attached. Huge and is very proportional to the big girl. The issue is the problem Harley had. That's why they only put it on the Screeming Eagle bikes one year. Empty, the thing weighs about 40 to 50...

    R3 Lessons learned

    I ran the Kustom Krome BAby Apes 16" for the Harley Springer. I agree about the rigidity issue. They seemed to flex allot a slow speeds. Springer bar Knurled locations come closest to lining up with our R3 handle bar knurled locations.

    R3 Lessons learned

    Lol. I pulled a Roll-a-Home camper with it. You can look at my pics. To be honest, putting the baby apes on it combined with my wife not wanting to ride it anymore due to hip pain drove my decision. Very hard to steer. Looked at a 2011 R3 today. Would like to try the Roadster.

    R3 Lessons learned

    I had my R3T 4 years before selling it. I just wanted to share things I learned along the way. 1. Eastern Beaver pigtail is a must for head lights. 2. Truck-lites led head light and driving lamps Rock! Life changing. 3. Never, never, ever put apes on your rocket and use car tire. To say it...

    R3 deal

    After 4 years of tinkering, I sold my 2008 black/red R3T because my wife just couldn't take the cruiser seat anymore. Ended up with a Victory Vision. Ugly and under powered, but great riding bike. I am looking to get back on an R3. Found a used 2011 Blacked out R3 at local dealer with 12k...

    Trailer Hitch?

    Starting issues.

    When starting cold, no issues. Once the bike is warm, I hear the relay click, but the bike doesn't turn over. I put in gear and release clutch to bump motor to maybe loosen it. When I try starter again, 3 out of 4 times it starts.

    Anyone using Progressive 444 shocks

    Not a Progressive Suspension fan. My first concern came when I put the Progressive shock next to the R3T Shock and it was 1/3 thinner. Me, the wife, and luggage close too 600lbs. Road worse than stock.
