    Replacement Rear Shocks

    Can anyone tell me how the R3T handles when you lower the bike a little? I stretch to touch the ground with one foot (inseam = 28 inches) and am looking to lower. But I want to know how this would affect the handling. We have a 2013 R3T. I realize we have to consider the kickstand as well...

    This is the new one.

    That Scrambler is absolutely awesome looking!!! Enjoy the ride. We were at a Triumph Rally here in Pennsylvania last June and saw a Scrambler in person for the first time and fell in love with it. Until I saw the Rocket (which we immediately bought!!) I was looking into the Triumph Tiger...

    Headset Communications

    Again, I would like to thank all for your input. We have ordered the Sena SMH10 from Revzilla. I met somebody by accident (and not from an accident) today that also has the Sena 10 and highly recommends it. My wife and I thank everyone! God bless!! Michael and Karen

    Headset Communications

    It looks like I cannot go wrong with most available options. One of my favorite reasons for riding is just the hum of the bike and a little traffic noise. So music is not a major option for me. Alone with my thoughts, the wind, the road, and the sound of the bike. My wife enjoys riding but...

    Headset Communications

    My wife and I have Bell Revolver modular helmets. We want to be able to communicate while riding on our R3T. If possible I would like the ability to talk to another biker or two that may share the communication system. We also have open face and half shells. What works with what. What...

    sidecar on a rocket

    My wife and I went to the Triumph National Rally in Oley, Pa. yesterday (06-28-2014). I met a friend I have not seen in 12 years. He was always a sidecar man and decided to combine his love of sidecars with his wallet and created Freedom Sidecars...

    R3T ride vs R3R ride

    I will say this, now everyone has me intrigued about a test run on our R3T's little brother! We have a 1992 Honda Shadow which is our runabout bike. But even on the back country roads I usually take the Triumph. We will get to the dealer in a couple weeks when the rain stops and take a...

    R3T ride vs R3R ride

    Great info everyone. Thanks. I have leaned: A) They are two totally different machines. B) Don't try to turn one into the other. C) They both serve their purpose well. D) We ride a giant hotdog! My plan was not to try to pull parts off to make it a R3R. Just trying to get the idea how...

    R3T ride vs R3R ride

    Hello everyone!! My wife and I have been riding an 2013 R3T for a year and a half now and enjoy it very much. I have not taken the time yet to ride a Roadster. Are the rides and handling the same? Are they the exact same bike but one is dressed up more? If you take the hard bags off the Tour...

    I know it was not a fair contest... But it was fun....

    I realize that the big bikes may have a better ride. But the cost of being a HD owner is extremely high. Everything seems to be higher. From apparel to parts to services. So, I got my "HD Owner fix" and am back to the real world. My Rocket, my Shadow (Honda Shadow 1100), and me! God bless...

    I know it was not a fair contest... But it was fun....

    Back on Memorial Day Weekend in May we bought a 2008 HD Sportster. Thought I have been riding forever and never owned one. So we tried it. This past weekend we traded it in after only 4 months of being a HD owner due to how nasty of a ride the thing was. Another guy there told me my doctor...

    Rocket Sightings

    My wife and I live in Williamsport, Pa. and we were coming down a back road around town (Log Run Road) and we saw a R3. Nice looking bike. Other than this one we have not seen another in our area. Not saying they are not here. Just saying they must be the 2013 Invisible models. Nice to know...

    First Time Rocketeer

    So nice to see the brotherly love between the two of you!!! Hey Big Daddy - enjoy the forum. Lots of good info and fun. Maybe you got a Triumph RIII for safety purposes. Two things to do to keep from getting hit is always wear a fluorescent green helmet and always have a bright orange...
