    Realistic Fuel Mileage?

    I got out into the country yesterday and top gear around 70 mph was averaging +40 mpg.

    Back in Black...and a little blue!

    I've got a KTM 1290 22 evo and if I compare dynos from Cycle world and BT moto it could be interpreted that CW calculates RWHP while BTmoto interepets hp at the crank.

    Realistic Fuel Mileage?

    The onboard mpg average states 33-34 mpg and i've been doing a lot of local suburb riding. No doubt the mileage will improve on the highway.

    Wind Buffing on GT

    I might be a bit envious that mods you do don't draw attention to themself.

    Wind Buffing on GT

    My experience with handlebar mounted screens in the past would have the screens getting pushed down onto the gas tank at speed. Did you find an exception or additional support?

    Wind Buffing on GT

    I replaced the powerBronze with the T-Rex 21'' screen and while the 21 is taller it's slimmer and the hardware puts it inches further forward. I'll probably stick with the powerbronze and play around with spacers to divert the wind.

    Radar Detector

    Bump, I see this thread's ancient, but I appreciate the edge radar gives me and the latest batch from any of the top manufacturers offer a warning long before a leo can see who's speeding. I'm using an Escort 360c Mk2 and want to know what solutions you guys are using to secure your unit to the...

    Wind Buffing on GT

    The PowerBronze light screen that's 19" tall keeps my chest clean but streams airflow that creates too much wind in my helmet. I found a T-Rex that's 21" tall has hardware that looks to tilt the screen more aggressively and turns out a bit at the top similar to Idaho Red's screen. I really like...

    2025 R3 Storm

    I'm not crazy about the Powerbronze screen while riding, too loud as wind is deflected at my helmet. I'm looking at the T-rex website and they offer a 15x21" screen vs the 19" tall PB I have now, and a bit of a curve at the top to push the wind even higher. Is anyone using the T-Rex tall screen...

    Got my Zumo XT mounted

    I bought and installed the zumo xt3 today, unlike my other bikes there appears to be a lack of acc outlets on the R3r storm. I didn't want to connect the wires directly to the battery because it's just another opportunity to run the battery down and I really want to save the outlet in front for...

    2025 R3 Storm

    including delivery. I found on this forum and yours looks quite similar, but while I'm pretty good with wood anything I create from metal will look like it. Grand total: $97.94

    2025 R3 Storm

    The Installation was quick and easy, not crazy about the miniature backrest or luggage rack as far as functionality goes, but the stuff well made for the most part. The screen is a powerbronze light screen and it raises the breeze up to my shoulders or so. If Triumph was concerned about wind...

    Found a solution to my big ugly backrest

    I was able to resist for sever years because the 2500 is such a compromise as a touring cruiser. I only finally sold the k1600 and came back to the R3 because my wife's decided to quit riding with me. It is what it is, she makes a power play and I ignore the power and focus on the play.

    Soft luggage

    I used a Kriega 20L? maybe smaller. There's a plastic mesh on the underside I circled out just enough to fit the seat mount thru and worked out a way to close it with all the extra straps they package with it. A temporary and homely solution to use until the factory side bags were ordered and...

    bump, was this done for the screen?

    2025 R3 Storm

    the wires aren't cheap, but they come as a kit [purchased separately]. I think there's 4 wires and 2 braided lines

    2025 R3 Storm

    I've got the extended cables and thought I could tilt the touring bars to get them comfortable.

    2025 R3 Storm

    The passenger backrest, luggage rack with the detachable luggage and mounting hardware are installed. Installing the luggage hardware directions came up online first so I installed it first only to have to remove everything to install the backrest hardware first and then reinstall the luggage...

    Here is a story.

    not yet, but i'll be updating the 2025 R3r storm thread I started a couple weeks ago as I get pics uploaded.

    2025 Storm ECU questions...

    It would make sense that part of euro5 compliance is a locked ecu, that said BT moto is removing more factory restrictions on our newer bikes.
