    Last rode my 2007 Rocket in April, 2010

    Congratulations on being able to get back, back in the saddle! ;) Hope you have a lot of smiles and miles ahead of you!

    Mixing Tires

    I ran the MC 2s in the 130/90-16 F and 180/65-16 R on my 09 Nomad and would get 20-25,000 miles out of the front and the rear. This bike is similar in weight to the R3T. I had 133,421 miles on my Nomad when I got rid of it for my 14 R3T with 2,700 miles on it. I had Avons put on because the...

    Hello from Florida

    Tripps, I am not too far from you either, about the same distance as 1BigDog to the south. Once you get settled, may we can set a meet up so some Florida Captains can give you a warm, southern welcome.

    Oil

    My Rocket is my third bike since 6/07. I have used 10W/40 without any issues during that time. For the last 7 years I have mostly used Amsoil 10W/40 and have been pleased with the shifting and longevity of the oil. On my Nomad I would change the filter every 7,500 miles and the oil and filter...

    For the thousandth time, tires

    I have Avon Cobras on my 2014 R3T and am using Avon's recommended tire pressures of 38F/44R. The tires have almost 3.400 miles on them. I was riding on a road with which I am familiar for the first time on my R3T and it has tar snakes. The front slid sideways while going through a curve, which...

    Ethanol free gas

    I have a Wawa gas station which opened in the past year where I live and it sells ethanol free gas, 90 octane I think. I have been using it in my lawn mower and two cycle string trimmer. For the bike, I use Top Tier gasoline because the additives do a better job of keeping the fuel system clean...

    Usable Fuel Tank Capacity

    Since reading about the variability of the low fuel light, I have started tracking the mileage when it comes on. Over the last 7 of 8 fill-ups (I missed one) the low fuel light has, on average, been coming on at 160 miles, indicating an average of 1.31 gallons left, and 45.5 miles left to empty...

    Forgot how much attention the Rocket gets

    I went to pick up a package from the local FedEx office after work today. While getting my gear on, a guy approaches me and asks what is the displacement of my bike? I told him it is a Triumph Rocket III Touring and it has a 2,300 cc motor. He looks at it, shakes his head, and as he is walking...

    Forgot how much attention the Rocket gets

    I am beginning to understand this. I picked up my 2014 R3T in San Antonio, TX and rode it back to FL 4/6-7. On the way back, I two different stops where I had a guy ask/talk with me about the bike. I have filled up 6 times since getting back and have had 3 occasions where people have asked me...

    Want to get rid of air filter under seat to make more room

    I have searched different threads, but have not found the answer to my question. At this point I want to get rid of the air filter under the seat to make room for a power distribution fuse block. If I get filters to go under the bear claw, K&N, Uni, Ram Air or other (still to be decided) will I...

    Changing fuel filter

    I am hoping that the FuelBot 2.0 will be offered for sale again when the inventor/manufacturer gets enough time to do so (and I do understand time constraints). This is a device that is able to measure actual fuel usage and tell you actual mpg & volume/distance to empty. No more guessing. Do a...

    Changing fuel filter

    I will do that. I have a number of other mods I am doing before I get to that one. It may be a while because my time to do the mods I want to do is limited. For the tank, I will have to build the base for it be carried by the luggage rack, run the line with a filter and valve from the aux tank...

    Changing fuel filter

    I appreciate the pictures because I hope to add my 6 gallon auxiliary fuel tank to the back of my R3T. I did this on my previous bike, a Kawasaki Nomad. It looks like I will be able to add the fitting connecting the line from the auxiliary fuel tank to the main fuel tank there between the end of...
