    Easier seat bolts?

    I like your thinking. I am very interested in seeing how your experiment works. I would think one would only need enough length on the shaft to go through the nut. It looks like there would be enough material below the dome for one's fingers to get hold of the dome while pushing in the button to...

    Forward controls vs highway pegs

    On my previous bike (Kawasaki Nomad 1700), I had the seat reworked twice. The second time, I had a gel pad inserted into the seat. I did not like it. It seemed to transmit more vibration than an all foam seat did. I found that more tiring. I live in Florida and the concern about absorbing heat...

    JBQ Spacer or T-Bird Riser User Experience?

    When I bought my 2014 R3T, it already had risers on it. Not sure who made them. They could be Rivco or ScootWorks. They move the bars up and back. Work well for me.

    /Begin off topic @Tal, did you fit a center stand? If so, who makes it and would it fit an R3T? End off topic/ :sneaky:

    2014 RIIITouring TORS, Platt mid pipe, Ramair. Is there a tune for this?

    What tune did you end up using? I will be installing the TORS and RamAir. At some point, I will install a Viking or Platt cross over.

    side views of the TFC R3

    Waiting to see if they introduce a Touring version. Coming up on my first year with my 2014 R3T. Love the bike. Still more mods to do. In no hurry for a new one.

    R3T Tires: Avon Cobras or Excedras.

    Doing my first tire change on my R3T. Running Avon Cobras. Use my Garmin GPS and their tire pressure sensors to monitor tire pressure. Run Avon's tire pressure recommendation of 38 psi front and 44 psi rear. When it drops below 37 psi/43 psi, I add air to get back to recommended psi. The rear...

    Have You Seen This Motor Gymkhana?

    OK. The gauntlet has been thrown. I nominate @Steel to hold up the RIII's honor. His bike has the power and looks to do this. Being a coonass, this qualifies him to do something like this. While I have never met @Steel, I went to school in New Orleans, had friends who were coonasses, and have no...

    Shout out to Tony Guymer of Motorcycle Cruise Controls

    I have installed the MCCruise Cruise control on my 2014 R3T. I have been using it for almost a year and it has been absolutely flawless in operation. About two and a half weeks ago I was using it on the interstate and it would not hold speed at 80 mph. It would at 70 or 75 mph but not 80. Then...

    Hello from Central Queensland, Australia

    Welcome from Florida. Glad y'all were mostly OK and made the wedding. Amazed you were able to beat out the front fender the way you did. How is the reconstruction coming?

    New horns - relay necessary or not.

    Love what you did with your horns. I have a couple of Hella Twin Tone horns mounted on the highway bars wired in sequence with the stock horn. The Hella Twin Tones are similar to the PIAA horns. Because of the way you have mounted your horns, I am going to reexamine the mounting of mine. Yours...

    K&N's without TORS-Worth the trouble?

    I have a “motorcycle” setting for my hearing aids when on the bike. It lets me hear horns/sirens yet quiets other noises. For longer (IBA) rides, I use ear plugs. Just want to keep it as quiet as I reasonably can.
