  1. 20K Mile Service - HOW MUCH $$$$

    How much should I expect to pay for a full 20K mile service including tune up, new coolant, upper radiator hose, & rear brakes. I also am having the dealer tighten up the front end to eliminate the front end shake that in common with the R3T. Any guesses? :cool:
  2. This is B.S.

    If you check out my threads, you will see that I have been *****ing about Triumph not stocking basic parts required to service my 08 RT3. Here is the latest. 20K service....VALVE COVER GASKET...10 days delivery. Granted, this is better than the 4-5 weeks I have experienced in the past, but...
  3. Help...Awful Front End Shake.

    My ride is a 2008 R3T. I have over 21k on the bike and over the last few months I have been gettting a real bad front end shake. All I have to do is loosen my grip on the bars and the front end wants to shake. Anyone had experiance with this problem or insight on what I need to do to fix it...
  4. I can't beleive this !

    Here is an update to my post a month ago about slow parts delivery on my 08 R3T...before anyone starts to call me a "hater" or any other term that means someone trying to stir up the crap...forget it. I love my Rocket. It is the most amazing machine I have ever owned. That goes back to my...
  5. Triumph lost my business !

    It is shameful and arrogant the way Triumph refuses to listen and support their loyal riders. I own a 2008 Rocket 3 Touring. I have been reading the threads about slow delivery of parts from Triumph. Most of the stories in the last year or so are about slow and canceled orders for...
  6. Have You Solved This One ?

    My biggest ***** about my 08 R3T is puttin in the fuel. Am I the only one who has to sit there with the nozzel flange held back with my left hand and then put the last half gallon in on "super slow". I bought one of those yellow Unleaded Filler Flange things but once the nozzel shuts off, the...
  7. 1500 Miles in 4 Days R3T

    I left SoCal for regions north. Rode up the coast to Monterey then through the Central Valley to the Feather River Canyon up to Bucks Lake (until the snow stopped me). Did a few side trips in the Plumas National Forest and then back down the canyon (75 miles of the most delectible two wheel...
  8. Satellite & GPS Questions HELP !

    I going on a road trip next week and need some help. I am going to buy a handlebar mounted GPS system. What kind should I buy? Cost is not as important as ease of use & visibility. I also am considering a satelite radio. I already subcribe to XM & Sirius so what radio should I look at? I have...

  10. It's a Bird, It's a Plane...

    I buttomed up the install on my 2008 R3T of the GIPro ATRE & v4 SpeedoHealer....I threw a quick spitshine on the black parts and rode out to the canyon. I won't bore you the details but it would have taken a big crowbar to wipe the smile off my face. This is the most amazing "Big" bike I've...
  11. GIPro Install Problem (Pic) R3Touring

    I have uploaded a pic of the connector with the contacts pulled. In my 2008 Touring, it appears the wire is RED not PINK. The only other posibility is that I used the wrong connector. In the picture is a 3-pos triangular connector. It has a solid PINK wire that lines up with a Blk/Yel wire...
  12. Help

    I am looking for some leather covers for the R3T hardbag lids. I have minor scratches and scrapes that can't be rubbed out and I don't want to paint. I have seen other hardbags covered with leather and it looks sharp. Also, I am trying to find a luggage rack that will fit behind the Touring...
  13. Touring Handlebars...HELP

    I am 6'5" with Looong arms (38 1/2"). The setback on the stock bars is tooo looong. Does anyone have a suggestion? I have been looking for Drag Bars that might help. I also would like to a slighly narrower overall spread. By the way, I just installed the new Triumph dresser bars and short...
  14. Riding Boots

    I just finished a 1000 mile ride starting in Portland Or. Most of the time the ambient temp. in the 30's (F). In other words my footsies got really cold. Since the Rocket does not have any foot protection, I was wondering what most of you cold weather junkies wear to keep your feet warm...
  15. McRocket...New to the group

    I am picking up my 2008 R3T in Portland OR on Sunday for the 1000 mi ride back to South Orange County (Cook's Corners Territory) El Toro. I just hope the Rocket can handle well with snow chains. I just sold an ST1300 and still ride an "08" Suzuki GSXR-1340 for fun. I love to go fast. I have...
