  3. Headlight not working on 2009 R3T

    Noticed my headlight not working today; neither low, nor hi beam. Aux/fog lights work fine. The tiny little aux bulb inside the bucket lights up, but not the main bulb. I have the EB relay. What's typical life of bulb? Any easy stuff to try before I buy a new bulb? I've been riding since 1970...

  5. Metzeler for R3T front: bias or radial?

    Just curious: the Metzeler in 150-80-16 is available for our R3T front in a bias or in a radial. Radial is $30 or so more. Any thoughs/actual experience with one versus the other? I ordered the bias before realizing a radial was available as well. It arrived today. I'm gonna go ahead with...

  6. My new seat!

    Really comfortable for those long hauls!

  7. Top speed on your Touring?

    I can't take my 2009 past about 85 or 90 mph...anybody go faster on an R3T? Again, just to be clear, this question is for Touring models, not Roadsters, Tourers or Standards. If you go over 90 mph, please lsit your tire combination, and method of balancing: lead weights, Dyna Beads, or other...

  8. Head shake/tank slap?

    I put on new front and rear tires, balanced with Dyna Beads. All is smooth up to 90 mph. That's when it gets exciting. At 90 or so, I get a violent "head shake" in the front end. It goes away when I let off throttle; smooths right out again at 85 or so. I will stipulate that 90 mph exceeds all...

  9. Spooned on a new front tire this morning...

    Bought a Shinko for the fromt of my 2009 R3T. My OEM front was looking pretty bad after 5,300 miles. I had some time this morning, so I thought I'd try the install myself. All went very easily...moreso than I could have even hoped. I made a "workstation" by stacking 3 car tires on top of one...

  10. 2009 R3T color question

    Which blue on the '09 R3T is "Azure" blue? Is it the lighter of the two shades on the bike, or the darker? I put a light scratch on my tank, and need to know what touch up paint to order: azure or eclipse. I need the lighter shade, whichever one that is. Thanks, CW

  11. 5,700 miles and I need a new rear tire

    I got all the miles out of it that I could! Gonna go dark side next. Tried to attach a pic, but could not. tried again:

  12. Need R tire; gotta remove rear wheel

    Well, OEM rear tire is bald after 5,500 miles. Gonna go Dark Side, but got a question: To remove the rear wheel/tire on my 2009 R3T, I am guessing I have to first remove saddle bags, brackets, and mufflers. Am I right? Are there any other tips/suggestions out there? My plan is to have local...

  13. Which Eastern Beaver H4 kit?

    I have a 2009 R3 Touring model: single headlight, with a pair of auxilliary/fog lights. My objective is to eliminate the potential for future ignition switch problems by installing the Eastern Beaver H4 relay. Do my fog lights complicate matters at all? Which H4 kit do I need? The plain "single...

  14. Saddlebag guard rails part A9758115

    Looking to add these to my 2009 R3T...they are $189.99 evrywhere I look. Not sure I want them that badly. Seen any better prices anywhere? Anybody have strong like or dislike of this part? Any rattles? Can you still remove your bags with these rails in place? Thanks, CW

  15. R3 vs VRod?

    I got into a polite debate a while back about our beloved Rocket versus a Harley VRod. I said something to the effect that the R3 was much quicker and faster ("a VRod couldn't stay in the same zip code with a Rocket"), and the VRod owner quickly took up the other side of the issue. Neither one...

  16. GiPro on a 2009 R3T

    Once I located the proper coupling, the install was easy. Grounded it to an existing ground, and spilced red side to a switched hot wire. Gear indicator works flawlessly, but I did have to go thru the "learn" process. Also very easy. Only disappointment is that performance-wise, I can tell no...

  17. Can't find GPS coupling for GiPro

    Anyboy got a pic of the GPS connector for a 2009 or equivalent R3T? In trying to follow the GiPro directions, I looked under the plastic plate on the "left" side of the engine. I am assuming that means the driver's left; the same side as the bear claw, oil tank, and coolant fill. So I look...

  18. I smell antifreeze!

    I bought a 2009 R3T with 2300 miles on it...seemed pristine. Only concern is that lately, every time I ride, I smell antifreeze. This didn't happen until I filled the overflow tank after finding it a wee bit low when I was in the process of installing a light bar. Maybe I filled it too full??? I...

  19. Added Triumph light bar last night...

    to my 2009 R3T (it did not come with one). Anyhow, install was easy; instructions clear; the piece was very well-designed and fabricated; everything needed was in the kit. I am very satisfied. The Triumph piece compares VERY favorably to a Honda line piece I installed on a VTX I used to have...

  20. Installed Triumph aux light bar today

    On my 2009 R3T...Very well-designed and well-made. Was a very easy install. Everything fit perfectly, instructions were clear. Overall, I like it very much. Increases visibility to oncoming-motorists, and that's a good thing. I installed a Honda line light bar on a VTX I used to have, and it...
