    Thai exhaust

    He only seems to deal over Facebook messenger but it was quick and painless, he responds quickly, sends you photos of your pipes before shipping (he makes to order).

    Thai exhaust

    The Bugbike pipes come completely open, no baffles. I noticed a loss of power in the lower rev range. But without baffles they are obscenely loud. Like, it hurts your ears to ride. And in the great nanny state of Australia, bound to earn you a defect from every cop you pass. So i ordered some...

    2 tire options, which one

    This has been an interesting thread. Came here to see if there are better tyres than the stock Avon. Why, I hear you ask? Because my rear spins like a bastard coming out of corners, or off at the lights. Not so much as to cause crashing but enough to get the blood flowing. Sometimes this is...

    Clutch switch problem

    Have just been reading through a few other threads on this. On older rockets, shorted out clutch switch will cause fuel gauge not to work. Mine just stopped working! Also someone else said their new R3 was running rough and sometimes stalls when this clutch error is happening. Mine stallled...

    Clutch switch problem

    I too am having issues with this POS switch. Bike now thinks the clutch lever is in all the time, because the metal tab on the switch is no longer pushing hard enough on the button. How it is meant to work: The button is depressed when the lever is out, and when you pull the lever, the metal...

    Evening folks. Just bought a rocket three.

    Nice! And yes that does look like a TFC - do they still sell those new? And don't listen to the naysayers, everything is better after a beer. I know this because I am a BREWer.

    Can you fit the topbox to the Rocket?

    Thai exhaust

    Yeah waterproof. I installed both those and the pipe yes. Bit of fun getting the mounts bolted in to the underside - they go through the guard and bolt into the mounts for the backrest. But now that they're on, they're really solid - I'd be happy putting in 2 or 3 times the recommended 3kg.

    Thai exhaust

    Hey Zutt & Tino, I have the same one but black. See here both sides. My bags are Hepco & Becker, just got them. They look to be a bit further away than the triumph ones.

    Thai exhaust

    Gotta cut short the bolt on the exhaust clamp. (After you do it up!) It’s not a perfect fit unfortunately, design flaw in my opinion. The heat shield does push on the clamp.

    Hepco & Becker Orbit hard luggage

    Been patiently waiting for a decent aftermarket hard luggage option for the R3. Finally found something worth the money! They use the H&B C-bow mounts. 22L so similar to the genuine triumph bags. I think they look pretty good on the bike. The mounts are not as discreet as the triumph ones when...

    Thai exhaust

    I had similar issue - bit of force was required to bend things to match up screws.

    Exhaust Options Rocket 3 GT

    I got the bug bike twin pipe, made by a guy in Thailand. Pros: Looks good. Is loud. Cons: Is too loud. Like, painful to ride. Louder than a Harley I’ve had. Scared to ride near cops. That loud. Had to buy baffles to stick in the end. $20 on eBay, now is good. Not a perfect fit - had to grind...

    TuneECU

    Hey bccass, I just installed the Bugbike pipe (2 pipe version) and am running the Penner map. LOTS of popping on decel. Loss of torque in the low end (to be expected somewhat). A tad loud if I'm honest (cops around here can be nasty on a bad day). So I'm gonna try a silencer in the end just to...

    280 tyre on TFC

    I'm curious to know what you're hoping to achieve with a fatter tyre? What do you have against corners?

    New R3 on the way!
