    What is she worth?

    I called the BMW dealer in Daytona yesterday to inquire about trading the Rock for a less expensive FJR. (OK, I know you think I'm nuts. However I run a Chevy dealership and it's possible my income is in question. I would like to reduce my debt while I can still qualify.) We couldn't come to an...

    Auxiliary lamp kit bulb

    One of my bulbs burnt out. Does anyone know if A015-A or A110-A is the type of bulb that I need or where the heck to get it? The bulb comes out with the base and positive lead. I have never seen anything like it. A little help would be appreciated.

    What's your Bucket List?

    The April issue of Rider has an article, "A 35 Bucket List", 35 roads to ride or even think about. As I read through the list I realized that most of these roads are outside my travel zone. I live just south of Jacksonville Florida and consider my travel zone to be East of Texas and as far...

    Seat mod. Unintended consequences.

    A few weeks ago I had Sargents in Jacksonville modify my seat. They did exactly what I asked them to; level off the passenger pillion, raise my surface about an inch and a half, move the crease back, recover it with cording. The intended purpose was to allow me to move back a little. I didn't...

    Single seat / dual seat quick release backrest?

    I have the quick release backrest and luggage rack on my R3T. If I purchase the solo seat and luggage rack (that fits where the pillion seat goes) must I remove or change the mounting hardware for my quick release backrest? Put another way, can I easily swap between the solo seat, luggage rack...

    Can I have more HP on a limited budget?

    I have an R3T. Can I get more speed with some simple and inexpensive modifications? Will changing the air filter to K&M increase the power? Can I re-tune my bike, or have it done, without changing the pipes? More speed with little money. Can it be done?

    Power outlet up front

    I just finished installing a power outlet for my GPS. I used the powerlet rear glove box kit for the GL1800. I had it in the garage and noticed, once I lifted the R3 tank, that is was the perfect length to run from the battery to the front right frame cover. (In front of the tank on the right...

    Can't wait to get the new seat.

    I had the wife drop the seat off at Sargent's (downtown Jacksonville) this morning on her way to work. Now the bike's apart in the garage until Friday night and it's killing me. Today, 68 and sunny. It's perfect bike weather in North Florida. I looked at Russell, Corbin and Triumph, (longhaul...

    Longhaul Touring Seat

    I'm looking for an optional seat that offers more comfort for my wife and I. We rode a couple of hundred miles yesterday. Near the end of the ride she started complaining of discomfort. She wants a new seat that's wider. The Triumph web site has a Longhaul Touring Seat with a rider's seat...

    How can I lift the whole bike?

    I purchased this jack yesterday. Torin, 1,500 lb $69 at Pepboys. I tried it this morning and sucessfully lifted the front wheel off the ground. Can I, using wood or something else, lift the whole bike safely?

    Is there a simple horn option?

    Guys, is there an electric horn, louder than the stock one, that can be mounted in the same place using the factory wiring? (no modification, simple and easy, R3T) Had a women enter my lane while talking on her cell phone. I pressed the horn button.... it's about as loud as blowing my nose...

    Triumph Aux lights for R3 touring, parts missing

    Just FYI, I just got off the phone with Triumph. I made the mistake of not checking to make sure all the parts were in the box before installing my new light kit. (A9938085) It seems that Triumph left out the second wire harness for the light bar. According to them, this is a not the first...

    Anyone know how to lift the tank?

    Hi Guys, I want to install my light kit. The instructions call for lifting the fuel tank. I checked the dealer's shop manual but it only has instructions for a R3, not the touring model. Does anyone know how to lift the tank? Also, can the R3 be safely lifted using a motorcycle jack under...

    First Triumph, 6 days of intrigue.

    Last Saturday I traded my 08 Goldwing for a lll touring model. This bike is the most interesting bike I have ever ridden. The low end grunt is unbelievable. I have nick named it "the tractor". It has the same torque and exhaust note as the David Brown I drove as a kid. There's nothing like...
