  1. Shocks (Asking more)

    Sorry to throw a wrench into things, but I just finished an 800 mile trip with new shocks, fork springs, and oil from Wilbers. I bought them through the Beemer Shop in Ca. The people there couldn't be nicer. Lots of info required to order. What do you weigh? Your passenger? What type of riding...

  4. What is her name?

    Rocket 3 Touring Strato-Lounger Getting a little long in the tooth, when my H-D friends make the Beep Beep Beep alarm sound, as I back into a parking slot.
  5. Changing front fork springs

    Shouldn't be that hard. Jack up the front end until the wheel is off the ground. Remove the handle bars, or at least get them out of the way. Put a towel / blanket / pad on the tank. Unscrew the top nut. ONE SIDE AT A TIME. It might pop up as you get close to the end of the threads. Pull out the...

    This work cost me $175.00. Hey, my last Russell went for over $500.00
  7. Comfort on a Longhaul Touring seat ???

    Having bought an off the shelf Mustang for my Road King (loved it), then a Meyers (pretty good), Corbin (rock hard), then a Russell Day Long (great) for my 1150RT, I've figured out that they just don't make good stock seats anymore. Or is it my advanced years? I had a 1974 750 Ducati Sport for...
  8. R3T seat rebuilt

    Just had my appointment with *****n Stichn here in Denver. I was really expecting to have them tear the cover off, and throw the foam out. We started with our stock R3T seat. Daniel and Brian are artists. Brian sat down and had my wife and I sit on the bike. Within 10 minutes, and after lots of...
  9. Touring Handlebars...HELP

    McRocket, try the Flanders web site. They have a zillion different bends. I'm a 5'9" with a 34" sleeve, and I'm looking at going for a lower bar, with a lot less pull back. I think the stock bars have a 16" pull back, which tends to bend me at the wrists the wrong way. I had 36" wide, 4" high...
  10. I wanna buy one but . . . .

    Tommy, I bought my 2008 R3T last fall. Only 1500 miles so far. **** snow. No issues. I don't see any horrible upkeep problems. Tune ups are far apart. Tires might be frequent depending on your right hand. I like the bike. I still will be setting it up for myself, as in a new seat and suspension...

  12. Continental Congress 2009 Intro - Warning-

    Let's keep politics in the taverns and jail cells, where it belongs.
  13. I did it!! 2008 R3T New!

    Tazshido, Sorry for stealing the Foothills R3T. I was looking at it for a while too. Great bunch of guys there. You couldn't go wrong. Hellfire, Cee Baileys make great shields. I had one on my 1150RT. Worked perfectly. However, having a vendor a few miles away makes me want to take a ride up...
  14. R3T Tach

    Sorry, I'm new. I've looked around the site for info on a tach for the R3T, but haven't found one, other than some micro-something. Does Triumph offer one? Can one be added like you can from HD for a Road King?
  15. Clearview with recurve

    Hey Crazyman, if a 19" recurve shield works, how tall are you? I might have to ride up to Pine, Co for one.
  16. I did it!! 2008 R3T New!

    Got the R3T from those nice people at Foothills Triumph BMW, Lakewood, Co. From the posts here, I may have to put on my hipwadders before signing on. Great bunch. What's with all the Ozzies?? I'm a transplant from Montreal myself. Rode Ducatis for 3 months a year, when it wasn't snowing...
  17. I did it!! 2008 R3T New!

    Oh, I forgot. Mine is the really fast black model. The red and blue ones were very nice, but a bit slow.
  18. I did it!! 2008 R3T New!

    Just got back from *****n Stichn in Lakewood Co. Nice guys, great shop. They think I might be able to work with what I've got, with a little cutting and adding here and there. Then there's the gel, heaters, backrest, ...... We'll see.
  19. I did it!! 2008 R3T New!

    Well after sneaking looks at at the R3owners site for the last few weeks, I broke down and bought a new '08 R3T. Still have an '04 1150RT, along with a '70 Norton S sitting in a box waiting shipment to New Zealand. Went through a knee replacement last year, and can't get my foot on the RT's peg...
