  1. Thank-you TriumPhil

    A month ago I had never even considered going DS. TriumPhil gave me some significant things to think about which I hadn't considered before that. When I found myself in need of a self-inflicted tire change up front, it only seemed right to take the opportunity to change the rear too. I read...
  2. Shock and Awe!

    Just picked up the R3T after the darkside install! After all the horror stories, I was apprehensive about taking her out for a test drive. I was literally shocked at how great it felt and handled even at slow speeds. In fact, it was more stable at all speeds. Monday I'm off and plan to ride...
  3. Weather Part III

    As soon as I decided to go darkside and trailered my injured Rocket III Touring (plugged front tire) to the shop to get the tires change, the weather has been horrible! Took it down last Thursday. 22 inches of snow on Saturday. Planning on getting her back Monday, but the shop was backed up...
  4. Another Option

    For those of you R3T riders who are getting power back through Tuneboy, PCIII or GIPro, you might want to consider that the 180 tire is not rated for the same speed/ power as the Wider Classic/ Standard tire. I am getting a 205 Car Tire this week and would be glad to provide feedback for those...
  5. Going For It!

    Thanks for all the info everyone has shared about the Darkside over the last couple of weeks. I have decided to take the plunge since I already have to change out my front tire (for reasons I won't discuss again!:p) and she's sitting at the dealer waiting for a tire to come in. I'm going with...
  6. Stop n Go Tire Plugs

    Many of you suffered with me when I drilled through my tire. Many of you also made fun of me! That's OK too! I just wanted to make you all aware of a product I just discovered as a result of my misery. Stop n Go Tire Plugs work great when you have a puncture, as I did. They are easy to use...
  7. Won the battle...lost the war!

    Finished the Install of my front fender rails and chrome tips! :rolleyes: That's the good news. I drilled a hole in my front tire! That's the bad news! :mad:
  8. Front Fender Rail and Fender Tip on R3 Touring

    Has anyone installed these on their front fender on the R3T? There are seperate instructions for the Rail and the Fender Tip. My question is, does it matter which one you install first?
  9. 15 Degrees F!

    I can tell you one thing. 15 degrees feels much colder without heated gloves. I sent mine back to Gerbing for repair last week. I stopped at a rest area on the way into work just to get my hands back from being numb and a cop in an unmarked car stopped on his way by to say he loved riding his...
  10. Cold Hand- yup just one!

    I ride in any wheather and use Gerbings Glove, Jacket/ Pants liners, heated seat and heated Grips. The last couple times I've ridden, just my right hand is getting cold. Yes, my glove is plugged in! Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe I just have poor circulation in my right hand...
  11. Part Name

    Does anyone know the name or part number of the Rubber Grommet that holds on the side panels and/or if the dealers stock them? I would ask the dealer but they are closed to and I wanted to get a jump on it if I needed to order on-line somewhere. I lost one of them last Thursday. Thanks.
  12. Winter Riding

    How many people out there ride through the winter? I'm in South Central PA and we get reasonably mild winters with periodic snow and ice that usually melts within a couple of days. I have heard some from this area say that they won't ride at all after the roads are treated and put it away...
  13. Modified R3T with Stock Tire

    I have modified the R3T to get back most or all of the power I had on the Classic. Now I keep getting warned by others to be careful of the rear tire as the 180 isn't rated for the speeds that the 240 is. My question is, if you are just a reasonable rider who likes more get-up-and-go off the...
  14. Dead Battery- Temporary Odyssey PC625 Install

    Just a question on the Odyssey PC625. I have a dead battery in the parking lot at work. I had to leave it last night. I am going to replace the stock battery with the PC625. Considering it'll be about 25F degrees when I go out at 5 to change it out, I don't really want to tackle the battery cage...
  15. Holy Crap My Classic is back (inside my Tourer!)

    I cannot describe the intensity of feeling of getting my cheeks glued back to my ears again! I thought it was all lost when I lost my Classic! Now that my Triples, TORS and Tune are done, it feels like Deja Vu! Today was the first time I got it out on the open road since my Mod was done and Holy...
  16. R3T Tire Pressure

    I have the standard Metz tires and don't seem to be able to find out what tire pressure I should be running. I probably should know, but I can't seem to be able to find the information right now. Thanks!! :eek:
  17. New to THIS site

    I have been on the other unmentionable site since February 2007 when I bought my '05 Classic. Later that year, I sold it to get a Harley Ultra Classic Electra Glide. I regretted it from shakey, slow, unresponsive day one! Finally in July of this year, in a weak moment my wife agreed that I...
