    Dumb Question 115 Difference between 2022 & 2023 GT models

    I have been looking for crash bars for my 23 R3 GT. Came across some on eBay. The advert says for 2020 thru 2022 GTs . Is there that much difference between them & mine so the crash bars won't work? I would feel a lot more comfortable with them. Russ in OKC

    Looking for a company that makes easy steer-type triple trees for mounting sidecars

    I am looking at putting a sidecar on the 2023 R3 GL. There is a chance that I will need to change out the triple tree. I came across a company that makes them before we started looking at sidecars. I found one but was looking for something else so I did not bookmark it. I only remember that...

    Easy Steer triple tree for my 2023 R3 GL.

    We are going to have a sidecar from Hannigan mounted on my R3G L. There is a good chance that I will have to modify the Rake or trail with a different triple tree. Last week I came across a company that makes them. At the time I did not think I would need one so I did not bookmark the page...

    Hi Folks. Need a picture of a 2020 & post R3 with a set of crash bars.

    I need the picture for a couple of reasons. First To make sure that there are such things. Second to see how they are mounted. The people I am writing say no instructions. Thanks in advance. Russ in OKC

    R3 Orlder & New model frames Frames Correct me if I am wrong.

    Because I have been having trouble finding what I want for my new (2023) R3, I have been searching the internet. I found pictures of both the pre2019, & post2000 main Frames. To my eye, they are the same frames. What I want is a pair of crash bars. Normally that is the first thing I buy...

    Heel & Toe Shifter

    I am looking for a heel & toe shifter to work on my 2023 R3 CT. There seem to be whispers about some being around. They all seem to be for the older version R111. Does anyone know if the older version would work on the new bikes? Thanks Russ

    Interchange Exhaust parts

    I have been looking for an exhaust system heat reflection. During my search, I noticed that the parts for 2019& 20 look like they would be interchangeable. Am I doing pipe dreams or would the header cover be interchangeable?

    ANSWER TO THE SADDLE BAG PROBLEM

    I have no idea how much time I spent on the phone trying to match up a decent-sized saddlebag with a good mounting system. My dealer & others all I heard were 16-liter bags. The Cleveland mounting system would not change out with other bags. My Irish luck kicked in, and I found the Supply...

    I need a very straightforward answer. I do not want to have a repeat

    Some years ago I purchased a used 2005 R3. I did not know it for a couple of weeks. Enjoyed it. Then I found out it had more problems than a preacher arrested in a whore house on Saturday night. Some were the fault of the previous owner. He had spliced in wires, then removed w/o resealing...

    Forward foot control effect on choice of bike.

    I stood around the dealer when the New R3 versions came out about 4 years ago. I did not want to jump in until I was sure the company had improved. I am looking at a leftover 2023 with the forward foot controls. Looks good and the price has been reduced. Let me throw out this question for a...

    The bad penny returns

    Skimming through the forums I noticed a few names that have been here for a very long time. The last time I was a member I had a 05 R3. along with a ton of bugs. It had some factory bugs but a lot more installed by 2 previous owners who had no idea about what they were doing. I stood...
