  1. Talked to Carpenter Racing

    Just when I thought I had cooled off from what had transpired between a local stealer and myself who I had a long relationship with I talk to Carpenter and I'm all worked up again. I called them to discus their 3:1 Megaphone Exhaust System and what if anything would the system do for my...

  2. 2013 Reflection

    After having an actual working custom tune using a PCIII for a few months I've come to the conclusion that I both like it and hate it at the same time. The like part is there is a noticable uptick in upper RPM power(above 3,500), but the hate part is that my lower RPM torque seems less than it...

  3. Performance Exhaust Heatshields

    I'm wondering why there isn't an aftermarket true performance exhaust company like Carpenter/Reband that makes a true 3-1 complete system for the R3 that includes full chrome heatshields? I personally don't want to look at, or spend my time polishing blued headpipes. What can I say I like the...

  4. CAT Bypass turning blue

    Today when I parked my Rocket I noticed that my CAT bypass pipe has turned blue on both sides. When it was installed and before tuning the pipe had either a high polish, or a chrome finish. Is there anything to be concerned about? The header pipes have no discoloration. I'm thinking this is...

  5. Losing Faith

    To make a long and sad story shorter I'll condense the details. A year after purchasing my 08 Classic with 13,xxx miles I decided to start doing the same mods as a lot of folks do. I started with TORS and a factory TORS tune. Then while my bike was at the stealer for it's 20,000 mile service I...

  6. Virginia Tune ECU Captains

    Hello folks. I'm looking for someone in either the Richmond, or Tidewater area that has a good working knowledge of Tune ECU and can both install and uninstall a Power Commader in their sleep. My story is both long and sad, but I need to get my bike right and it's going to fall on me to do it as...

  7. The beast is done.

    Just got a call that my bike is ready for pickup. With the Tri-filter K&N setup, TORS, CAT delete, fresh tune up, and a PCIII my Rocket made 142HP on the dyno. I'll take that, be happy, and leave well enough alone. Cheers.

  8. My ad in the classifed section

    Triumph Leather Saddle Bags pt# A9528014 wth a set of Dresser Rails pt# A9738088(fits standard, classic, roadster). Check it out over there. I've lowered the price again.

  9. Volume of coolant overflow tank & relocating

    Can anyone tell me the exact volume of the coolant overflow tank in ounces? I'm looking for options to replace my stock tank with pretty piece to go with my K&N tri-filter setup. Is there any problem temporarily relocating the overflow tank to where the air box assembly was? It seems as if the...

  10. Single K&N vs 3 K&N filters

    Okay guys I'm sure this question has been asked a thousand times, but aside from storage and a little weight savings at the end of the day in the real world how much of a difference is there in performance gains? That's all I'm interested in knowing. Don't need to know anything about tuners...

  11. Stock Stuff

    Anyone have any idea how much a set of used stock mufflers and a CAT box for a classic/standard model are worth that are in exellent condition and is there even a market for this stuff?

  12. New Development

    Ok I'm starting to wonder if this bike is cursed. To date since buying my R3 with only 13,xxx miles on it I've had to have the head gasket replaced, it now has vibration(listed in another thread), and the latest development is a ticking noise coming from the engine that is there under all...

  13. Vibration

    Got a vibration noticed on a ride last Friday. Can't pinpoint it other than I can feel it in the handlebars. The only change was new Avon tires about 100 miles ago. Everything felt great after new tires were installed, but now this. Any ideas.:confused:

  14. Triumph Leather Saddle Bags

    Hello, I'm thinking about selling my Triumph Leather Saddle Bags pt# A9528014 wth a set of Dresser Rails pt# A9738088. New both sets cost $950.00, but I have no idea what to ask for them. They were on my Rocket when I bought it, but I'm not much of a bag guy and I thought I could sell the setup...

  15. CAT Delete/TORS

    Ok all you performance junkies, what is the real world performance gains when installing a CAT delete kit along with a set of TORS and of course a tune? Thanks.

  16. Oil Leak

    I've owned my 08 R3 Classic since June. It only had 13,xxx miles on it when I bought it and was in showroom new condition. The guy I bought it from had all service records since new performed at the dealership he bought it from who is the same dealership I do business with. Now it's November...

  17. Exhaust note

    So far all the exhust systems I've heard from U-Tube video's from the usual suspects don't thrill me all that much with the exception of the Mad Dog pipes and now they are out of business. I'd really like to find something that has as low of a note as possible with decent volume without being...

  18. Pesky coolant leaks

    Has anyone experienced coolant leaks at either the water pump cover, or a plug on the right side rear of the engine? Well I have both. One is an o-ring and the other is a crush washer. It seems strange to have something with only 15,xxx miles on it to have coolant leaks already. Parts are on...

  19. A tuners take on the PCV w Auto-Tune

    Last night I talked to the service manager/tuner at my local stealer who I've been going to for quite a while for service even before I had an R3 with other bikes I've owned about the PCV w Auto-Tune. He stated that unless you are changing something internally, or are adding a totally...

  20. It's good to be different

    Every time I go to work, or I'm out ridding in the area it always makes me feel good to know when I look at a motorcycle lot that I'm on the only R3 and usually the only Triumph.:D
