    Intermittent Dash Failure at Start Up

    Hi Gang, I've had Intermittent Dash Failure at Start Up on my 2013 R3T lately where I turn the key on and get nothing. Turn key off and back on and most times it comes right back on. Everything works 9 out of 10 times. I'm afraid to ride it and get stranded. A few times I've thumped the chrome...

    Overfilled Tank; BSA Nostalgia

    Well, I smell like I'm back riding the old BSA with the tickler Amals. I needed gas in the Rocket Touring and cash so I pulled into a Kum and Go and squeezed as much gas in as I could. I was plenty proud of myself. Then it was over to WF ATM for some cash. I got behind a fellow in a BMW who...

    Kury Iso Grip Throttle Sleeve Tab Broke

    Reprise. Now after 8000 more miles, my Kury throttle grip tab broke (see pic). Does someone make a metal replacement? The first time it was the Triumph heated grip. This time the Kury grip. I did have a back up plastic throttle sleeve I bought on Ebay and had cut to fit and tested before I...

    Baxter Cycle British Bike Rally

    Anyone going to Baxter Cycle for the bike rally? Demo rides, old iron, and general bike fun. I was hoping to get my BSA Lightning up and running but no time this year... See one of these before:

    Do Classic Bars Fit R3T

    Hi, I'm looking to avoid the Rivco Risers. Wd. the Classic bars bolt up w/ not cable mods to a 2013 R3T? I'm looking for maybe a little more reach back on the bars. Looking at them, I think they reach back farther than my stock set. Thanks, and sorry for the redundant question.

    Number of Rockets on the Street, USA, Worldwide

    I was wondering what sales have been for the various Rockets over the years. I see 1 or 2 a week around Omaha, but there are 3 dealers within 50 miles here. How would one get the figures?

    Teardrop Mirrors Won't Tighten

    I got the Chrome Drilled Teardrop Mirrors for my R3T and they look good but when I was installing the throttle side first, it wouldn't tighten up. These are replacements for a set that arrived broken. I'm trying to use the mouse ear fittings since the mirrors came without new fittings. Is this...

    How Can I Tell If I have TORS

    I'm the second owner of a 2013 R3T and was wondering if the previous (unknown) owner had TORS installed. Is there a part# located on the pipes? Probably dumb question, but I'll chance it.

    Removing R3T Heated Grips

    So after my break down of the throttle sleeve tab sans heated grip, I ordered Kury grips. It looks like the tank is hinged and comes up like a hood. How does that happen? The rest seems pretty straight forward. The wiring runs inside the grip and through the handlebar hole then connects to...

    R3T Tees and other Accesssories

    Love the bolt on stuff, even though it's limited. Not really keen on the McQueen gear. Are there any straight forward Rocket Tees? Not the caricature steroid looking images, but more dignified Tees, hats, jackets?

    Jonesin' To Saddle Up the R3T

    Side bag scuffs

    Hi Ya, I've been on my bike 6 times (bought it a month ago right when winter temps hit) and have scuffed the side bag twice. Is there any clear film products or other products that wd. help prevent scuffing the bags when my clumsy feet hit the bags? Lots of layers of wax, maybe? Thanks, Cat

    Newbie Questions about the R3T

    Hey Gang, Love my 2013 R3T even though it’s put up for the winter (-14 wc today). I managed to put on 150 miles or so last weekend. Love it so far. I love how the R3T handles in slow maneuvers. On the Rocket I'm much more at ease than on my Gold Wing in general. It's amazing. Have a few...

    Thinking I need a Rocket

    Hi Gang, I’m a big Brit Bike fan and own a ’03 Speedy since new and an old ’70 BSA Lightning that’s in storage. I also own an ’80 LTD 1000 and ride mostly my (bought new) ’08 Goldwing. The GW is great for what it does but I have some comfort/neck problems with the bike, which some riders...
