    Go Cruise 2

    I was looking at replacing my original Go Cruise; which eventually broke but worked well enough and lasted for years. Considering it was less than $20, no complaints. As I prep for an upcoming 2300 mile ride I started looking for a replacement. On recommendation from a friend I looked hard...

    Impressed with my new scissors lift...

    I've been looking at scissor lifts as an intermediate lift for some time now. I haven't been impressed with videos I've seen or articles/messages I've read WRT stability and durability. I ran across this little guy, and for what it costs compared to most I wasn't expecting to get it... but...

    R3T Backrest Latch Lock Assembly...

    Every IPB diagram I could find showed the Touring backrest lock assembly as a single identified unit (#15). When it arrived it was the just the lock core and two keys. I"m in need of one of the two screws utilized to attach the rotating stop. I'll have a go at Home Depot on my next trip; but...

    First time brake pad change...

    Thanks to this site and a mostly accurate YouTube video I was able to install a set front/rear EBC brake pads in about 40 minutes. My compliments to the Triumph engineers who made it a fairly straight forward procedure! Though, I didn't follow the maintenance manual for the rear and was able...

    Corrosion control

    I'm a bit dismayed at the corrosion I'm seeing emerge on bolt heads, exhaust clamps and other parts of my '16 HD V-Rod Muscle. I've owned her since new and, when not being ridden, she's spent most of her life covered in a garage (Las Vegas, NV; Shreveport, LA and now Miami, FL). I never use a...

    Reason behind OEM air intake plumbing?

    What's the engineering reason behind the way our R3's are piped for the OEM air intake? I've not modified mine yet; but I plan on installing the RAM AIR in the future. I've often wondered this and am thinking maybe it's really a cost-based solution or possibly keeping engine parts below a...

    Unknown pothole in the shadows caused my HD to drop between the gears...

    The strangest thing (at least to me) happened this morning. I'm cruising to work on my HD V-Rod; taking my normal route at 0530 in the morning darkness... which for traffic here is sometimes very lane specific... when I actually had to change lanes to go around a left-turning truck and go under...

    R3T OEM grips heating up on their own...

    I've had reliable use of my my Triumph OEM heated grips on my '14 R3T until now. Admittedly, she sat for the past 15 months while I was half-way around the world and during her first 5 hour ride home there were no issues; however, on the way to work the other day the grips began to heat on...
