    ****ed Gear Position Switch

    I have a '13 Touring, and the GPS has been screwing quite often. I open it up, clean it, relube it and put it back together again. After a few miles, it messes up again and doesn't indicate neutral. Since this is the only gear indicated on this machine, what happens if I just disconnect it...

    Gear position switch

    I have a '13 Touring and it can't seen to give me a green light for neutral. As a result, everytime I put the stand down, the engine shuts off. Before I remove the little cover plate on the switch housing, is there any cautions or issues I should be aware of? Anyone have pics of what I might...

    T3350900 shifter pedal washer

    Does anyone know anything about this washer? It looks like a felt, fiber, or leather washer and mine is falling apart! The diagram says it's a 6.4x11x1.6 size, shown as #17, but doesn't say what the material is. The part number is T3350900 The diagram doesn't show a similar washer between...

    Tire fitment

    I have found a great price for a 180/65-16 rear tire for my 2013 RIII touring. Does anybody know if the drop from a 70 to a 65 will affect how the tire fits on the bike? Clearance shouldn't be a problem, but...better safe than sorry! I know that the drop in size will cause about a 2mph error...

    Tire help

    OK, here's the deal. Its time for me to rid myself of the Metzelers that are on my '13 Rocket III Touring. I really like what I read about the Avon Cobra Chromes, and I want to go with front and rear whitewalls (I know...makes it look like Grandpa's bike!). I am confused as to the best sizes...

    This is NOT a plug for a certain product!!

    I recently installed an air horn on my RIII Touring and it is LOUD! installation was fairly straight-forward using a relay in the circuit. I hate the puny-ass horn that Triumph thinks is adequate for American hiways, but it can't be heard for **** over freeway noise. They will definitely hear...

    Never send a boy to do a mans job!

    Yesterday, my friends son asked to help work on my '13 RIII Touring, so I told him how to check the oil (run engine briefly, shut it off and wait 10 minutes and check the dip stick). I then told him to add a little oil if it was below the lines on the stick. I guess I wasn't clear enough when...

    Throttle locks

    I am sure this has been addressed in this forum before, but...well, I can't seem to find it! Does anyone have any recommendations for a self installed throttle lock device that actually, safely, gives some degree of holding the throttle in place. I have arthritis in my throttle hand, and...

    Honk Honk!

    Has anybody installed an air horn to their R3T? I HATE the little beep beep horn that comes stock! How difficult is such an installation? I would like to install a Farbin 12 Volt 150Db horn. Thanks for any information!

    I broke my radiator!!

    I am not sure how I managed to do this, but I broke the nipple off of the radiator at the area where the little radiator cap is that comes off the left side. It goes from the radiator to the coolant tank. It appears that the nipple pulled out of the radiator. Does anyone know if this is...

    Never Re-invent the wheel

    Like my thread title says, I never like to try something unfamiliar when I can be somewhat sure that someone has done the same work before! I recently purchased a tank bra for my 2013 R3T and I know I have to pull the instrument panel off of the tank to install it. My question is...what will I...
