    Easy brackets with harbor freight panniers (photos)

    when i owned a HD, i could find both form and function options for my bike and first thing i learned as owning a R3R, the bike has been the same style for 10 years and because of the very limited aftermarket options, it's near impossible to dial in a look beyond stock. this is a great example...

    One year gone by...

    had my R3R for 2 months and while the bike continues to shrink the more I ride, I also see that it's forever going to be wide too. I ride split lane on the busiest freeway on earth every day and I can't zip through like nearly every other bike. I'll slowed down 10-15 mph to get through safely.

    Black Triumph Teardrop Mirrors on R3?

    I bought my R3 with no mirrors, so it was my first buy. I got the black teardrops because the teardrop, along with circles, is a theme on the bike.

    I listen to music and often sign very loud and having a full face lets me do that without shame.

    Roadster 2-up and other questions from someone looking

    Rocket 3 was my first love and second bike. I got a deal on a HD that couldn't be passed up and rode it happily for 2 years and then saw my R3 in a shop and that was it, rode away that day. My only advice is, if the Rocket feels much different than any bike you ride, don't be discouraged, I had...

    Sunglasses what do you use while riding?

    best glasses have flexible enough stems for your helmet. With my full-face, i need softer stems. Oakley M-Frames or Wiley-X are great choices with lots of frame colors and shades

    Custom Plates

    Just got my bike and I saw that my first choice of, TWOTONE is taken in Cali, but will go with DOUTONE, instead. Goes to the bike's black and white paint and my love of British Ska too

    Attention Grabber

    my last four mailing addresses were Ramadi, Baghdad, Kandahar, and Reno. I'll suffer the slings and arrows if I mis-speak. *yellow happy face*

    Attention Grabber

    Forgive if i'm stating a well known point, but in SoCAl, in the Santa Monica Mountains near Malibu is Mulholland Hwy and the infamous Rock Store. I live near it and visit occasionally on the weekend and this is THE place to see and be seen, Jay Leno and other Celeb riders are frequent visitors...

    I'll stick to the old fashioned way thanks.

    I thought hoax cause the camera man didn't pan as the truck hit and he didn't run to the scene. ANY news cameraman would track the movement esp if it was an accident, IMO.

    The cost of honor? it's $60

    Full Circle. Born and raised in SoCal-LA, moved to Idaho for 2 dozen years, overseas 10 years, back in LA. I valued practical advice on the HD forum i followed and WOW was the political stuff hardcore there. I have little plans to tinker on the R3, that was not smart to do on a HD too, too much...

    Z bars handlebars

    I liked BR Custom bars when I had an HD and they will configure the bars to your dimensions and looks too. You'll pay more than mail order bars, but will have exactly what you envision.

    The cost of honor? it's $60

    To clarify, I did sic my insurance on his, for the full damage and service. I worked as a civilian for the USO on bases, so while I'm proud of my work, I didn't serve in uniform.

    The cost of honor? it's $60

    Short story, I was 8 years in the Mid-east working and by the end of 2013 i'm gonna buy my "came back to the states bike", always wanting a Rocket, but picked up a HD on Repo at an unbeatable price. Came home, rode the HD for 2 years but found my R3 here in SoCal with 1663 miles and I get it on...

    An American Muscle Car...On Two Wheels

    I had to make sure your post wasn't written by me on Ambien, so similiar! I have a 2014 with white stripes, wanting the fly screen too. this is my daily driver but will get all the bags and gear for cruising, camping even the beach (still in LA). Appeal no HD ever had and that's saying a lot on...
