    Roadster seat modification

    Hi, wonder if someone might help. I'm beginning to think my rider's seat might have been cut down by the PO. The reason is, the vinyl cover is some way from the foam, sort of stretched over, probably nearly an inch gap in the middle of the seat. Question - does the seat cover sit firmly...

    Wheel Colour

    So I'm getting my wheels powder coated, which means a single colo(u)r. I've asked if they can get close to the alloy colour but I'm thinking gloss black might look good. My bike (in avatar) is quite glossy/shiny. Any thoughts? Has anyone got black wheels on a Roadster?

    Exhaust Header Question

    It seems like once you’ve done end cans and air filter, the next step in increasing performance before resorting to engine work/forced induction is less restrictive headers. There are several options discussed on the site that seem to work well. However, they are all ‘curly’ shaped (you know...

    Another oil change question 2012 R3R

    Despite reading the manual, instead of the drain bolts I removed one of other two smaller plugs in the sump. It did a pretty good job of draining the crankcase. I assume this is not a problem; I can just refit it, maybe with some thread lock? I can't find the torque setting in the manual so I...

    Ramair installed

    So I just installed my Black Friday bargain Ramair. I was a little worried as I'd always taken bikes to the shop for this sort of think but I had the instructions plus a video off Youtube so I decided to give it a go. It was easy.The Youtube video and the instructions are both good...

    Rocket in Spain

    If you're thinking of touring on your R3, especially to Spain, just do it. I just got back from a 2000 mile trip around Spain on my R3 Roadster. I started and finished in Bilbao via Almeria (where I stayed for a week) and a few other places including Zaragoza, Toledo, Madrid (by accident)...

    Rear wheel refitting

    So I decided to remove and refit my own wheels for a tyre change. Anyway, after a lot of sweating and swearing the front's on. The back is almost there but I have a couple of problems. One, the wheel doesn't look like it's seated properly. I wiggled it on as far as it would go but it's 6-7 mm...

    Bevel Box removal

    Seems to be the easy bit. Wheels were off for new tyres so as per recommendations here I removed the bevel box to 'grease the splines'. So I did that, but am having trouble putting the bevel box back on. The actual shaft drops to the bottom of the shaft tube and I can't get the bevel drive in...

    What lift is this?

    Hi, I inherited this with my R3R. Anybody recognise it? The 13mm pins won't fit the 8mm holes in my frame. I'm not keen on drilling out the frame; if I got the pins reduced would they be strong enough? thanks

    R3R 2012 with Dave Platt cans

    Hi, I have a standard 2012 Roadster and have ordered a set of Dave Platt end cans. Now I assume they are similar to the TORs in terms of fuelling, etc. My medium term plan is to get a Ramair and get it Dyno'd. In the short term, in advance of getting the Dyno work done, what would be the best...

    Newbie from UK

    Hello, another new member from UK Midlands (near Derby for anyone who knows). My first foray into the world of cruisers having had much more sporty bikes until now. So far so good though, I love the Rocket. :) A bit nervous about joining club with all you Americans and, from experience with...
