    LED headlights / fog lights

    For my 2015 R3T, I have the Truck Lite headlight [27270C] and driving lights [80245]. They are LED. Head light is plug and play and driving lights had to be wired in. I like them a lot. Chrome look was not available so I got the smoked look. They look OK on the bike when it is just sitting...

    Has anyone installed Utopia driver's backrest on R3T?

    Need a backrest. I watched the video on YouTube installing on another bike model. Has anyone here made the installation themselves? If so, was it a challenge? What are issues to watch for? Thanks, Dave.

    R3T - What is the bolt for on RH side behind Engine guard?

    Attached is a picture of the horn installed horizontally. To the upper right of the Denali logo are three white spacers. This is the original mount location. A small flat mounting bracket moved the horn more to the center. Have better clearance between the horn and the top of the fender and...

    R3T - What is the bolt for on RH side behind Engine guard?

    I am looking for an alternative mounting location for a Denali Soundbomb Compact Air Horn. The horn is currently mounted where the old horn was and there is not enough room between the bottom of the horn and the top of the front fender - ask me how I know!! Before I go and remove any bolts I...

    Check Engine Light On After Washing Bike

    The title of the thread says it all. Washed bike last night before putting it to bed inside the machine shed. Never had the light come on before and it is at 11,000 miles. It came on after washing the bike. I did not wash the bike any differently than before. I assume something got wet and...

    Final Drive Drain Plug stripped?

    I picked up the bike on Saturday and the results are in: 4 hours of labor and the total bull was $476. They drilled the plug out and retapped to a larger size and added a crush washer as a seal. Filled it up with fluid and let it sit for a week with no leaks. So on the way home my wife...

    Final Drive Drain Plug stripped?

    What is the opinion on this. I cannot get it to come out. I am working on it as I post. Since no oil is leaking, would I be safe in running it? Not sure if the oil viscosity changes, becoming thinner, and could leak out. Also does anyone know if there is pressure build up inside the final...

    Final Drive Drain Plug stripped?

    I am not sure what you are describing. I have a pair of needle nose vise grips and got a better grip on the head. It still will not come out when I apply force.

    Final Drive Drain Plug stripped?

    I was doing the 10K oil change yesterday morning and while everything was off I thought i would drain the final drive oil and replace. I know it is a 20K change but it is not expensive, I have the oil and I wanted to spend time working on the bike so 'what the heck'. After draining the oil I...

    Question on Selling Bike

    This question may sound like - "Are you kiddin' me, he's asking this? - but I am curious. Now that I have spent an a$$load of money on the R3T and have become spoiled riding it, I am going to sell the America. I have no need for 2 bikes at this point in my life. When any of you have had...

    I bought Emgo Net Nuts for the R3T. I am posting pictures in case it helps anyone else. I was looking for additional tie down points that would help to secure items sitting on top of the seat and did not want run straps all over the bike. M8 x 1.25 is thread size - 85-83404 is the part...

    Quarter Turn Studs on R3T panniers - Any Other Connection Options?

    My right side pannier comes off easy - the left side is another story. The center hole in the quarter turn receptacle is all boogered up. Taking the panniers off and putting back on repeatedly for cleaning/maintenance/etc, has caused the center hole to get wallowed out. I have a new part on...

    Shop/repair manual

    Check with Hermys - www.triumphestore.com. I ordered some parts the other day and they emailed me due to an item being delayed in shipment. Shipping costs are very reasonable. They have updated their website to show the latest model years of all products. It makes it really easy to drill...

I had some time yesterday and with warmer weather, I took the battery out and started to trace the...

    Warp, Not sure if your comment is for me or Marty. I run 4 lane and 2 lane. Usually run about 10 miles over speed limit. When accelerating from a stop I do get on it. Have no cruise control or throttle lock. Any ideas?
