    New Exhaust

    My much-anticipated Viking custom exhaust arrived this afternoon. I knew @Paul Bryant had a reputation for workmanship but pictures just don't do this justice. It's too dark in here for quality shots but I'll post some better pics once I get it mounted.

    Cam Cover Gasket (again)

    So last year I had my cam cover gasket replaced under warranty, as it suffered the known issue of bulging out just forward of the front-most cylinder. My second gasket is now bulging in the same spot, but also it looks like it contracted back underneath the cam cover at the front right corner...

    Roadster won't start after grip replacement

    Hi Gents, So I got a set of Kuryakyn ISO grips for Christmas. The throttle-side grip comes with a new sleeve, so this evening I removed the old throttle grip and installed the new one. To do so required taking the switch housing apart and the master cylinder half off the bars. I also had to...

    Valve cover gasket?

    Hello Gents, I noticed that a bit of gasket has bulged out near the top of the engine on my R3R, just slightly forward of the front-most cylinder on the right-hand side. A few of questions about this. Is it the valve cover gasket I'm looking at? Is this kind of thing typically covered for...

    2016 R3R - Can't find TORs

    I've been poking around trying to find a new set of TOR silencers for my Roadster and can't seem to find any. I'd like to get them straight from Triumph if possible. Their website doesn't list them under Accessories, but they're still an option if you're running through the configurator for a...

    Red hot exhaust headers

    This is likely a stupid question, but I took my Roadster for a night ride this evening and when I got home I noticed the exhaust headers glowing a faint red behind the heat shields. I can't recall ever seeing glowing headers on my previous bike. This thing is still brand-new (400 miles on the...

    Triumph Custom Leather Jacket - Thoughts?

    I love the look of Triumph's custom leather jacket. It's expensive but I don't mind as long as it's a quality jacket. Does anyone here have experience with this one in particular? I'd like to know your thoughts. Triumph Custom Black Leather Jacket | Triumph Motorcycles

    Rocket has ruined me

    Since I got my Roadster a few weeks ago, every other motorcycle I see seems diminished. The bike parking area in the garage at my office is packed with various models every day and they look like dull, uninteresting clones of each other. If Triumph decides to discontinue the line I may need to...

    Price for a new R3R

    A dealer near me is selling a new 2016 R3R for $12,750 plus freight/paperwork/etc. I'm going up there tomorrow morning to buy it. Truth be told I'd pay that price and be happy. I'm thinking of offering between $12k-$12.5k out the door to see if they go for it. Given how far below MSRP the...
