    LED headlights / fog lights

    They look like insect eyes (in a cool way), I imagine they would put out a lot of light! Can you share a link to where you got them or the manufacturer / model details? Also, slightly off topic, where did you get the chrome housing and horn cover? I'm thinking of blinging up my beast a little. :)

    Is it a lemon?

    Thanks for the correction, you're right it was the valve cover gasket. Didn't expect this at all. I thought only Harleys rattled themselves apart. Having the warranty cover the work is nice, but this is not my weekend joy ride, I use it every day. So far it's been in the shop a total of...

    Is it a lemon?

    Yes, CA lemon law covers motorcycles and other vehicles as well. I don't want to deal with lawyers. I spoke with the dealer on Friday and threw out the word 'lemon law' and they are going to talk to the manufacturer to see what they have to offer.

    Is it a lemon?

    In the back of my mind I have a haunting concern that something else is going to break that will be more catastrophic (i.e. cause an accident).

    Is it a lemon?

    Trans and head gasket were covered, however Triumph seemed to have dragged the trans repair out for a month with delays in providing parts. I was wondering about the coolant doodad if someone over-torqued the housing, but the shop hasn't fessed up. I'm getting ready to cry foul (California...

    Is it a lemon?

    I purchased an R3 Roadster last year, MY 2017, and have had 3 issues which to me seem like factory defects. Transmission issue - dog worn and 2nd gear slipping after only 2500 miles. Head gasket blew out - just past 5k Cracked radiator connection housing - a few days after head gasket was...

    LED headlights / fog lights

    Thank you. The dealer found me a couple 3rd party lights as well. If the Halo's don't work out will try these: or these: Triumph Rocket III Dual LED Headlight bulb Upgrade Kit and Marker Light Kit from Sport Bike Lites

    LED headlights / fog lights

    Thank you I appreciate your advice. My daily commute is 15 to 20 miles each way on a lit highway and I make it a point to leave work with enough time to get home before dark. I don't like riding in the dark because even with my contact lenses on and without my eyes being tired from staring at...

    LED headlights / fog lights

    That's how I ride because Exhibit A says it all! But I know for certain bright lights get attention (assuming some drivers are paying attention to their driving). I will take every advantage I can get, with the understanding of Exhibit A being foremost consideration though. Plus the coolness...

    LED headlights / fog lights

    I appreciate your input. I mainly want to be seen on the road, day or night, by other vehicles without spending a lot of money. I don't do a lot of night riding, but maybe when I retire :) I'm leaning towards complete headlight replacement instead of bulbs. There's not a lot of room in the...

    LED headlights / fog lights

    Thank you everyone, I really appreciate all the info. Trying not to spend more than a couple hundred dollars for a pair (JW Speaker Adaptive are out) so I'm zeroing in on AUSI or OSRAM headlight replacements first. If those aren't bright enough I'll look at adding some fog lights.

    LED headlights / fog lights

    I didn't realize that the headlights for the Touring and Roadster models were different. I have a Roadster with 2 smaller lights. Couldn't find a Truck Lite model in 5 3/4" on Amazon, do you know if they make one?

    You're right! What was I thinking! I am cool!

    LED headlights / fog lights

    Anyone have a recommendation for LED bulbs to replace the stock headlight bulbs? What about fog lights, which ones look good on the R3? I want to increase my visibility and look cool
