    Rivco Risers install issues

    What I thought was going to be an easy upgrade has apparently been incredibly difficult. My '18 R3R has been in the shop since I high sided it back in November of last year. I asked them to install the Rivco's for me while the bike was there. Yesterday I got a call from the Service Department...

    Want to Buy Crashed Bike, Need Parts

    I really question my wisdom buying my 2018 R3R. The bike isn't even 4 years old, and some parts required to complete my repair are either not in stock. not available or worse yet, obsolete. How the F--K can anything having to do with a 4 year old bike be obsolete? She's been in the shop since...

    Want to Buy Crash Bars for 2018 Roadster.

    Anyone have crash bars, aka engine dresser bars for an '18 Roadster? Why does Triumph discontinue making accessories for the old model Rocket so soon after or even before they cease production? W.T.

    Want to Buy TOR's for 2018 Roadster

    I high sided my Rocket back in November and the left side of the exhaust took a beating. When I bought the bike new back in '18, the dealer had to look long and hard for a set of TOR's for my bike. I'm anticipating that they'll be even more difficulty trying to find TOR's now. If anyone has a...

    Front end shimmy

    I have my '18 R3R at a reputable local shop (Mickey Cohen Motorsports) for suspension upgrades and to solve a front end shimmy issue on decel. According to Mick, the problem is a flat spot on the OEM Metzler from the bike sitting too long in between rides. He's replacing it with an Avon (I...

    Lightweight wheels

    Has anyone tried fitting BST wheels or any other lightweight wheels to their Rocket? Was it worth it, either for the performance improvement or the bling factor? I swapped the stock cast wheels for forged OZ wheels on my Ducati and got improved handling AND bling.

    Head shake on decel

    A funny thing happened to me yesterday. Throttle closed or nearly closed, in 2nd or 3rd, I took both hands off the bars as I was coming up on a red light. As I did this, the front end of my R3R, shook side to side. I've always associated this behavior with higher speeds. Does anyone on here have...

    Tire pressure

    What are you using for tire pressure on your bike? It's my feeling that the pressures listed in the owners manual are on the high side.

    87 vs 91 octane fuel

    Can anyone give me a reason why I should run 91 octane when my owners manual calls for 87? I've been told by a reputable local tuner with 30 years of experience working on Triumphs that 91 will allow my bike to run cooler, while 87 would produce more h.p.

    Shock suggestions

    I'm thinking of upgrading the shocks on my '18 R3R. When I hit expansion joints on the freeway or dips in the pavement, it sends a painful jolt right up my back. I've been told the stock suspension is quite good and not in need of upgrading. However if anyone can give me suggestions as to what...

    Dyno tuning

    Has anyone taken their bike in to have it dyno tuned after making intake and exhaust mods? Was it worth it? I have a reputable motorcycle tune shop (Mickey Cohen Motorsports) near me, and am planning on taking my '18 Roadster to him.

    Viking vs. Dave Platt crossover

    I'm trying to decide between the Viking and Dave Platt crossover for my 2018 Roadster. The Dave Platt pipe is certainly more attractive, as it's made from stainless steel, but I'm more interested in performance and proper fitment. Any suggestions?

    Uneven TOR exhaust

    So, I had the dealer swap the stock exhaust for the tor pipes and now they look uneven. The left side hangs a good one inch lower than the right. When I asked the mechanic who worked on my bike about it, he basically told me that there's only one way they go on and I got the impression that I'm...

    Swirl marks on tank 2018 R3R

    So, I noticed today that there were swirl marks in the tank finish on my brand new phantom black Roadster. I consulted the dealer about the problem and they are filing a claim with Triumph. I may end up getting a replacement tank out of it. I'd be cool if the dealer would just find a detail guy...

    Forward controls vs highway pegs

    So, after I get my seat sorted on my '18 R3R, I may need to do something with the footpegs. The bike has a very cramped riding position for me (6'6", 34" inseam) as the distance between the stock seat and stock pegs is too short. As with every other bike I own, I'll have to modify the beast to...

    New R3R Owner

    Hello everyone. I come from a dirt bike background. Bought my first street bike 10 years ago, a Ducati Hypermotard 1100. I've been looking at this forum for quite a while as I was interested in the Rocket 3 Roadster. Well, I purchased a 2018 phantom black R3R last Friday and love everything...
