    Panic, Saddlebag Lid Lock Fail

    Squirted graphite into the locks. That did the trick. :thumbsup:

    Panic, Saddlebag Lid Lock Fail

    Good grief. This shaved about 5 years off my life. I've never used the lid locks on my 2008 Touring model. When checking them out of curiosity to see which of my keys locked them(ignition key) I could easily lock them by turning the key 90 degrees and remove the key but I could not unlock...

    '08 Touring Saddlebag Lids Will Not Open

    I thought I had replied with my fix long ago but apparently not. All was well way back then after dismantling everything in the bag lock mechanism and lubricating.

    By the way, R-III-R Turbo, seeing that you are in Ireland, I must say your very detailed and informational reply made me feel like I won the Irish Sweepstakes! :)

    Gear Position Sensor

    Having read recommendations about cleaning sensors I removed the GPS on my '08 R3 Touring model. I used electrical contact cleaner. I was surprised by a couple things, first, the sensor does not look like pictures I have seen and second, I did not find a plunger spring that I have read about...

    Anyone ever mounted a Triumph Top Box T2356395 on an R3T?

    **** it, I sold my 2001 Valkyrie Interstate back in 2009 so I could buy my 2009 Harley Ultra. Dumb. :(

    Lockable fuel cap for The 2013 Rocket III Touring

    That was the first "mod" I did to my '08 Touring when I bought it a couple years ago, brand new on eBay. I think it was 50 bucks, sheesh. :( I never actually use the lock, I just like the "Triumph" logo embossed on the cap. 🙂

    Front blinker relocation

    Interesting. My bro-in-law gave me LED turn signal strips for my Harley Ultra for Christmas. They will look good on my batwing fairing. But good F-ing grief, the wires are infinitesimally small and I have XXXL hands, plus being essentially blind in my right eye. Ended up short-circuiting a...

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    👍 I do virtually the same thing using channel lock pliers to crush and twist off the filter on my Harley with a hard to reach filter.

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    Seeing you are on Prince Edward Island I immediately thought, "Hey, I've been there!" Well, wrong again. After clicking on your location I see I was actually over 6000 km's away on the West coast of Canada in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. By the way, your brake work reminds me I had to...

    Cat Removal Questions

    I guess that explains why it is so much smaller than the one on my Classic. 👍

    Cat Removal Questions

    Appreciate the offer but the bike has already been dyno tuned by previous owner to run like a scalded cat. I assume there must be something inside the cat box , but who knows?

    Cat Removal Questions

    Well, my questions apply to both Rocket models that I have. My 2008 Touring has D & D pipes but the cat box, not in the pipes, is still installed, came that way from the second owner, I'm the third owner at the trough, as usual. :roll: PS Now you have me wondering if my Touring bike has a...

    Cat Removal Questions

    One of the first things done to my '09 Harley Ultra when new was cats removal and new headers/pipes installed. On my two Rockets I've never felt the need to do that considering how powerful they are as is with the cat boxes still in there. However my Brother-in-law, a retired welder/metal...

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    No leather, other than the OEM leather pouch on the windshield and the one on the passenger backrest. I have the original vinyl seat which suits me fine with little to no maintenance other than vinyl cleaner/conditioner occasionally. As far as my seat getting wet, it doesn't. When caught in...

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    Thanks for the picture, I see what you mean. I am so old, older than dirt, that I doubt I'd get any scuffs over the rider's seat because I can't lift my leg up to get over the seat. I have to swing my leg over the the pillion, ain't getting much easier as time marches on. Anyway, thanks for...

    What have you done to your R3T lately

    Looking forward to your future reports about this. The original seat on my '08 Touring is in good shape overall but the passenger part has scuff/drag marks from previous owner's boots. Is your after market seat leather or vinyl?

    Problem with the Touring model

    This reminds me of a very close call a few months ago on my '08 Touring, non ABS. After seeing I was fast approaching the back end of cars stopped where the I805 merges with the I15 North on a 4 lane freeway I locked up the rear end and it swung around almost completely to a right angle to my...
