  5. Why R3 front end won't work well on RIIIs

    I was considering this swap, primarily for the offset axle which provides extra trail for a given fork angle. Posting for anyone who might search for it in the future. As it turns out this is a non-starter, for an odd reason. Online, you'll find a 27.9 degree steering angle often repeated...

  7. Quick survey comparing the RIII & R3 vibration

    I can't help but notice quite a bit more vibration when going gently up through the gears on my R3 GT, especially in 2nd gear close to 2000 - 2500 rpm (but fine above this). My old 2004 Classic was silky smooth right down to tickover speeds (when poodling through traffic etc) and accelerated...

    Anyone with a 2020 or newer Rocket 3 changed their brakes yet? I'm coming up on 40,000km (25,000miles) and with another long trip in a few weeks I'm just curious what others are seeing with respect to their brakes? I truly get that it depends on the rider, the riding style, the roads, the...
  11. My Nephew's '14 R3

    I have a nephew who is a bona fide salt of earth fella. He picked this '14 R3 up for a song and I promised I'd get it cleaned up if he'd get it over to me. The paint was in pretty bad shape, but I was able to remove about 99% of the marring and swirling. Touchless Wash - CARPRO -Lift 2...

    Has anybody had trouble with the LCD display not staying and keek dropping no matter how much you tighten it up? If so how were they able to get it to stay put?

    Hey guys, I recently sprung an oil leak on my 08 Rocket III Touring that has me scratching my head. Was hoping some else might have ran into this before.
