    Thinking about selling my Super Charged R3

    This isn't a ad to sell my Rocket (at least not yet). I have a 2006 R3 with the Rotrex Blower. It had pretty much everything you can buy on it. It has 6500 miles and runs absolutely perfect. It has also had the complete Triumph "upgrade" kit installed. The kit that replaced the parts in the...

    R3T in Hendersonville, NC

    There was a black and red R3T in Hendersonville, NC last night on Main street. Stock exhaust, rounded looking hard bags, two up. Who dat was ? We were at the Irish Pub dining street side when you went by. Our Rocket was parked down on a side street like any good outlaw would do.

  5. ABS question from prospective R3 owner

    Anyone's R3T Headlight Reflector Fogging Up?

    Bought a used R3T in Jan 2010. Noticed that the headlight reflector was fogged with something. It wasn't water moisture cause when I tried to wipe it off with a microfiber towel thru the bulb hole, the towel was coated with a yellowish substance. It cleaned up pretty good, but was back again in...

    R3T Replacement Battery

    OK. My OEM Battery on my 09 R3T is still working OK, but I have no desire to be stranded one day when it goes belly up, so I'm looking to prophylactically replace it. I have focused on the Scorpion YTX20HL-BS (YTX20HL-BS Scorpion 12 Volt Powersport Battery) but have recently become...

    Mileage and the R3T

    Over the past year I've made what I believe to be an absolutely accurate observation regarding the R3T and it's fuel mileage. The Touring is VERY sensitive to the windscreen being used. I've documented the fact that using the short screen supplied with he bike will yield between 2.5 and 6...

    09 R3T Trunk option

    Finally back from the paint shop. It would have been nice if Triumph offered a trunk and fairing option but with a little work you can make aftermarket parts work. The trunk(tour pack) was off a recked HD.The fairing is from Reckless Motorcycles.com. I mounted it to the stock quick change mount...

    Possible new tire choice for r3t rear

    In the model year 2009 and up, Harley put a wider rear tire on all of their touring bikes. This tire is a "dual compound tire." Harder in the center and softer on the sides. The tire is made by Dunlop. The size is 180X65/16. Ours are 180X70/16. Anyone looked at this tire? Would going from a 70...

    My Metzlers were nearly bald with 13,000 miles on the front and 10,500 miles on the rear. I had to replace the OEM rear at 2500 miles when it was punctured picking up a nail. I looked around on the internet for a longer lasting tire and came across the new Michelin Commander II which is claimed...

    I signed the papers for a 2011 R3R

    I stopped in at my local dealer (170 miles away) and signed all the loan papers and all the rest of the papers on their last 2011 R3 Roadster. I didn't bring it home due to accessories that need to be ordered and installed. I even called the insurance company to start an insurance policy. I hope...
