Does anyone know where I might be able to find a set of passenger floorboards other than going to the dealer or bike bandit? I've been looking at ebay and searching for motorcycle salvage yards with no luck so far. I bought my '08 R3T set up as a solo bike and the previous owner removed the...
Due to current budgetary concerns and a recent flat tire on my Rocket, I think I am going to be brave this time and try out a set of Bridgestone Exedra tires. Bridgestone makes the Exedra G701 in a 150/80HR-17 for $145.99 at Bridgestone Exedra G701 Front Tire - Cruiser Motorcycle - Motorcycle...
Help needed guys. I have never owned a British bike and have had great memories from riding Japanese bikes from the UK across Europe. I moved to Canada in 94 n had kids blah blah blah........ but now have the itch to get back on 2 wheels and fallen in love with a 2005 R3. I was on a forum that...
Totaled my 2011 Road Glude Ultra last month now Waiting for my 08 R3 Roadster to arrive.
Have had 6 harleys now trying a Triumph. Really not a fan of the V twin engine. Like the concept of the three, watetr cooling and shaft drive.
Cheers
These are not from me, but if they are Triumph's Comfort shocks someone could get a deal. Just posting incase anyone is interested. I have a set on mine and they are the best shocks I've had.

NewR3 website shows the easy start headlight control module. This I would think would stop the extra voltage going through the start button. Anyone here have one installed? I know there is a relay setup with inline fuse to keep the start button from burning out and I am wondering if this also...
I have had my R3T for two seasons. Its a unique bike. I came to it in recent years from sport touring/adventure type bikes (ST1100, V-Strom 1000, Moto Guzzi Norge, K1200Rsport, R1200GS, FJR 1300 to name a few). I am surprised how well I like it. I look forward to participating in the forum.
As you can imagine, my R3 engine uses much stronger valve springs. One of the things I'm concerned about is the stock cam chain. IMO better to source a stronger chain than replace the cam chain for every race. Precision cam chains which are heat treated, hard coated and 30% stronger can be...
Hi all,
Does anybody know of a decent flyscreen for the R3 Touring? Preferably quick-release so I can switch back and forth between my touring screen and the flyscreen when I want to.
I know there's an OEM flyscreen but it looks to be more decoration than actual wind-deflecting function so...
Well, I had another one come off today. :mad:
Out for a little ride and on the last 10 miles from home, I coming up through the reservation. On a nice two lane road had a little car tailing me as we passed slower moving traffic. Finally decided to put some room between myself and the little...
Hello all, I just picked up a beautiful 2006 R3 classic with only 956 miles about a month ago. I also own a 2000 Sprint RS, 2002 Daytona, and 2003 Tiger. I hope to find useful information here for my R3. I am satisfied with the power, I am getting used to the non-sport riding position, but I am...
Does anyone know if the Roadster silencers/cross-over pipes would bolt up to the R3 or R3C downpipes without mods please?
Not that I would want to fit cat containing silences but if some aftermarket stuff comes up for the Roadster and it would fit my R3C it would be handy to know.
Thanks
For those with an R3T, how much free play do you have in your top yoke? If you grab the bar ends and lift, how much movement do you get?
I've read that the top yoke can fail, resulting in excess play. I have about 1/2 inch movement measured at the bar ends. Also, for those that can check, do...
I just wanted to put in a good word about this amazing company that sells clocks for bikes. Clocks4Bikes motorcycle handlebar clock, thermometers, stem nut clocks, road king lock clock
I bought a handlebar clock for my Rocket 2 years ago and sometime during my trip out to the East Coast it had...
Hello from Iowa! I'm new to this site and R3 ownership. I just took delivery of an 06 Classic three weeks ago. My only regret is winter is coming and I probably have only a few more 40+ degree riding days left.
I knew the Rocket would be a beast, but I have to admit I'm surprised at how well...
Stole my 2005 R3 from the local HD/Triumph dealer yesterday for $6495, 7400 miles.. Corbin seat on the way, courtesy of the dealer (long story). First ride, about 60 miles today. OMG! I kept my GL1800 for when the wife wants a sedate day out, but this is my new date!
Finally, the ex-pat Brit...
Has anyone here removed the visors from their headlamp and passing lamp trim rings? if so, how did you do it? If not, does anyone here know if the visor can be removed from the lamp trim ring?
Went to the National Motorcycle Museum at Meriden recently and they have a Red R3 on display. More people taking pictures of it than any other bike in the museum. A great day out and huge collection of british bikes and information. Any of the guys from Aus and/or the US coming over here you...
