  2. New R3 in Cedar Rapids, IA

    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...

  10. The #1 reason why the r3t does not sell well

    I have now owned my new 011 R3T for just over six months, but have only 3,000 miles on the bike due to a super hot summer. After purchasing the bike, I began to wonder why a bike I liked so much could be a dead seller in the states. Coming off of a late model six speed Harley Street Glide, at...

    As usual, the price is commensurate with the materials. I realized a substantial reduction is materials cost due to a reduction in the overall metals market. I was able to procure Carpenter Technologies Number 8 mirrir polished stainless sheet at a substantial reduction in cost...

    I have been considering purchasing a custom or at least alternative exhaust, before I lay coins to it, just can't decide whether or not to start chopping the stock exhaust to try to achieve my objectives. More noise (not obnoxious, just more) with more hp and minimal cost. I will soon have...
  17. Headlight not working on 2009 R3T

    Noticed my headlight not working today; neither low, nor hi beam. Aux/fog lights work fine. The tiny little aux bulb inside the bucket lights up, but not the main bulb. I have the EB relay. What's typical life of bulb? Any easy stuff to try before I buy a new bulb? I've been riding since 1970...
