Bought my R3 (on ebay) and plane tickets for my wife and myself 11 months ago and rode it 1500 miles home. By far the BEST streetbike I've ever riden. There is no upgrade from here :).
I've frequented this site several times to pick up advice (and others' errors) on upgrades. The most...
Hi,
FastEddie from Canada. Bought my Roadster last week, and love it. The people at r3... say their risers do not fit the Roadster, and thoughts?
The horn on my bike is simply too wimpy for the bike, need a more MANLY horn.
cheers,
FastEddie
Hey, everybody, I've been off the site for a while, been busy! Retired from the Air Force after 25+ years and have relocated to the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. The Rocket made it from Virginia without a scratch (so did my ElectraGlide and my wife's Sporty), and am looking forward to enjoying the...
I am a Professional Firefighter and Paramedic. I have been riding since I was 4. I got my first new Triumph in 03 and have been very happy with the company and the quality of my bikes.
I have an 08 R3T. 44,000 miles. D&D exhaust with R3T off-road tune and UNI filter. I am a Darksider running...
Look at what I saw in my dealer today :eek:
Further investigation reveals that they did the paintwork themselves, but they look really cool (maybe a bit too black on the tank?)
While at Daytona bike week, I met some guys from Wide Open custom fairings. For the price of a corbin, you can get these with a Jensen marine cd player, and 4 four inch marine speakers. I mean these puppies scream. The only problem is, they make them for many models except the Rocket 3 with dual...
Was looking around on ebay and found a new oem set of exhaust for a R3T for a pretty cheap price from the OKC dealer. I called them and asked about them and they informed me that they were a up grade from the factory oem mufflers and would require a re tune. Starting bid with no bidders as of...

Anybody had any experience with these? They offer K&N filter and exhaust package. Reflash required from dealer. How is sound and performance? What about decel? Popping and such? Finally if all is well, where is best price? I have D&D on my Victory and they are top quality, but expensive.
Once I located the proper coupling, the install was easy. Grounded it to an existing ground, and spilced red side to a switched hot wire. Gear indicator works flawlessly, but I did have to go thru the "learn" process. Also very easy.
Only disappointment is that performance-wise, I can tell no...
Is anyone running a lowered R3 & DS? Any problems? Thinking of running DS, but have the bike lowered about an inch in the rear (vertically challenged) and was wondering if there is still clearance.
Greeting, a newbe with an '08 R3T.
Hoping for advice / comments about this muscle bike.
Former Valkrie rider............. but will keep it as a back-up bike.
Question, can anyone share with me what's up with the gas gauge issue? ( reading empty with light -on then only taking 3.5 gallons to fill.
Team: I have a R3R with 900 miles on it which developed a pinhole in a spark plug lead (#3) and I tried to put a rubber hose over it with RTV non conductive and wire ties as a temp fix but it still arcs to the eng. case. Soooooo, I called my dealer who is 60 miles away and asked them for a new...
2011 Rocket Roadster
Has anyone ever heard a dealer talk about Gear Backlash in the transmission. When I roll on the throttle in 5th gear at 120kph pulling 2800-2900rpms there is a notiable clunking sound that is felt in the foot pegs. This clunking will go away once the rpms creep above...

since riding a rocket 3 when they first came out, i've been wanting to buy one. i finally found one about 180 miles away, my 08 classic. i got it from a 69 year old guy who was afraid of it and sold it to me so he could get a goldwing. 3,000 miles and in absolute showroom condition. it romps...
Anyone sporting one of the belly pan/spoilers from The New R3 outfit? The carbon fiber version looks pretty choice. A bit pricey...but all CF chit is high dollar.

I've been on the forum for a couple of weeks, mostly whining about the lack of matte black R3Rs in Texas. Now that I'm an owner (got the black:)), I thought I might introduce myself.
I am 53, live in League City (south of Houston), Texas with my fair princess and three Brittany dogs.
I've been...
I have the Harbor Freight MC lift, and have used it in the past on other bikes. However, on my new (to me) 2009 R3T, using my lift would invilve lifting by the crankcase/oil pan. Is the metal robust enough to be lifted that way? I have seen "lift brackets" by Flip, but cannot see how the front...
