Howdy again,
I had begun my time on this forum as "OzzmanR3" but I was never quite comfortable with that title. I began life on another forum as JoseyR3Wales and that has always been my preference but due to personal misgivings about content elsewhere I chose to use something different here. I...
I'm thinking of moving up to an 08 Tourer from an 02 Honda Shadow Sabre. Going to look at it Friday.
Are there any specific things I should look for? Do most of you pull your own maintenance? Are parts and accessories easy to find? Are there after market exhaust pipes available that are...
I am the excited owner of a new 2010 R3T - picked her up from the showroom on the 11th of December; which coincidently is my wifes birthday - so guess what she got for her birthday??? You guessed it - an R3T and she is absolutely thrilled with it. Anyway we are lovin' the R3T - her name is...

The 2010 R3 Touring that I was looking at yesterday was in solid black, and comes with a lot of extras that would amount to a pile of money if one was to buy it from their catalog.
The biggest knock against this bike is that since it's not a 2011, it doesn't have ABS, apparently the 2011s...
Hi, new guy here!
I was looking at a Rocket III Touring bike at our local Triumph dealer today and was looking at the hard saddlebags, they seem quite roomy, almost look identical to the ones on the Yamaha Royal Star Venture.
But I happened to stumble onto this here web page:
Saddle Bag...
Okay, so I've decided on used R3 Touring model and if all goes well I should be getting one in a couple of weeks (Yeeehaaa...chomping at the bit!!!). Before I go all in and do this... I have a question about the exhaust sound.
Of all the downside features of the R3 (Touring or otherwise) for...
Got rid of the Yamaha 1300 tourer for a brand new 2011 R3T Blk/Wht about a month ago. Liked the Yamaha and have owned several, but love the R3T. Lots more power and easier to ride.
I have read several threads on the forums and learned a lot about upgrading the bike for sound and performance...
The Rocket started jumping out of gear Sunday. Just happened every now and then. Annoying! Yesterday road it to work. It would jump out of second, fourth and third. Would go into neutral (or false neutral) when shifting 1-2 or 2-1, 3-4 or 4-3, 4-5 or 5-4. Once in gear, I would be driving along...
I have an 08 R3T with TORS and underseat K&N. I have downloaded theTORS tune with secondaries at 100%. I would like to go to the next step with pod filters.
My question is, I read somewhere there are pod filters for trhe R3T that do not require removing or modifing the bear claw. Anyone...
The December issue of Baggers Magazine contains a feature length test of the R3T, garnered over a 3,300 mile trip.
The review is very objective and positive. the only real drawbacks identified were the heavy throttle and lack of cruise control and the lack of ABS, while noting the very...

New guy here...at least to R3's. I came out of Valkdome and rode one for several years, both single and doubled up all across the country. The nice thing about the Valk was dependability...in the three years I owned one...gas, oil, breakpads, and tires was it! (Well except for low milage and...
Just got the backrest, luggage rack and all hardware.
Ordered through my dealer's website on Thursday, received a week later.
Lots 'o pieces... a bit like IKEA.
Traded a VFR (my 3rd) on a 2009 R3T in August and could not be happier. Great as expected on the 400 mile day but perfectly manageable as a commuter into Boston as well.
I have not seen another on the road yet...
Guys:
I'm in discussions with a company about making some liners for our R3T hard bags. While they haven't asked, I'm wondering how many here might be interested in a set of such liners.
Any interest?
Happy owner of a new 2011 black / white R3 Touring. This is my 6th Triumph since 2000. Had 3 2000 / 2002 Thunderbirds, 1 2007 America, 1 2010 Thunderbird and my current R3T. And had 5 2000 / 2007 Harleys scattered thru there. Will never have another Harley or the " Harley lifestyle crap "...
I am thinking when I get my R3T I would like to remove the windshield and replace it with a Corbin Fleetline fairing. Has anyone done this and what do you think of the fairing? I would like to pull a cargo tailor with my R3T. So any information you have on that would be great like type and model...
