It's no secret to anyone on R3Owners.Net that this site is continuing to grow both in community size and diversity. While we are very much low-maintenance, it becomes necessary to match that growth with additional leaders who bring both common and new ideas.

Avon makes a 200 60 16 V rated Cobra rear tire. They recommend a 5.5" rim, the R3T has a 5" rim. The width is 7.7" vs 7.2" and the diameter is 25.6" vs 24.8" for the stock tire.
Having just installed a set of Jardines, I really could use a bit more rear tire.
So, what are the chances the...
Hello everyone.
Just picked up my 2006 R3 tribal yesterday. Got a chance to take it for a ride and so far so good!
Pre-ordered a 2010 t-bird last year. Rode it end of last season and this spring, but I felt it wasn't enough. It was either big bore and spend the coin for all the add ons...
I left SoCal for regions north. Rode up the coast to Monterey then through the Central Valley to the Feather River Canyon up to Bucks Lake (until the snow stopped me). Did a few side trips in the Plumas National Forest and then back down the canyon (75 miles of the most delectible two wheel...
I got a set of Triumph leather panniers with my 08 rocket and they are falling to bits.
The metal studs that hold the buckles and straps on have nearly all broken and last week I took them to a luggage repairer who replaced all the studs(quite cheaply).
He also commented on how weak the studs...
Sorry, this is one of my first postings,
I had not heard if anyone tried this so I thought what the hell. I pulled both stock pipes off the R3T and drilled out the cat. I stepped-up the hole to a 1" bit, it was a bit of a chore on the left side. I had to cut the elbow off and with the help of...
i was at my dealer the other day picking up my r3 and was talking to the sale guy about the all blacked out r3 classic sitting there and he told me thay just got it in it was found in new zealand in a wearhouse still in the crate and yes it's already sold !!
Is it worth buying in the US? I'm in Toronto. It seems you usually get a better price in the US. Anything to be careful of? I saw 2 dealers not too far from Buffalo, one in Akron and another in Canandaigua.
Just had my appointment with *****n Stichn here in Denver. I was really expecting to have them tear the cover off, and throw the foam out. We started with our stock R3T seat. Daniel and Brian are artists. Brian sat down and had my wife and I sit on the bike. Within 10 minutes, and after lots of...
Couldn't make a good bracket so held it in place behind the LHS cover and close to rubber wrapped frame member and filled doubled plastic bag with Fireproof Builder's foam behind and under it to build a nest to hold it, nice and sweet. Eventually tied it down with cable ties. Seems to work.

I'm considering swapping my D&Ds for a full Jardine system. I haven't found anyone who has installed the Jardines on an R3T. I currently have triple K&Ns with the 138HP tune for the R3T.
I'm pretty sure I will need to more fuel to support the added flow of the Jardines. Does anyone have any...
I want to install headlight visors on my '08 standard (duals). Thought I'd check with you guys and get some opinions about Who, What and Where. Lets see them too if you have a photo handy, I'd like to know where you got them and what you think of the quality. Don't want to spend a fortune, but...

(UPDATE PLEASE READ) Purchased an 05 R3, Have a Few ?
I have been a member for awhile now, and have been mostly reading, but now I am going to pick up my Brand Used R3 on Friday. The bike is mint with every add-on you could think of. I do have a few questions for the Long Timers Here.
The...
Hi everyone. Does anyone know if there is an inner bag for the hard panniers on the R3 Touring? I found one for the Classic leather panniers but have not seen one for the hard bags. When we go on trips it would be great have lift-out bags for the panniers.
Greetings All,
I'm a newbie. Had my 2007 R3 since Feb 09. My mate also has a 2007. He's had problems with the gears - so took it in to a Triumph dealer. His main problem was that he couldn't prove that all his serving had been done by a dealership. He's now done around 50,000 miles...
I took a Tour for a test drive Saturday. (My first ride on an R3 of any kind)
I was very impressed. I expected the power but not the smooth solid feel of the motor and trans. I expected roomy seating but not the great suspension and handling.
Overall I was impressed. My only complaint is at...
Okay guys, I've posted about this before buy now I want to try and get some firm answers.
I want a tach for my R3T. I want to hear from Captains who have successfully mounted a tach on their R3T. I'd like the following info:
Type of tach;
Step by step instructions and
Photos.
