    R3T - Handlebar options

    I've been trying to find out if any of our Rocket captains have replaced the handlebars on the R3T. And if so, with what. I've already put the Rivco risers on and tilted the stock bars as far down as they'll go. I still find the bars just about 2 inches too far away from my 'natural'...

    I Want a Tach for my R3T

    Guys: I'm breaking in my new R3T and it's hard to tell how tight I'm revving the engine. I'm not coming near the redline, nor am I lugging it, but I'd sure like to have a tach to refer to. I've driven manual transmissions all my life and I drive much more by tach than I do by speedo. I've...

  4. New 2006 R3 at OC Motorsports in Santa Ana, CA

    Good Morning from a brand new member who just joined this morning. I will be upgrading from a Harley Sportster to a bigger bike in the spring and the Rocket III is at the top of my list. For those that might be familiar with my area (Southern Cal), there is a shop called Orange COunty...

    R3T - PC625 - Corbin Warning

    Well it appears that I've outsmarted myself this time. Awhile back I picked up an Odyssey PC625 battery. Its a tight fit, and a bit taller than stock but it fit just fine. Today I received my new Corbin Saddle. The Corbin comes with a bracket that attaches to four holes in the frame, just...

  8. New R3 owner and huge fan

    I bought my 2007 R3 standard about 3 months ago and can't get enough. I have put the Jardine Big Boss exhaust and had the 'engine upgrade kit' installed about a month ago (alleviated the first to second gear slip amoung other things). Since the upgrade the bike runs unbelievable. I have been...

    New R3 Owner

    I test rode a demo R3 in 2005 and it made a lasting impression. Four years later and I'm picking up my new bike at the end of the week. It's a new left over black 2007 R3 Std. I think I stole it for 10,098.00 out the door. This is a great forum with a lot of information. I'm buying the bike out...

    Link to R3T service manual?

    Does anyone know if there is a link to an online R3T service manual anywhere? Have found a few for the R3's but as almost everything is different on the Touring I'm assuming there's a separate manual for it? :confused:

    R3T Owners....need some help/advice.

    For all you R3T owners out there I would like to ask a few questions. As you know when I get done with my work overseas I am probably (90% sure) going to be going in for a new R3T. I would like to ask is there any accessory that you bought that you would probably not recommend getting that...

    When you can't ride the R3T

    Hey guys, I traded for this car yesterday and when you can't ride the bike it is an excellent substitute, it takes off like a rocket and with a few inexpensive mods I can get it to the mid 12's in the 1/4 mile. It drives great and has a kick ass factory stereo with 13 speakers and over 500...

    Colors - R3T - Need Some Observations

    Guys: I'm considering changing the bike I am buying from all black to the black/red combination. Can anyone tell me - is the red a bright red or a more muted red - closer to burgundy? In other words: Is it strawberry soda or cabernet sauvignon or something in between? The photo on the...

    ABS on a R3 anyone?

    Has anyone heard of modifying a R3 or Triumph with ABS? I started riding again three years ago and all went well until last summer when I locked-up the breaks on my Scrambler while avoiding a collision--growing the new skin was not fun. I read about the ABS systems for the Japanese bikes and...

    If it's Triumph, it's the R3T

    After giving the idea a lot of thought (not much else to do over here but to work and think, sleep and eat) I have decided...for now (which means I could change my mind but I doubt it) that if the new Gold Wing isn't "all that" that if/when I get the new Triumph it will be the the R3T. I...

    Is There A Listing, On This Or Other Forums, of All R3T Service Bulletins?

    I've pretty well decided to get an R3T, if I can find the one I want for a price I'm willing to pay. However, I'm probably going to be looking for an 08 leftover, so I'd like to see a listing of all SB's applicable to that bike, so that I can question the dealer as to whether they have all been...

    R3 Reverberations

    I was reading a thread on the .com site regarding reverberations a guy was experiencing and it got ne thinking that may be the harshness that I experience isn't the norm for these bikes; below is a question that I asked in that thread. "Quote. My bike (08 standard 2000 miles)has always done...

  19. Darkside suggestions for the R3T

    I have been thinking of going Darkside when my metzler wears out and was wondering if anyone knows the tire size needed. I figure the designation will be different for a car than it is for a bike. Anyone running a CT on an R3T? Some info would be helpful.

  20. R3T heated grips

    I was wondering if anyone else out there has had this issue or just me. I bought my 2008 R3T brand new in March 2008. I had the heated grips installed shortly after but after less than 5000 miles the throttle cable broke off the grip and I had to limp home at idle speed. Triumph replaced them...
