  1. R3 Paddock Stand & Lift Aid

    Another poster on this site and I have been collaborating on various designs for a Paddock Stand for the R3, R3 Classic ans R3 touring, one reason I did the poll on lug spacing. Things are coming to fruition. The cam plates and gusset assemblies have been laser cut as well as the mounts. I...

  3. Modified R3T with Stock Tire

    I have modified the R3T to get back most or all of the power I had on the Classic. Now I keep getting warned by others to be careful of the rear tire as the 180 isn't rated for the speeds that the 240 is. My question is, if you are just a reasonable rider who likes more get-up-and-go off the...
  4. R3T Tire Pressure

    I have the standard Metz tires and don't seem to be able to find out what tire pressure I should be running. I probably should know, but I can't seem to be able to find the information right now. Thanks!! :eek:

  10. 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'...
  11. 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...
  12. 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...

  14. 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...

  16. 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...
  17. 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...
  18. 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:
  19. 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...
  20. 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...
