    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...

  7. 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.

  8. 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...

  9. Best Northern IL R3 shop?

    Hey everybody, Wanted to get some opinions on which shop they like best for work on the R3, everything from dyno tuning to turbos. If you know of a shop or heard of a shop in the Northern IL or Southern WI area that does great R3 work and they really know their ****, please let me know...

  10. 2010 R3's all gained 100 lbs??

    I'm real fond of the new 2010 R3 Roadster, and was perusing Triumph's official site, checking out the specs. Well, I happened to notice that Triumph lists the wet weight of the 2009 R3 as 704 lbs. and the 2009 R3 Touring's wet weight is 788 lbs. THEN Truimph's official site lists the wet...

    R3T - new Russell Day Long seats

    I just got back from a ride on the new seats. A few things I've noticed so far..... 1. If you have the quick release sissy bar, it will be **** hard to put in on or take it off with this new seat. It's much wider than the stock / long haul. 2. The wings on the sides are a bit uncomfortable...

    Lowering the rear of the R3

    Has anybody changed out the rear shocks for shorter ones? If they have what tire are they running and what if any other issues you might have had ie.. tire rubbing, reduced ground cleareance for cornering. The Rocket has this big gap above the rear tire and was maybe looking to close it down...

    Top 3 CTs for the R3

    Well, it looks like I'll be joining your ranks shortly as a proud R3 owner. I'm coming off of two VTX 1800s, both of which I ran on the Darkside with B'stone Potenzas. I'm wondering what are the three most popular or common CTs you folks run on the Rocket? Also, what are the most...

  15. R3T Tach

    Sorry, I'm new. I've looked around the site for info on a tach for the R3T, but haven't found one, other than some micro-something. Does Triumph offer one? Can one be added like you can from HD for a Road King?

  16. I did it!! 2008 R3T New!

    Well after sneaking looks at at the R3owners site for the last few weeks, I broke down and bought a new '08 R3T. Still have an '04 1150RT, along with a '70 Norton S sitting in a box waiting shipment to New Zealand. Went through a knee replacement last year, and can't get my foot on the RT's peg...

  17. New R3 Owner

    Hi Folks, I'm a retired Army officer, living in the small town of Jasper, Indiana and I've been the happy owner of a red '06 Rocket III std. for about a week. I rode a lot as a teenager back in the 1960s, and then intermittantly in the '70s and early '80s. But up until a year ago, I hadn't...

    R3t turbo setup

    Gentlemen, I am at the crux of a situation... I am thinking about putting a Turbo on the R3T. Does anyone out there think that it might not be mechanically sound with a stock set up; or have you ran into any issues? I have a tune from Wayne that takes it up at least 5 notches (this is above...

    Raask exhaust for my R3T

    I ordered a set of Raask slip ons for the R3T. They've been shipped from Sweden. Should be here within a couple of weeks I'm told. SO looking forward to getting them on. I think I'll do the 12 minute tune first then make an appointment to have the TORs tune installed at the dealer. Of...

    Bags for R3

    I have Matzuma(sp) bags and really like the way they look. But.... they are junk. Does anybody sell quality bags that will fit the RIII and have turn signals?
