  1. 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...

  2. 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...

    HID on R3T

    Has anybody fitted an HID kit to their R3T? Was the install straightforward? did the ballast fit in the headlight bucket? Thanks in advance guys, tried the search function but failed miserably :(

    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...

  7. 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?

  8. 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...

  9. 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?

  13. Darksiding the R3T?

    I have looked through the dark side section and searched the R3T section for info on darksiding the R3T. I have gleaned the the standard takes a 225/55 to 235/50 car tire in place of the 240 section bike rear tire. The R3T calls for a 180/70/16 so what does that equate to in a safe car tire for...

  14. R3T TuneEdit Question

    The standard R3 tunes have 4 ignition tables named I1, I2, I3, and I4 and I understand what each one is for--I1 is for neutral, I2 is for first gear, I3 is for second gear and I4 is for gears 3 - 5. Now the R3T tunes also have 4 ignition tables, but they're named I1, I2, I(TP), and I(MAP). Does...

  15. R3T Cat Delete

    I'm curious about this "Cat Delete" I've heard folks mention. Has anyone removed the cat from their R3T? If so, what did you use in its place? I'm sure you could have some pipes custom made to route the exhaust from the header to the mufflers, but are there any off-the-shelf products designed...

    My R3T came with factory heat.

    I found a MOST useful feature on my R3T the other day. I was on the interstate and decided to stretch my legs for a few minutes so I rested my heals on the front of edge of the floorboards. Man, it was like someone put a portable heater on the seat and faced it toward my face. The hot air...

    2008 Triumph Rocket III Touring | Hot Rod's Bike Works Magazine Article at Automotive.com was just browsing and found this article saying that the r3t holds 10gal of gas :eek:

    Speed Limiter on Tuneboy for the R3T

    Has anyone figured out how to take the speed limiter off of Tuneboy for the R3T? Or does anyone know if Wayne has plans on doing it?
