I am debating about what seat to invest in, right now i have the Triumph Rocket III Touring Gel Seat - Dual, A9701141 but it's not comfortable, even worse for the passenger, i have been thinking about 3 choices but not sure which one to decide on, the first choice and the least expensive would...
Hi all,
I have recently purchased a set of the Rivco Risers and in the instruction sheet it talks about a thick washer that is on the top side of the Triple Tree. On my R3T, the thick washer was on the bottom of the Triple Tree. It appeared that the Rivco Riser was missing either a part or...
Riding the Foothills Parkway in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park I was following my buddy who was on his K1200S. He was going too fast so I backed off, apparently not enough. I approached a decreasing radius left hander, braked as long as I could till I reached the point of no return, I...
Rider Magazine reviewed the new Kawasaki 1700 Voyager and, I have to say, that it is what I want Triumph to do with the Rocket. I'm a touring rider and the Rocket/R3T engine is a great platform to build up to something like the big Kaw. Fixed fairing, cruise control, sound system, trunk, etc...
I'm planning on getting my exhaust upgraded. I've heard and seen video clips of the D&D, Raask, and TORs. I can't really tell them apart. The TORs do sound fairly quiet. Not too much different from the stock pipes.
I like the look of the Raask set that Wildrooster got. They sound great...
There are no clip-ons that will fit the fat R3 fork tubes. Therefore I designed these risers that place the handlebars forward of the upper triple tree.
These will put you "in the paint" (steering damper and riding skill required). :cool:
Hello ya'll. Just picked it up on 5-8-09. New 08. Black & Beautifull.it's my 4th hinkley triumph. So far they have all taken everything I can throw at them. They like to be ridden hard. In one of your posts I read that the cat was in the muff. I don't think so. I saw the triumph slips. Does...

I was thinking of making a european trip with my rocket, during a 2 week period, next year. :) I have colleagues in Germany that ride and I lived in France for a couple of years so I will probably make a tour from Frankfurt to Munich, Liechtenstein, then northern France (Strasbourg, etc). I...
Hello. Just bought my 1st Triumph- R3T 2008. My soft ties won't fit around the triple tree without scuffing the fork chrome covers. Suggestions please. Love the bike, so much like the Valks that I owned previously with much more power. :)
Black and red for sale on their website, I would buy it myself if I had an extra $1000 laying around. Just thought I'd pass it on to everyone here since I can't afford it.

I installed my new Clearview 19" screen.
It's 3" taller than and 2" wider than the stock. I opted for the recurve on the screen.
Installation was quick. Just need some adjustments for the lower brackets.
Let me just say, this screen should be stock on the Rocket. I can hear my...
I now have a short list of necessary improvement to make my R3T a true touring beast. I need an air horn & a custom seat. I've just added the BrakeAway Throttle lock & a taller Triumph windscreen. $209 for the windscreen, $200 for the throttle lock. Both are well worth the money. I can look...
I have mounted Mutazu hard bags and want to know where to find the connections on the bike to hook up a harness. Is there a terminal strip on the bike or do I have to splice into the wires to the rear lights?
nothing like 4 lights instead of 2
anyone attempt to mount the aux light kit for the Touring on the Standard R3?
i haven't measured anything yet to see if it would even fit... and not a fan of the spot lights option offered by triumph for the standard -- look too much like aftermarket add-ons...
