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...
greetings all--
i soon will be joining in the Rocket III obsession (coming from a Honda Valkyrie) -- the current financing rates promotion from Triumph, and the sales tax deduction were all pluses
my question:
what are your local dealers discounting off MSRP for new 08s? my dealer is only...
I earned my Class B LSR license this weekend with a pass of 174.94747 MPH on my SC R3. I believe this is the fastest speed ever achieved by a Rocket 3, albeit modified.
My thanks to the following friends and companies, that helped me achieve this goal:

Evening all, is there another R3T owner with a chair fitted that I could discuss experiences with oil steering dampners? I have attached a double chair a month or so ago and am puzzled with problems encountered with the dampner and leading link forks. Regards Carey

Hello, wife and I bought ourselfs a R3T as a Christmas present and have been enjoying it. It's a great ride, needs a little more exhaust noise and wife says a better seat - can't quite last a whole tank before needing a break.
Also ride a 73 Commando with Dunstall exhaust, great ride but not...
I have a darkside tire on order. In order for me to get it installed, I have to take the wheel to them to have it done.
My problem is lifting the R3T to get the wheel off. I have use of a lift. My concern is with securing the bike while it's up on the lift. I have lifted it before to do...

I thought I read somewhere it was an H4 35w bulb.
Anyone know which one it is ?:confused:
