Since one of my hobbies is photography I'm always looking for better lighting, a different angle, more reflections off the pitch black paint or chrome. Here's another capture, while the bike is still clean & shiny. 1250 miles on the Beast now.
Installed Flip's SS radiator insert yesterday. Before installation I removed the chrome screen, sand blasted it, and painted it black. I'm very happy with the result. Here's a couple of shots after the install.

I took a 200 mile ride yesterday with the distinct purpose of pushing the limits of the gas tank. Previously I'd ridden 181 miles to where the digital gauge told me I was out of gas. When I filled up, however, I only needed 4.5 gallons to fill up the tank. That tells me the gauge isn't...
I've had my R3T for 12 days now. I've only ridden 5 of those days. 1000 miles this morning !!!

Anybody got a line on something less expensive?
The service manual from triumph is like $90 ! Little expensive for my taste.
But I like todo my own service and having the schematics and such is great.
Thoughts??

Hi Just moved from Minnesota to Austin TX. Is there any R3 owners here in Austin? Went to the Triumph/BMW dealer didnt seem to friendly! Looking for other riders to get to know:)
I managed to get myself an 08 R3T for a fair deal price. This bike simply rocks. I put 100 miles on her today and will get another 300 tomorrow.
The ride is rock soild, smooth, and impressed me greatly.
I will need to get something to pull pack the bars. The seat is not too supportive...

Paul (Joker) is out celebrating, so I thought I should post his results with Predators on his SC R3. Excellent results, congrats Paul and Sam!
I suspect there's one more buyer for a billet clutch basket now! ;)
I need to find out exactly the factory alarm hookup is located and how do I get to it. I am thinking of getting a talon because it's half the price. Thanks
