Can someone tell me what the difference is between the early and late models? I noticed when purchasing the heated grips and chrome oil tanks they have a before and after VIN. I happened to purchase the late VIN part number of heated grips and they fit perfectly on my early R3 but, they don't...
First Ride: Intercooled SuperCharged R3 with Nev's Cams and Jardine Header
I spent hours trying to enrich the "L" tables in the stock SuperCharger tune. At wits end, this proved almost impossible without a dyno. Finally I realized I had "L" tables that might be better suited to Nev's cams and...
Just a short hello. . . . I just picke up my new R3 and love this thing. This is the first bike I have ever owned with more than two cylinders but its nice to be able to get back to my Triumph Roots . . .
Been riding for 35+ years with the majority of my bikes being HD and Triumph. Even a...
Once in awhile my battery on my 06' R3 will kinda pause while cranking, like it is getting weak. What is the best new battery to get for the R3?
Yausu gel cell good?
How many of us are there here in Utah?
I have only seen one other (Classic w/Tribal Paint) and that was up at Snowbird during the Rockin Blues Concert.
Hey guys, I don't quite know how to say this, but due to some unforeseen medical circumstances I may have to sell my Rocket. I am hoping something else may come about (concerns my wife), but I may need to get rid of both the Rocket and my Gold Wing.
More details in the classifieds.
If I do...
Here it comes, I used you all for my personal techno-geek amusement again :p
Nah, it's just another website upgrade :D
R3Owners.Net was upgraded to resolve several interface issues, and I took the opportunity to apply some lessons learned from my other sites:
There was a page-lag problem in...

Hey all,
Picked up a 2007 R3 Tour (Red and Black) Friday nite.
Dealer installed cat bypass and tors. Awsome sound!
Put 230 miles on so far, and plan to have it back to dealer for first service next week.
I currently own a 2005 Gold Wing and have owned in the past:
3 wings
2 valks (1...
I had bought these Yamaha mirrors for my Valk, but decided the R3 needed them more. They definitely fit the R3 better than stock (IMHO).
Lots more to do this weekend.
Hey guys!
One of the riders in our local law enforcement motorcycle club had a Rocket III and I LOVED the way it looked and rode... So I bought one about a month ago. I've already got over 1000 miles on it! I had a custom paint job done and i'm still in the process of "setting it up" the way I...
Hi all,
I put my deposit down last Saturday on a new 07 black R3, after a test ride on a demo machine. Should get my bike in the next two weeks sometime. Very much looking forward to it! Have owned 18 bikes in the last 19 years so something unique and very different is going to be a great...

My apologies for the abrupt take-down of R3Owners.Net today. Other activities had gotten in the way of making actual plans, but an opportunity presented itself earlier this morning.
The site doesn't look significantly different, but the upgrades done today represent hundreds of changes. Some...
Blackstone Tec of South Africa has successfully engineered their carbon fiber wheels for the R3. They are producing 20 sets (front and rear), of which 10 sets have already been sold to make the deal happen. If anyone here desires a set at our special group buy rate, contact Gary at BST directly...
Hi All,
I've read many comments about r3 problems... So this post is to gather info into one area for examination of the r3. (If there is already a post like this, forgive me, I didn't find it).
My '05 was purchased in October of '05.At the first 500 mile check and service it was dying at...
hi, i new here and am just looking for info before i purchase an r3. my main interest is in a power cruiser (i also have a rune and v-rod) but my background is with italian exotics.
my questions are:
1. what, if any, are the differences between the years ('05/'06/'07)?
2. are there certain...
I bought the A -power socket, it comes with just the outlet and blade terminals. Are there the female end on the R3 to just plug this in? or do I have to tie a set into the battery. Also do they make an adaptor to adap it to a regular (cigarette type) plug in?
A while back I realized that almost everywhere I'd park the Beast.....it would always draw a few people who would spend several minutes walking around, bending down and looking it over. A lot of times I'd park in front of an outdoor cafe and plant myself at a table a few feet away...
