Greetings, R3 Forum Fans,
About 50 years ago I purchased my first bike (a little Yamaha Omaha Trailmaster). Not long after that I began finding various Brit bikes for sale (most needed work). Fast forward to 2020 and here I am by God's grace still riding... and still working on some of England's...
In July my faithful Yamaha spontaneously combusted. It was a very sad day. But as they say every dark cloud has a silver lining. A bit of searching on the net and I found a new bike (a very special bike) at a dealership just a few miles away. So off we went, Patty and I to go view this...
Hey everyone,
Long post, but I wanted to make a separate post about about my latest tragedy so everyone can get the details and warnings. This past Sunday my bike went up in flames at a gas station. I was 3 miles from my house meeting some friends for a ride to put me over my first service...
I have enjoyed being a member of this R3owners. The postings are both entertaining and informative. We as a group, are clearly not all of the same thoughts and beliefs. The forum is ever changing. Lately I have been more involved in my families activities than the Forum. I have gotten on...
The final transmission of my Rocket 3 GT 2020 makes a lot of noise, as if there is a bearing defect. It becomes about 53 ° C at 20 ° C at oil level. Is that also the case with the other engines? Has anyone been able to find out the cause or could it be a tire problem?
Grew up on my dad‘s 1976 Boneville 750 and have finally purchased my own 2014 Rocket III Roadster. Got lots of questions, first of which is where the best place to purchase bags is...

Greetings everyone. I am trying to replace my rear shocks as the ones I bought the bike with are worn out, any bump I feel it all along my spine 😂
So, I turned to progressive suspension (I carry a 412 now) to buy new shocks, BUT! There are only se 430 model on 12” (430-4234b/c) and the page says...
Hey all,
Just wanted to share some cool pics of this weekends run out to the Bonneville Salt Flats. I have a '16 Roadster in the Matte Black/White stripe finish (Penelope). Thought I would post some of the pics here as I KNOW you guys appreciate all things Rocket3. I think the pics turned out...
I see amazing bikes in the gallery, but I don't know or can't find where some of y'all get your parts from. Like the triumph branded floor boards or hard saddle bags, chrome plate for radiator. Is there like a secret Triumph shop that I'm unaware of?
Here's a pretty funny and accurate review of our bike from the boys at Top Gear.

Bet bit:
What’s it like to ride?
Intimidating at first, mainly because there’s so much of it. The fuel tank is the size of a Barbadian twerking champion...
There is an adjustment bolt on the right side back of motor. I know it has something to do with motor/ rear wheel alignment. Does anyone know how it works. No one knows!?
Hi guys, I've been reading through a lot of posts and the majority of which have been US guys. What I'm after is an idea of cost in the uk. I have owned my bike for 5 weeks having come from a kawasaki vulcan 900 and took the baffles out which produced a nice sound and want to achieve the same...
I have just put an order in the a side license plate holder for my Rocket 3R. The big bulky standard thing just does not do it for me. I expect delivery in the next couple of days. Let you guys know whether is is easy to install.

Awhile back I posted some pics of my Aussie friend's new R3 that were taken in the shop where it was to be customized. I received photos of the beautifully completed modifications and Einar asked me to post them with his comments. I can't recall if I had mentioned it previously but several...
Hello!!
Last week I have been for a test ride on the new Rocket 3. What a machine! Until now I was driving a KTM Super Duke R. Lovely bike but I was looking for something more comfy and laid back. However, I still wanted the buzz of the torque. I found a Phantom Black in stock and picked it up...
Howdy ya'll!!
This is the start of the beautiful adventure of turning an unsuspecting, early model Rocket 3 into a proper LSR (Land Speed Racing) machine. In true Spaz fashion, I've done this completely bas-ackwards and thrown together a rather ugly starter kit for Bonneville Speed Week 2020 to...
