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...
Hey Everyone!
I'm Phenix3939 from Orlando, FL.
Currently, I have a pretty custom R Nine T but I'm super stoked to pick up a new Rocket 3 in the next few weeks.
I did a lot of test rides on a wide variety of machines, BMW S1000RR, Aprilia RSV4 1100, KTM Super Duke, and Ducati Streetfighter...
Hi,
I bought my 2020 Rocket III R two weeks ago and instantly found two light showing up on the TFT screen. The wrench light went away when I changed the date and made it current. But the tire pressure light stays on the screen and keeps on saying “check manual, tire pressure sensor”. I have...
I was riding to work the other morning and saw a bike up ahead. I rarely encounter any other bikes on my 25 mile trip. When i caught up, it was another r3! What are the odds down here where the nearest triumph dealer is 350 miles away.
Black rocket. Mine was blue touring.
Contact me on here. Id...
I build oddball sports cars (you can see what I'm up to at KineticVehicles.com). I have one now that gets 100 mpg, it's powered by a three cylinder turbocharged Kubota diesel and the R3 mill would fit right in there. So I bought a 2004 model that had been rear ended, I've ridden it around for a...
I have to vent.
Last week some of you guys know that I bought a second Rocket Touring. I'm lucky to have found my new ride. Price was great, and the bike has very low miles. My complaint is with my State. Michigan's Secretary of State ran for, and won, under the idea that during the day...
The right side of the engine gets pretty warm during summer riding season, so to cure 90% of the heat I did the following.
Removed the stainless steel heat shields from all 3 headers and lined the insides with exhaust header wrap using silicone gasket sealer as an adhesive.
I cut the heat shield...
It was time to get a cruiser, went with a 2005 Rocket 3. Tearing it all apart to clean and polish. Also put in a HD Barnett clutch. I'd be riding at this moment but I'm waiting on the clutch cover gasket. All kinds of accessories ordered and on their way.
maybe its just that i have a revived interest in r3s. but while searching youtube i found the majority of posts are about the new r3. I mean an inordinate amount of 2020 vs all older years. I watched the leno garage episode which was interesting. then, when i was at the triumph dealership in...
Hi everybody. I just purchased my first Triumph Rocket 3 today and cannot wait to start riding. It is a 2015 Rocket 3 Touring with the Phantom Black Paint Job and has around 17000 miles on it. I was wondering if anybody knew of a good trunk to mount that is good quality but wont break the bank...
@Gerald Saw your post on Kevin's Furloughed trip, and thought I would start a thread here, asking for your experience with the circuit breakers - what led you to that choice - any pros and cons - and where to get them ?
