I've pretty well decided to get an R3T, if I can find the one I want for a price I'm willing to pay. However, I'm probably going to be looking for an 08 leftover, so I'd like to see a listing of all SB's applicable to that bike, so that I can question the dealer as to whether they have all been...

I have been thinking of going Darkside when my metzler wears out and was wondering if anyone knows the tire size needed. I figure the designation will be different for a car than it is for a bike. Anyone running a CT on an R3T? Some info would be helpful.

I was wondering if anyone else out there has had this issue or just me. I bought my 2008 R3T brand new in March 2008. I had the heated grips installed shortly after but after less than 5000 miles the throttle cable broke off the grip and I had to limp home at idle speed. Triumph replaced them...

Has anybody fitted an HID kit to their R3T? Was the install straightforward? did the ballast fit in the headlight bucket? Thanks in advance guys, tried the search function but failed miserably :(

I just got back from a ride on the new seats. A few things I've noticed so far..... 1. If you have the quick release sissy bar, it will be **** hard to put in on or take it off with this new seat. It's much wider than the stock / long haul. 2. The wings on the sides are a bit uncomfortable...

Sorry, I'm new. I've looked around the site for info on a tach for the R3T, but haven't found one, other than some micro-something. Does Triumph offer one? Can one be added like you can from HD for a Road King?

Well after sneaking looks at at the R3owners site for the last few weeks, I broke down and bought a new '08 R3T. Still have an '04 1150RT, along with a '70 Norton S sitting in a box waiting shipment to New Zealand. Went through a knee replacement last year, and can't get my foot on the RT's peg...

Gentlemen, I am at the crux of a situation... I am thinking about putting a Turbo on the R3T. Does anyone out there think that it might not be mechanically sound with a stock set up; or have you ran into any issues? I have a tune from Wayne that takes it up at least 5 notches (this is above...

I ordered a set of Raask slip ons for the R3T. They've been shipped from Sweden. Should be here within a couple of weeks I'm told. SO looking forward to getting them on. I think I'll do the 12 minute tune first then make an appointment to have the TORs tune installed at the dealer. Of...

I have looked through the dark side section and searched the R3T section for info on darksiding the R3T. I have gleaned the the standard takes a 225/55 to 235/50 car tire in place of the 240 section bike rear tire. The R3T calls for a 180/70/16 so what does that equate to in a safe car tire for...

The standard R3 tunes have 4 ignition tables named I1, I2, I3, and I4 and I understand what each one is for--I1 is for neutral, I2 is for first gear, I3 is for second gear and I4 is for gears 3 - 5. Now the R3T tunes also have 4 ignition tables, but they're named I1, I2, I(TP), and I(MAP). Does...

I'm curious about this "Cat Delete" I've heard folks mention. Has anyone removed the cat from their R3T? If so, what did you use in its place? I'm sure you could have some pipes custom made to route the exhaust from the header to the mufflers, but are there any off-the-shelf products designed...

I found a MOST useful feature on my R3T the other day. I was on the interstate and decided to stretch my legs for a few minutes so I rested my heals on the front of edge of the floorboards. Man, it was like someone put a portable heater on the seat and faced it toward my face. The hot air...

2008 Triumph Rocket III Touring | Hot Rod's Bike Works Magazine Article at Automotive.com was just browsing and found this article saying that the r3t holds 10gal of gas :eek:

Has anyone figured out how to take the speed limiter off of Tuneboy for the R3T? Or does anyone know if Wayne has plans on doing it?

In case anyone is looking to add some new bling to your R3T, Triumph has developed two new pieces for the T-Bird that fit perfectly on the R3T. The Instrument Visor-Chrome (p/n A9730610) and Front Brake Caliper Caps-Chrome (p/n A9730642). Just installed both tonight on my R3T. They fit...

I finally got to do a demo ride on the R3T. I had owned an '05 RIII for about a year and found it really didn't fit my riding needs/desires. But after a short ride on the R3T I think I may have found the next bike for me to hunt. The ones that came out of the demo truck had the windshields...

Since I received no bites, I ordered the one thing that was missing yesterday. I will give you guys a report on my Rumble Roads Ultras when I have them installed.

I clearly love my R3T. It carries me to where I want to go. It takes me cheaply to scenic spots like Canon Beach, where there's a record low tide. It takes me to the Portland Japanese Gardens, where the fealing of beauty and peace give my soul rest and recharge my spirit. Along the way nature is...

Took it to the dealer because suddenly it would not downshift into first unless you were almost at a complete stop. They found evidence of where the 1st gear dog was trying to engage but was hiting the gear. They also found a spring sitting in the bottom of the pan. They are not sure where it...
