Looking for advise

[J.Doc Holliday]

I currently have a 2015 R3 Roadster, bought it back in 2016. I absolutely love my bike and it has survived a full T-bone collision with a car with me so I don't see getting rid of her. That being said i would like to fix her up give her a new look and maybe some nice bells and whistles. I really don't have a final product in mind or even which way to lean into, I was just looking for ideas, tips, where to locate parts, ect.. Any help is appreciated.

We need photos to see what you are starting with.
A 2nd hand set of forks with a super grade internals upgrade would be a great staring place. @warp9.9 has a couple of versions way in excess of the standard upgrade such as a Progessive or Wilburs fork springs and fork oil viscosity increase.

Is the bike a buyback from the ins company(was it totaled) not many bikes survive a full t-bone collision.

Wow glad you and the bike made it thru in repairable shape. Since its a newer bike I'm sure you'll find parts. Not sure if it eas totally stock. If so air intake, exhaust and a good tuner. The suspension a good suspension will set you back something like 1600 to 2000 bucks for rear and cartridges for the front. But it is worth it especially if you ride the twisties.

Ishrub: I will have sum photos uploaded in a few.
Kenne: budget is flexible to a point.
Scot in Exile: no she was just shy of being totaled out.
Warp9.9: Thank you, and i do have a Ramair system on her as for tuning i am unfamiliar with how to do that. as well as where is a good site to get the suspension from?

Warp9.9: [yadda yadda yadda] where is a good site to get the suspension from?

Simply quoting so I get to hear a recommendation as well. I live where there are no straight roads for ~60 miles in every direction.

You may have already done this. Check the frame out well that it's straight and no weak spots.
Did that years ago and put some $$ in it, to no avail. Found out the frame was out of alignment. (Honda 750K)

@barbagris has Maxton fork cartridges from the UK.
R3 solution uses the GP20. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29687859/MAXTON TRIUMPH ROCKET 3.pdf
Read the complete thread below for all details and prices etc.

Wish me luck

Off to strip the front end down as the Maxton cartridges should arrive today. Local Suspension shop on standby. They'll do them on the fly while I wait - an hour. Long weekend ahead so time to install without rushing.

@warp9.9 has another customized Ducati setup and was looking at another commercial version from another manufacturer I believe, Traxxion Dynamics or the Italian made Mupo. . I'm wondering if he will find himself attracted to 'frogs' with that setup!

They might if you take it to them. I have adjustable rebound and compression but non standard. And not cartridge style. Two ducati monster 1198 springs in each fork pllus the mofified caps to suite the ducati and triumpg fork tubes. It does make a world of difference. I find myself on toads I would have normally avoided.

I tried an Eu500 offer and they countered with a whopping Eu22 off current price to Eu770.
Umm, no I do not think I shall bite just yet!

It was admittedly already 20% off their original price.

So 220 from 990 is 22.2% off
