New R3 owner from Sactown

[R3Rx118]

New R3 owner here. It's a 2005 classic (with bags). Just picked it up last week and have been going through and replacing all the fluids. I have replacement headlight LEDs on order and I'm still deciding which tires I'll be going with (both front and back, front is pretty bald, back not so much). Lastly and most important; which sticker to put on the windshield.

This website has been invaluable for information and the community seems overall a friendly and positive bunch. Hope to see some of you on the roads out there.

Cheers!

Welcome from Delaware. Like your user name too.

Welcome! I live down in the Bay Area, but travel to Sacramento for work. Maybe we could meet up sometime. Good choice in a motorcycle!

Nice, I see a lot of commuters who do the opposite (Live in Sacramento, commute to the bay area).

Seen quite a few people pitch in on that bridgestone. How does that Dunlop Elite3 run? I've got an avon up front that I need to replace and the shop owner has been less than impressed when I was pricing out tires.

Welcome from sunny Florida, enjoy the bike I have two Rockets one being a 2005 I bought new in 2005, now you say it is a classic post a picture if you can as the classic did not come out till 2006
easy to tell the difference
Classic came with floorboards
had different shaped silencers
has more pull back handlebars
a modified seat

As the great Peter Fonda would say lose the windshield

I guess it's not a classic then? It has floorboards so I guess they were added later.
I pulled the windshield to polish it up as it was looking a little scummy.

Welcome from.Minden Nevada. You are just a few hours from me.

I'd get to Nevada more often myself if it weren't for Lake Tahoe getting in the way.
