R3's the answer - wot was the question?

[mr hunt]

Returning to 2 wheels after life got in the way for a while. Wanted a Ducati Monster, thought I should check out the Speed Triple for comparison, saw the T'Bird Storm on the showroom floor and a little bit of wee came out, went home on the R3R - 'nuf said.

Only complaint so far is that the rocket is so fast the indicator lenses clearly couldn't keep up and remain stuck in 1970's Japan! Any tips for replacements - similar to the T'Bird would be tip top I reckon?

Welcome from Germany (by way of Mississippi)!

There's a ton of aftermarkets for them and you'll spend plenty of hours online shopping! Just don't let it interfere with your saddle time

Welcome mate. If you just want to change lenses I'd recommend the smoked ones from NewR3.com - Clear Signal Lens Kit with Bulbs for the Triumph Rocket III, Classic, Roadster. The clear look pretty good too on an all black bike, especially if you can get the bulbs that don't look orange when not lit.

Thanks all for the welcome - time is short so I'll post this as a general reply.

I do indeed live in paradise with very few rainy days and plenty of quality tarmac though I imagine your part of the world is not too shabby Peter K!

Ta for the lense info, I'm spoilt for choice it seems.

Good to see a global community on this site all sharing the same mistress
