I have just had a set of shockies fitted and the forks are being done as we speak. I took the bike in to Walter, the YSS guy, last week so he could suss it out as he hasn't done a R3T before. I should have the forks back early next week and once fitted I will be going on a ride next weekend. Will post up a report after the ride. Cost for shocks $900, fork springs + PD valve + fitting($100) $464.
 
actually trying to get it lower so I can get flat footed, clearance is all good for my riding
 
Looking forward to your report. Please include part numbers if possible. I've got my motor running well, but the suspension needs some attention. I've been running a set of used Progressive 440s that I picked up when one of my stock shocks developed a leak but I think there are better options out there. And the front end really needs help. I probably got spoiled after too many years on Ohlins equipped BMWs.
 
well, finally got the shocks set up correctly, I eventually had to adjust the preload, something they told me should not be needed but I reckon they made an error when setting it up, anyway, the result is good, they're not ikons but for the price give me a smoother ride and better handling particularly in the bends. The forks are also smoother, especially at low speed, all in all a worthy excercise
 
Does anyone know if the rear shocks on the R3 tourer are the same as the optional shocks Triumph was selling to improve the ride of the R3 standard?
