    R3T batwing fairing from Reckless Motorcycles.

    That'd be really difficult I think. The front of the fairing isn't load bearing. It's held to the inner fairing by the 3 bolts across the top (where the windshield is held in place sandwiched between the inner and outer fairing), and 4 bolts on the back side. All the structural mounts are on the...

    R3T batwing fairing from Reckless Motorcycles.

    Yeah, but I'd have to see it in person to form a legit opinion, photos can deceive. The fairing doesn't seem to flow with the pull back of the bars. The side profile sorta has a road glide (frame mounted fairing) look to it at the top. Like I said before tho, if it does the job then it does...

    R3T batwing fairing from Reckless Motorcycles.

    That reckless looks like an Electra Glide batwing with bracketry to fit the r3t. Doesn't flow particularly well with the lines of rocket. But if it works that's what matters!

    Has anyone rode one of these?

    I never said CG, or engine cg was factor número uno. Just said it plays a role along with front end geometry, suspension, tires, frame rigidity, actual bike weight and so on.

    Has anyone rode one of these?

    The heaviest part of a motorcycle is the engine. Obviously the lower the cg of the engine the lower the overall cg of the bike. The lower the cg the easier it is to "flick" a bike, or transition from a left curves to a right curve for example. There are other significant factors that play a big...

    This couldn't be more inaccurate.

    Has anyone rode one of these?

    Motorcycle ET is affected by the rider a lot. Not saying that the Indian is faster, just saying that the rider may have been clueless. Best way to compare is to have the same rider ride each back to back.

    Has anyone rode one of these?

    I guess I'm crazy cuz I like the looks of the R3, some HD's and the new Indians as well as a bunch of other bikes. I appreciate bikes for what they're intended to do and think if they all looked the same it'd be pretty boring out there. I wouldn't wanna go ride dirt and muddy roads on my Electra...

    A new addition to the R3T family

    Has anyone rode one of these?

    I hear ya, That's why I decided to get an Electra Glide. If Triumph had something along these lines of bikes I could've had my cake and eat it too, but they don't so I had to go with what was most important and practical for us. I'll try to ride both and report back on the differences between them.

    Has anyone rode one of these?

    I don't think it'll be much different than the Chieftan riding wise other than a bit more wind protection with the lower fairing. The Indian demo truck is coming to my area next weekend, I'm gonna try to get down there saturday morning. If I don't report back remind me.

    Went to a Harley hangout in Maine

    I test rode a few Electra Glides over the weekend. The new frame design on the 09 and up bikes makes a noticeable difference. Much less leg heat on the 09 and up as well. My next bike has come down to an 09 or newer Electra Glide Ultra Classic or a Rocket 3 Touring. The GF really liked the...

    I was gonna buy on of these http://www.true-track.com for my low rider, but I haven't really noticed any issues, probably because the stupid thing has no lean angle....

    Went to a Harley hangout in Maine

    I wouldn't say that, I just know what I like. The Hondas have too much body work for my taste. Even when I rode sport bikes I prefered naked look. I like to see the engine. Like I said in another post, if triumph made a full blown touring bike like a goldwing, Electra, etc, that'd be the ideal...

    Not a huge fan of the looks on that, tho I know it's a great bike.

    Went to a Harley hangout in Maine

    Yeah and I like the Corbin fairing, but it lacks any stereo provisions from what I can see and isn't cheap for sure. I'm still very torn, which is why I decided not to sell my current bike this year. I don't know what I wanna do, so not gonna do anything til I think it thru.
