2008 Triumph rocket 3 touring
Been working on this settup to see if the touring can get a lsr record at an upcoming ecta event at the Arkansas mile. The 130/70zr/17 handles very good, i have not done a full pull yet but its pretty awesome, handling is very nimble for the big boy. Will be pushing for a record of above 160mph. Few more tweeks but the Widowmaker is close. Retuning with oxygenated race fuel and will be fitting a different muffler, shorter, to remove bags and bag frames. in the next couple weeks for the event.

That's where mine is at now, took the bags and frames, passenger floorboards, and passenger backrest and rack off. Also windshield and counting trailer hitch, it lost 106 lbs
