Finally!

[Comatose]

Well after 2 years I finally got myself a Rocket.

Used 2011 R3T with a Tsuyaku fairing, kinda high miles (66k) but that doesn't bother me for the price I paid. The PO did a lot of Iron Butts with it, so it's pretty much all highway miles.

Now I just need to get exhaust (Jardine, Zard, or comparable). Cruise control and a trailer hitch and the "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" will be set.

Congratulations!

You'll have problems with finding an aftermarket exhaust, Jardine stopped making them for the R3T and Zard only makes them for the "normal" Rocket. It's a minor annoyance with the R3T, we're different enough that the aftermarket is smaller.

The good news is that with a new map for the ECU you can take the machine from 80-something to 116-117 horses with no other modifications. Just did that on mine and it is like a new bike, especially when you need to rev and go fast.

What about D&D and Staintune ? Are they still making exhaust for the T ?

Check out Bushtec.com for,hitches. They make hitches for the,R3T. They have excellent trailers too.

No reason it won't be a great ride. Good buying and welcome aboard.

Proven miles means it's keeper. Good looking bike, btw.
