Hi all will be getting 2009 Touring shortly and have ?'s

[Sensfan]

Hi all. I am a veteran bike rider of 47 years experience and about 25-30 bikes. I live 70 miles north of Dallas. I just sold my 06 Stratoliner (nice bike), and now am looking forward to getting the 09 Rocket touring in about 3 weeks.
Are there any differences between 2008-2013 touring models? Has anyone tried Cee Bailey's 22' windshield? I know I will be wanting a taller one than stock
I think the bike has most everything I want other than taller windshield, throttle lock (I am getting the Go Cruise, I had one on the Strato and it is awesome), and maybe some accent lights. Is there anything else you can think of that a loaded stock Rocket touring might need? Thanks, Tim

I bought the 22" windshield for my 2013 touring, the stock one at 19" would deflect everything except junebugs and bumblebees, I got tired of getting them in the cheek, I'm mush happier with the taller one. My bike also has the ABS brakes, they work great. there is a "deristricting" thread on the touring forum, great tune download if your bike doesn't already have it.

I have a 2011 R3T, no ABS, downloaded Wayne's tune (GREAT), also have the 22" windscreen and have the breakaway cruise control and think it's great, but does require modification to fit the 2011 and later R3Ts which I have posted on another thread and have also added red LEDs under bags.

I am 6'3" and long wasted. I was able to get both windshields with the bike when I bought it used. The short one is great in the summer and the tall one is the best I have ever had. I have used clearview shields before on Road Kings because they come too short stock. I love the taller Triumph windshield for riding two up. Quiet enough for intercoms.
