Is there that big a difference?

I'm surprised no one has stated the difference in the actual ride due to the rear tire size variances (240 vs. 180).

That alone makes for a smoother, long-distance ride.

Then there is the side-bag issue. Gotta carry lots of crap down to the bar on Saturdays...

The cost of the Carpenter pipe as listed on their site is 1500. for Polished Stainless
1300 for unpolished. These prices are without a baffle. I am not sure what Bob Charges for the Baffle but I think its about 200 bucks.

I am not sure if the tire size makes a difference or not I have over 60,000 miles on the 240 size and she tours just fine. I only have the 30 liter hard side bags and 45 litler trunk to throw stuff in on trips if I needed more room I would purchase the 40 liter side bags and roll on.

Like I stated, about $2000 with dyno tuning.

Elvis, the motors are identical. The difference lies in their factory tunes. The R3T can be retuned via TuneBoy to make as much or more power than a stock Classic and with the addition of a Carpenter Brute exhaust it will make about 165 ft. lbs torque and an equal amount of horsepower, while weighing about 60 pounds lighter. Cost is about $2,000.

thanks Phil, I would never spend that kind of money on the bike I have as it would just be gone. It outruns all cruisers as is with the exception of ****** rockets so that is good enough for me.

Here is the dyno graph of the R3T with the brute pipe on it. I must note this is without any filters and just the OEM velocity stacks so your result will verry depending on your choice of filters.



If I were going to use filters I would look at something like the Pipercross style
but thats my preferrence.
