Dwight, I agree with you about the paint and the bike, especially the bike. The Rocket III has the look of a car engine on two wheels and has been butt ugly (IMHO) from day one. You could help that paint job with a brush and some barn paint, but you can't fix ugly styling. I have wanted the world's largest cc bad arse production bike since it came out, but can't get past the "car engine" look. A heavily faired Rocket III Touring with a trunk, thicker, (more cores) smaller radiator and one (what happened to only one headlight anyway?) headlight may attract me and some from the Dark Side as well. They (Triumph) didn't ask me what I'd like to see (although I don't know why) in a new model III.
