Hi,

A friend told me that at the last Italy Motor Show in Padova hold in Jannuary there was a company who showed a new complete fairing for the R3. It seems to be unique.

Having searched the net I do not find any info about it.

Someone has any info or details about it ?

I will tray to get a catalogue since I brougth one from the show, but will not get it until a few weeks when I see him back.

This is an accesory that is very interesting for most of us who use the R3 for touring on the highway.

Probably this company. I have not seen an actual production piece though.

Hannigan might be willing to mount a custom full fairing on the Rocket if you really want one but would not be cheap and would probably require them to have a Rocket in their shop for fabrication of the right parts.

(IF I were to decide the Rocket must have a full fairing my solution would IAL be to get the "Touring Rocket" when it comes out this fall equipped with that and more, or so rumor has it.)

Call Corbin and ask them.

Has anyone tried the Trimtag fairing by Corbin? Been here a while and just noticed I've never read anything on it.

By "complete" I assumed he meant a full fairing which Corbin's falls way short of. The Trimtab fairing is IMO just an oversized flyscreen, though I'm sure deflection and ease of adjustment are superior to Triumph's flyscreen (at that price it had better be!)

I believe Corbin is working on a full faring and top trunk for the Rocket.

TFI--I will definitely take a look at that when it comes out but geez based on what Corbin charges for a Trimtab a full-dresser type fairing might cost more than the Rocket it goes on :-D

Beetle bags are pretty expensive so if the faring and top trunk go commercial they will probably be likewise.

Batman;

My photo album shows that I have the Trimtab and Corbins Beetle bags, as well as two of their seats.

Quality is superb...

And, I have a source that can get this a bit cheaper than what's listed.
