What part of CT are you in? I am in MA at the intersection of RI , CT and MA. I also have a R3T. Great bike. This is my second Rocket. The first was a standard Rocket. I also have gotten used to no tach. The bike doesn't need it. I put a set of TORS on my R3T. Adds a little deep throat but not obnoxiously loud. I am pretty satisfied with the set up. Good luck with teh new bike!
On my last trip (~400 mi.) I got 32 mpg on some legs of the trip. But on one 90 mi. stretch across the "rim", from Slow Low to Payson I got 58 mpg. averaging 60-65 mph, 2 up. If you stay out of the throttle (and who wants to do that?) it can get decent mileage.
You bought the best. 2300 mile tour through France last year gave 40mpg to a Brit gallon (4.5 litres) my Dyna used to give about 45 on the same type of tour but a lot less grins and fewer pissed off sports car drivers!
Enjoy!!
