That’s a nice touring for sure Head. Yours looks much better equipped than mine for long road trips. I take restroom breaks every 150 miles or so. Clever idea you had though ... strapping a porta-potty to the back. I’m thinking of mounting an Ultra Glide fairing after the 09’ riding season. Then I won’t have to handlebar mount all my geek toys.
I too have a 05’ Black Cherry Rune. I tell people that the Rune rides like a Lexus and the Rocket like a 55’ Chevy. The Rune has much smoother shifting and acceleration and the trailing-link suspension eats giant potholes like Rosie O’Donnell does cupcakes. But its styling is more “Gold Wing in drag” than the traditional bad-boy wannabe, two-wheeled circus we’re all used to seeing at bike rallies and aging-boomer biker bars. That’s why I like the Rocket. It’s neither. It is the anti-Harley alternative to the vibrating V-Twinkie engine that’s dominated the cruiser scene ever since Captain America smuggled drug money in the gas tank of his mutilated cruiser.
Easy Rider probably had a more lasting impact on the biker culture than did The Wild One, The Great Escape, or even the reliable Japanese Honda. Although I witnessed the 60’s, I was too young to drop acid, partake in “free love” or chop my little blue Honda Trail 70. Maybe that’s why a connection between the counter-culture image and two-wheeled motorized vehicles just doesn’t register with me.
I’m a power junkie. When I twist the throttle, I want more than the frail tug of a World War II era replica. I want a bike that can pull with a G-force sufficient to deprive my brain cells of the oxygen they need to keep me conscious (a much more respectable endeavor).
Whether it’s cajones, donuts or motorcycles, size matters …

No they are from Quick Detachable Fairing, with 6 1/2" speakers or 6" x 9" speakers for Harley Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Victory
I use the Triumph quick release sissybar hardware with my own brackets for the trunk and it comes off in 5seconds
The Fairing mounts to the fork where the stock hardware did for the screen, I had to make my own brackets and it comes off in about 2minutes.
