Harley owner, future Rocket 3 owner

Hello my name is Victor, I've been a long time motorcycle owner and other than some dirt bikes as a kid they've all been Harley Davidsons. I've had quite a few softails, a full custom from the frame up, a Heritage Springer, a V-Rod, and my past two bikes have been CVO Ultra Classics. My current 2009 CVO Ultra Classic is for sale and when it sells, I will be buying a Rocket 3.

Coming from ultra classics, I figured I would go with the R3 Touring, but I can't get passed how much I like the tank on the Roadster! So, I'll be getting a roadster and adding a windshield (or possibly one of Corbins fairings if I get a good deal on the bike) and saddlebags.

My only worry is the size of the R3, I'm a big guy that needs a big bike! The Vrod I had was fun but the size of it made it not a good fit for me. I've only seen one R3 in person and it wasn't a friend of mine so I didn't ask to sit on it. My brother rides a Ducati Diavel and it's got to be the most uncomfortable bike for a large man ever made! But the speed of the bike is a whole lotta fun!

Anyway, I'll be lurking around here looking over all the info and making sure it's a bike that will be a good fit for me. Any advise would be appreciated!
