What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[bulkness]

I like using the reusable filter for the main reason I can look inside the filter to hopefully see how clean the oil is.

This remote system works very well. Only concern I have is it rides very close to the side plate. I'll most likely put a small piece of clear 3M vinyl where it touches the panel. I might mention that my side panel on the left side does not fit as well as the right side panel and this is the main reason it touches. This winter I'll take it apart and have the pieces powder coated black. I also wish they had a mounting system that mounted to the down tubes near the shift linkage. This would get the filter away from the side panel.

If someone can tell me why these pictures are rotated wrong please PM. They are orientated correctly on my computer.

Yes, it's nice to see the filter element without having to cut it open.

We're working on making one that will mount up under the body, right inside the rear left tire.

Installed FullSac DX header with their Tri-Glide extensions. Installed Rush Big Louie 4" mufflers. Note to self. Don't be cheap. Buy new muffler clamps. Was not a hard install. It would be nice to have normal size hands instead of paws though. Of yea, thank you Lord for my lift. Onto the next project. Tony

It was delivered many accents added including lift today bumper and if rain stops a ride

2014 oil pan had two stripped bolts so H-D was going to replace the oil pan under warranty. Instead I paid the difference and had them install the H-D 1.5+ oil pan.

The H-D website shows the pan will not fit the Tri-Glide. The service manager could see no reason why it would not fit. He told me if I order the 1.5+ pan and it did not fit they would pull the pan off one of the floor models and swap out the pan so I would not have to wait another week for the stock pan to arrive. This is where you know you have a good dealership.

Pan did fit. Bolted up just fine. Service manager did say it was tight getting it up under there. We pick the Tri-Glide up today. Looking forward to seeing how it looks. 1.5 more quarts of oil will be nice. Tony

I was looking into that too, but saw the disclaimer. Will a motorcycle lift, like the J&S lift work with the bigger pan???

Why DX? I was under the impression that the CX made more torque for the trikes. Maybe I'm wrong??
Any dyno runs done?? I bet it sounds AWESOME.

HDBOB, the reason for the DX is I had them from an install on the 2014 Street Glide we had. They sound very nice. A tune is in order but will have to wait as the Tri-Glide is in the paint shop getting a large chip repair on the fender, then off to another shop to have the 3M clear put on the fenders.

I picked the Tri-Glide up today. The Service Manager said the pan will work but it was a PIA to install. This was the first one they did and it took over 5 hours to install. I'll have to wait a bit before I can let you know if the lift jack will still work for sure. From what I saw just bending over and looking is it does not hang down below the frame rails.

I'll post some pictures next week when it get out of the paint shop for a chip repair.

Have you considered this protectant cover ?
https://www.xpel.com/products/xpel_u...ction_film.asp

It is self healing from scrapes & scares. It also will do a lot better coverage on the finders. Like 100% if you want. Watch their videos.

Yesterday I put "DK's" Premium Comfort Lift Kit on my 2015 Tri-Glide. I could not be happier with a product. This was the best accessory I installed on my 2013 Tri-Glide and again on my 2015. Thank You Kevin, for a great product.

I will ask what the name of the clear cover is they use. I use the 3M in a generic name only. I did like the way the Xpel preformed in the video.

I haven't posted in this thread but really need to, for FYI and evaluation from use.
I bought our TG used (2800 miles). When I bought it, it came with the following already installed:
CB radio, XM radio, Mini Saddlebags, Driver adjustable backrest, chrome rear bumper, fender bras, windshield bag, chrome slotted windshield trim, Short HD antennas, bought from seller along with trike and had installed within first week: Chrome front legs and cow bells, chrome handlebar control covers and LED oil dipstick.

Everything above works and looks great except the fender bras, I'm sure they work good but I just didn't like the looks of them on the fenders, to much black with the mini bags and bras. Might use them for long trips, maybe....The short antenna cut down on reception, both radio and CB, but I can accept this and I like the looks.

Switched the passgenger grab rail with the one I bought for my 2013 Ultra. It's an aftermarket one, I think from Kuryakin. It's a flatter rail and doesn't hit the wife's legs. We like it.

Installed drink holders for both the wife and myself, Kuryakin for both. Modifyed the mount for the Butler mug ring ( longer bolt) for use on my handle bar drink mount, I really like the butler mug setup, ugly but one of the best for motorcycles. Have the solid chrome ring from Kury for both front and rear ( allows use of coffee travel mug and will accept a standard 20oz drink cup) basket drink holder and th e Butler mug rings and 20oz cups). Highly recommend the Butler system.
installed a set of "frenched" headlight and passing light trim rings, not crazy about them. Had the ones with the frenched visor rings in the past and may removed the ones installed and buy new ones with the visor, like them better.

Installed a set of Freedom mufflers yesterday, so far I like them. Louder than stock...may turn into to loud, we'll see.

In the garage to be installed:
Fullsac header pipe and Arlan Ness Big Sucker but need to wait until I get a TTS tuner.
Set of Hyper lights, flash five times and go steady. Break lights.
Chrome nastaliga round air cleaner cover for Big Sucker.

Dream list:
Chrome wheels

I think I'm caught up, sorry for the long winded post....

Would you happen to know the Kuryakin part number for the passenger handle that you used to replace the production 2014 handle

[kubotajim]

Just added Stage 4 kit.. Love it

[DK Custom Products]

Have not posted here in a while.

Yesterday test fit some new one-off slip-ons. Gotta make a few small changes then will be riding with them late next week to see how I like the sound and power.

Also made a few tweaks to the prototype on-board air system.

I looked at a picture of it, we probably won't get our first ride until March. I got till Thanksgiving before the dealer "permanently" stores it.

I have used the Kuryakyn passenger grab rails on my 14 trike. They will have some foam stuck to them to keep from scratching the rear fender (they are used on bikes also), I just removed the foam and they fit perfectly. Here is a link to Kuryakyns part.

I've rode at 0, have nothing to prove other than I have better things to do than deal with road chemicals and cleaning. It's more important to take that first ride with my wife anyway.
I'll take 6 wheels 8 miles to work instead of 3 and that same 6 that will haul it 1300 miles to Sturgis too.
