Valkrie or Triumph???

It is a Lehman Magnum used on Valkyrie non-Interstate models. At the time, Lehman was producing the same body for Harley's used by Police Departments and made them for Honda Shadow and Suzuki 1400 Intruder.

Kinda changing the subject. since you are a Leman Tech; is a 2010 Triglide bought at a Dealership, a Dealership done Conversion? the reason why I am asking, my Mechanic told me that my trike is cocked crooked, like it isn't totally square. It runs straight down the road but is there an adjustment that can be done to check? thx. for any info. back.

If it says Tri Glide on the trunk door, it is a factory unit. The mo co owns that name. The body itself should be a dead give away. Or, run the serial number past customer service in Milwaukee.

The 2009 and 2010 Tri-Glide were made in partnership with Lehman. They are considered to be 100% Harley because the components used by Lehman were what either Harley designed and subed out to Lehman or approved parts supplied by Lehman. At least that is the just of it. The front 1/2 of the TRI was assembled in York Pa at the Harley plant.

It was shipped out to Spearfish SD where Lehman USA added the trike portion with the Harley designed and approved trike assembly. The finished product was sent back to Harley for distribution. The finished product is considered a factory built trike not a conversion. A Harley Dealer had nothing to do with assembling the early TRI. The trike they received was finished except for items that needed fitting after shipping. In 2011 Harley started doing the complete assembly in York.

Your running gear is probably square because it tracks fine, but the body maybe bolted on a little out of square. That doesn't hurt anything unless there is a visual problem looking at it that bothers you. The body can be squared up if you desire.

Gorilla is absolutely correct !!ThumbUp

Thanks for clarifying that for me Gorilla. I gotta find out how to do the body bolts and try to straightened it up. It's a mind thing with me now since my Mechanic pointed it out to me. Trikes are kinda new to him also, since he has only been working on a few of them over the last 5 years. Small shop out here in the country side of Michigan.

Looks like there are 4 bolts that hold the body to the frame base. There might be some foam strip between the body and frame. You should be able to loosen the four bolts and move the body a little. The foam may attach itself to the body so you might have to free that up. Lehman had specs and maximum tolerances on body fitment.

To see if it is your body, use a tape measure from the center of the tread on the tire to the front of each fender. If there is more than 1/8" difference it might be noticeable. I take a tape measure also against the top of the sidewall of the tire and measure the inset or distance from the side of the outer fender. Again you want it within a 1/16". That is how you check body to frame straightness. Check one side against the other.

The tourpack could be crooked too, but that is another story.

Check the above for body alignment but that is also after confirming that the rear axle is properly aligned too.

Nothing worse than a tour pack that thinks it's a politician ..................... epper: ............:clapping:
