Congrats on the new ride Bill, great looking color also.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
Congrats on the new ride. Believe me, you and the mrs will love the extra ride comfort and storage space the tri glide provides. It is the reason I was able to do the two back to back trips this past summer to the west coast. I would never have tried it on the Limited Low. The two tone Blue is a winner for sure.

Bill,
Wife and I are loving our 2016 Tri-Glide.
I join the others in liking your choice of color.
You mentioned you are leaving yours stock. Please let us know if you have any passenger heat issues during rides above 90 degrees F.
Some day I will update from my 2016 and am wondering if Harley finally engineered out all the ungodly passenger/rider heat issues.
Perhaps the Catalytic converter has become a non-issue?

Y'all need to take one for a test ride. Only leave your checkbook at home ! Harley moved the cat back over a foot such that heat should no longer be an issue for either the rider or passenger. Whole exhaust system is new. Flows much better and dissipates heat better/faster.

I planned on going for a test ride tomorrow. My 14 tri is almost new and I almost have it where I want it. I might just for a long ride tomorrow and the test rides will be over. Jim

I will let you know for sure but so far no real heat issues but it has not been 90 degrees F yet.
The new Milwaukee 8 runs cooler than the previous stock Harley 103 did. Harley also moved the cat back quite a bit further in the header to help with heat issues down by your feet and legs.(Complete new exaust system on the Milwaukee 8).
I have found floorboard extensions really help as well by moving your leg and feet further away from the engine.
I just installed my floorboard extensions and my extended rear shifter arm today along with my LA Choppers front ext shift peg (works great with ext floorboards). This was the set up that I had on my Freewheeler.
Ride Safe,
Bill G

Yup you got it... The new exaust system is much nicer than the system on my 2015 Freewheeler. It also has a nice tone to it but my Freewheelers stock mufflers sounded nice to. The Milwaukee 8 has a grip more torque and runs really smooth. So far I am very impressed.
Ride Safe,

I really like what they've done to the engine. However, several things hold me back. The lack of a rear suspension upgrade is the biggest one. Followed by the fact that my '16 runs just fine and, the comfort/convenience mods I've made have the trike just as I want it . Lastly, the deprecation hit I would take just doesn't cut it. Since I ride solo, the cat heat really has never been an issue.
