Hello Gentlemen,
Bought my first trike, a Tri Glide a couple months ago and am slowly getting 40 years of 2 wheeled reactions out of my head. It's taking time but its feeling more normal each ride.
This is my first post and I'm hoping somebody can shed some light on my mystery:
The rear frame assembly has two cross members they run side to side right under the trunk. Each cross member has a steel bar resting in it that is approximately 17" x 1" x 1.5" and weigh about 10 lbs. per bar.
The bars are drilled and tapped 5/16 UNC a couple inches from each end. One of them was in the trunk when I bought the bike, the other is rattling around loose in the rear cross member. The dealership knows nothing about these bars, H-D customer service knows or tells little about them other than the rear frame assembly is a non serviceable part and can't/won't provide me any info about it or related attaching parts. The second Harley rep mentioned a Ballast Bar but no details.
Has anybody else come across these parts?
