    Default Traveled this Week. Improvements Needed

    2013 TriGlide factory stock. I put a little over 800 miles on it the last 3 days. Actually it never moved on day 2 as I was visiting family. Im in eastern Iowa and I rode to Duluth Mn and then home. I came down hwy 63 through Wisconsin then into Minnesota and Iowa. I wanted to miss the Twin Cities altogether.

    Seat needs a little help. after about 4 hours I hurt around the tailbone area.

    Id like to have a little more hp but also a little better gas mileage. The heat from that engine (cat) is pretty intense.

    Minnesota and Wisconsin back roads are either beat to death or under construction making for a rough ride at times especially with a sore tail bone.

    Heel shifter has to go and the footboards need to move out so I can move around a little. Left side was the worst.

    Other than changes Id like to make the trip went well. Ride was good on good roads. Everything worked.

    I know all of you are already aware of these conditions but I'm just adding my observations.

    Ive got about a million bugs to clean today.

    I have Mustang seats on 2 of my 2wheel Harleys. I agree they are nice seats. I also needed a back rest on the ride.

    Thanks

    Bugs on the bike are a "Badge of Honor" ... might want to enjoy them a few days ...

    Dennis, glad to hear you got a good ride in!

    I removed my heal shifter and moved the toe shifter out to where the heal shifter was. I got a spacer from Kuryakin to cover the inside part of the shaft where the toe shifter was origionally. I also put a Kury extended toe peg on the shifter.

    When I did all this, I also put on a set of DK floor board extenders (moves the boards out an inch).

    This set up works very well for me.
    It is what it is.

    The heel shifter was my biggest complaint. I kept trying different ways to adjust my foot position but never found a spot. Floorboards need moved out as well. Apparently my boots are too big.

    I love my DK floor board extenders.

    Might want to look into a wide AirHawk seat cushion. They are guaranteed to extend your sit time by a factor of 2.

    Just got back from the Canadian National HOG rally in Ottawa. 2640 wonderful miles. I have the H-D Road Zepplin air seat = Nothing's better - NOTHING. I also have a beaded seat pad that I bought for my SS1000 rides. A million cabbies can't be wrong.

    I also have the 1" floor board extenders. I love my extended heel shifter (saves my spit shined boots). I use it 95% of the time. It also comes in handy if you loose the toe shifter, which a gal in my HOG chapter did a few years back. Got her to the dealer OK.

    I don't take anything OFF the bike, it was put there for a reason.

    I have a set of crotch coolers for the heat and I'm all set for comfortable riding.

    Sounds like a fun ride! You've identified a lot of the same things that I did when first riding a Tri-Glide.

    Besides upgrading the suspension to help eat up those bumpy roads (see Report HERE), an airhawk will do wonders improving the comfort of your seat.

    With a little work you can get your temps down and your power up! Heat Report Link, and Increase Power Link

    Have fun cleaning the TG...there are a lot of nooks and crannies those buggers get stuck in.
