    A Word of Encouragement

    Riding a Trike, Harley or otherwise, is a liberating experience for those of us that struggle, for whatever reason with the large two-wheel touring bikes today. I love to ride and my 2014 Triglide, without a doubt, has lengthened my riding time and pleasure. I often see posts with concerns over...

    Warning to others

    This morning I left on a three day ride with some of my regular riding friends from Dallas to Oklahoma City. I got about 50 miles from my home and stopped to gas up. I almost immediately smelled what I thought was coolant but turned out to be brake fluid. The lower brake line was touching the...

    Sheep Skin Seat Cover

    I looked back into the archives and didn't find a lot on this.....maybe I just didn't search hard enough.......I am seriously considering a sheep skin seat cover for the 14 Triglide. I PM'd another member and got some very positive feedback regarding the Black Sheep Trading Company in Maine. I...

    Lesson Learned on Road Zeppelin seat

    We are never too old to learn.....I have been reading the many comments about the Road Zeppelin seat and decided to buy one for my 14 Triglide. I knew within a very short period of time that it just was not for me. The newer Road Zeppelin seats have fewer air bladders than previous models...

    DG Slip-On's

    Not a question just a general comment. I ride a 14 Triglide and I wanted some more sound. I found that DG Slip-on mufflers do not require a download.....I am not a guru on this subject but my local Harley dealer backed that claim. They did not have a Triglide that was available for me to hear...

    Hammock Seat on 14 Triglide

    Hello.......I have been told that the adjustable backrest will not work with the newer Hammock seat on the 14 Triglide. One dealer says it will and another says it won't....comments are appreciated.

    Garmin Question

    I have 6,000 miles on the 14 Triglide and really enjoy it so far. The Infotainment GPS is sufficient but I really do miss the ease of use of the Garmin. I am considering getting one with the RAM mount like I had on an older Ultra. I guess everyone has their favorites but I really want a bright...

    Starting my 14 TG In Gear

    Maybe everyone but me knew this but I have been told that a 14 TG must be in neutral in order to start. I learned this morning, however, that information in incorrect. I learned by engaging the clutch and at the same time engaging the foot and hand brake, the 14 TG will start in gear....I...

    2014 Triglide Faring and fender Bra

    ​Looking for opinions and experiences.....I have a 2014 Triglide (Blackened Cayenne) with 4.,300 miles. I live in the country south of Dallas, Texas. I had the protective film applied from my Harley dealer when I took possession of the Triglide. The film is not holding up well (not adhering...

    3,000 mile trip on 14 Triglide

    Just returned from a 3,000 mile, 10 day trip from the Dallas area to South Dakota. I was loaded down for this solo ride and the 14 Triglide ran perfectly. My best mileage was 39 MPG in South Dakota and the worst was coming home in Texas with a very strong headwind at 23 mpg. I am running stock...

    Hand mike for CB

    Does anyone know if a handheld microphone can be used with the infotainment center on the Triglide....In the heat of the Texas summer I like to wear a shorty helmet and still have access to the CB.....I don't care for the Boom audio headset and Microphone....just looking for some options. Thanks

    2014 3-Pocket windshield pouch

    Went in to buy the 3 pocket windshield pouch for my 14 triglide and my dealer told me they were recently labeled as obsolete. He said that usually means they are coming out with a new design. Any info or comments? :confused:

    2" Pulbacks on 14 Triglide

    My dealer installed the 2" pullbacks on my 14 Triglide yesterday......what surprised me was when my mechanic called me to tell me that I didn't need to purchase the braided lines unless I wanted to. I saved about $350.00 (parts and labor) by using the stock lines and it works just fine. I have...

    Road Zeppelin for 14 Triglide

    I would be interested in hearing any comments anyone has regarding the Road Zeppelin seat on a 2014 Triglide. It appears the seat may have been redesigned for 2014. Looking for pro and con comments based on your riding experiences with this seat on this bike. Thanks

    1000 miles impressions on 14 Triglide

    I suppose the debate will be endless on the merits of an Independent Rear Suspension vs. a Solid Axle. I sold my 14 Limited because of my age and the need for three wheels. Like most of us, I researched to the point of even greater indecision. I finally decided that I wanted the Harley...

    Harley says no!

    Two weeks ago I called Jim Palmer at Kutter HD based on the positive comments that some of you made regarding his prices on the extended warranty. He quoted me $1,849.00 for an additional 5 years with tire and wheel and $1,649.00 without on a 14 Triglide. I told him I would get back to him...

    Another Handlebar question

    OK.....I have been reading as much as I can about the Harley pull-back handlebars for a 14 Triglide. I just took delivery Saturday of mine and I can see that I am reaching forward just a little too much and on a long haul it would be an issue. I had a 14 Ultra that seemed to be perfect but...

    New Triglide (With Pics)

    First time to post with pictures and trying to get the hang of it. Took delivery of my new 2014 Blackened Cayenne Sunglow Triglide this morning. It is really a pretty color but very hard for the photographs to do it justice. You can see, depending on the light it can look black or, if the sun...

    Windshield for 14 Triglide

    OK.....looking for comments on Clearview vs. Fastaire Vs. Harley Windshields......15" Harley Shield is too tall for me (I'm 6'0) The stock windshield on the 14 causes my glasses to vibrate way too much- I am leaning towards the 12" but I can't demo it so I am looking for your comments/experience...
