Instaled mud flaps on my new 2020 TG. I put the Kuryakyn mud flaps on my 2018 and while I really liked them I thought I'd do something a little different this time. Learned about Frank's Leather Products on this forum and most impressed in that they are a small business, in the USA, and offer excellent customer service. Frank was a wealth of knowledge and helped me in my decision of what style flaps I wanted. I like 'em. :)

I am wondering the same thing.

[QUOTE=DK Custom Products;732999]The [URL="http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/dynojet-target-tune-for-the-power-vision-harley-efi-tuner-dk-pv-tt.htm"]Target Tune[/URL] made a pretty significant improvement over a good standard auto tune on my Sportster....but I've never felt the need to get that extra on the Tri Glide. Well, it would be nice, but never felt it was worth it, but that's just me. If one was looking to eek out every bit they could, it is the way to go. [URL="http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/dynojet-target-tune-for-the-power-vision-harley-efi-tuner-dk-pv-tt.htm"]HERE[/URL] are more details on it. Gotta have the wide band bungs in the header too.
My road glide champion kit had a S&S 124 super side winder that was 131 ft pds of torque my 2020 tri glide stock might be 90 ft pds it is a dog, not trying to get eek out every last drop trying to get some balls out of it, a target tune may get me 5 more ft pds of torque . the best you no is the best you have ever had .I'm going to try a screaming eagle stage 3 more compression 498 cam gutted cat arliness big sucker air cleaner bassani megaphone muffler screaming eagle tuner & auto tune maybe get 115 ft pds of torque ? that's my thought

From Frank's website:
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial][B]NO DRILLING OF YOUR FENDERS IS REQUIRED FOR MY MUD FLAPS. [/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial] Mud Flaps are held on with an amazing Hook and Loop System manufactured by Velcro USA. It is some of the best Hook and Loop in the World. I don’t know of any store where you can buy it. It was originally designed for use by The Aviation and Aerospace Industry and is a “Special Order” item. Velcro USA won’t even start up their machines to make this stuff for an order of less than 1,500 meters (about one mile) in length.
As you may guess, it’s fairly expensive but I special order it from a business acquaintance in Texas, who makes purchases for corporations working in The Aviation and Aerospace Industry. A 100% Polyester Adhesive Backed Hook Strip is attached under the lower edge of the fender. The Polyester Hook Strip is 100% Waterproof. It won’t creep or shrink and its’ operating temperature is minus 45 degrees (-45) to plus 185 degrees (+185) Fahrenheit.
The Loop Strip is sewn onto the Mud Flap with heavy-duty Thread. Opening and closing strength is rated at 500 openings. A customer (a retired Mechanical Engineer) tested a set of my Mud Flaps on his heavily modified Indian Chief at Willow Springs Raceway and at speeds up to 135 miles per hour – they performed flawlessly. I have customers (and myself) who have ran these Hook and Loop attached Mud Flaps on their bikes for over a hundred thousand miles.
I run them on the front of every bike I’ve owned for the last twenty years because they keep all the stuff thrown up by the front tire out of my engine compartment. They will work great to keep stuff out of your radiator or oil cooler, if your bike has one. Holding strength of this Hook and Loop is measured at 15.45 pounds per square inch, measured on a vertical shear and for example, an Indian Chief takes 31-inches of one-inch Velcro Hook around the inside bottom edge of the rear fender. According to Velcro USA, that’s 478.95 pounds holding strength for a Mud Flap that only weighs about two-pounds. Try them, you won’t regret them.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Yesterday I did get a chance to remove the Zumo in preparation for putting the Dash Mount back on. I'm trying to clean up the cock pit area. It does look cleaner.
I took the trike for a ride and did do some of the roads that actually "weren't there on the 2014 maps". As hoped, the new maps actually show a road ... LOL. Guess the update was successful.
Oil relocator and cooler is supposed to be here today ... weather is taking a turn towards the famed rain/snow showers so might not get installed right away. Gonna go to the dealer today and get a quart of redline and a new oil filter. I'm ready, now if the weather would cooperate. Guess I shouldn't complain, it is February in Colorado ... LOL ... just feel so good I want to get this stuff done and be "all set" for Kerrville. :D

The two Allen screws under the passenger board might be in the way ... when I get a chance I'll take the bracket out and see if it will fit ... we'll see ... I really hope so.
