What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[MikeyTX]

Took it for a 175 mile ride....

Must mean the snow melted ...............

[MikeyTX]

Rode to work, 18 miles. Rode home from work, about 65 miles. Just don't understand the disparity in milage.

Must mean the snow melted ...............

Yep all gone, And warm 55/60 degrees ...

[MikeyTX]

Won't last sadly. The next big front rolls through here this afternoon. 36* tonight. You will get it by Sunday.

After getting home , noticed rear tires being lower than normal. Thru the gauge on- 15lbs Pumped them up to 23, thought somthing felt wrong .

[MikeyTX]

Drove the car today. My body can't cope with the temperature drop from 60 this morning to 39 later today when the front rolls through today.

I have the same problem. When I go anywhere in the car it takes a fraction of the miles it takes when I ride.

. Also had a hard time with the instructions on the left side, a bolt that was exactly positioned on the sheet to come off did not need to be touched. As you did, I finally figured it out but took a while. Happy with the results now but those instructions need to be modified.

Interesting to see. I bought the floor board extenders a while back. I went out to the garage to install them because it looks very simple in the package. I started reading about putting a block of wood under the left floor board to keep wires and other parts from falling. I decided to put the task off for another day and never got back to it.

I think I'm going to put them on this week end but I'm going to stare at the left side for a while before I twist any bolts.

Thanks for the heads up.

[LadyonaMission]

If the left side of the Tri-Glide is like my Freewheeler, it's not difficult once you determine which 3 bolts mount the floorboard to the frame. Using the block of wood for support becomes evident when you get the 3 bolts loose, but not completely removed.

I did have a problem getting one bolt loose, but a friend with an impact wrench solved that for me.

Must be something in the steering. I rode 10 miles to get a hair cut today and the speedometer racked up 55 miles by the time I got home.

[MikeyTX]

Won't happen today sadly. It's 35* outside at the moment.

I changed out the stock handlebars with Khrome Werks 1x12 ape hangers #300201, installed a CB module, lighted switches, Long Ride Shields Ultra, three-pocket fairing pouch and DK Customs Cooling Deflector Wings.

We picked up the bike from it's 10K service then got our knuckles scratched up doing a complete wax and chrome clean, she looks great.

I have never been one to leave well enough alone and this new-to-me bone stock 2014 Tri-Glide with under 500 miles on the odometer was just begging to be messed with. After reading through the forum for a while to get some good ideas, I ordered everything I wanted for now and got most of it done this past week.

I had to modify my J&S jack to work under the trike and my mod worked great. There was no way I was going to buy another one given how expensive they are, but it's amazing how solid that big ol' thing is when all the way up on the jack.

Still need to take it out and get some warmed up fuel maps to load in the auto tune. But, it has been rainy and drizzly this weekend so hopefully, that will get done in a day or two. Can't wait to see if my "seat dyno" gives me some good numbers.

Here my list of "done's" in no particular order:

• DK Tank lift kit
• DK Floor board extensions
• Trike lift kit
• Kury Shifter peg extensions
• Kury Brake pedal extension
• Kury switchblade highway pegs with Harley short angle mounts
• Fuel Moto stage 1 AC
• Fuel Moto Power Vision
• Fuel Moto 4" Jackpot dyno tuned slip-ons
• HD air wing tour pak rack
• HD air wing fender rails
• HD smart siren (I have my pager from the old bike)
• HD wheel fender trim
• HD rider backrest and mount
• Got rid of the crappy tranny oil and put some Redline Shockproof in.

On back order:

• gauge and radio chrome trim kit

On hand, but waiting for my break-in oil change in 500 miles:

• DK Oil filter relocation kit
• DK oil cooler
• DK Outlaw reusable oil filter

Quite a list of mods there. Sounds like you're having fun!

Your drizzling should be gone soon so you can get out and ride this next week.

I always prefer to ride than to clean.

But this last week I needed to get away from the desk, it was cold and raining out, so I spent a couple of hours cleaning a couple of months of bugs and road dirt off.

Snapped a couple of pics yesterday.






Not show clean...but a whole lot cleaner than it was.




btw, I've been using the 303 Speed Detailer that Zammy turned me onto...really like it a lot.

Kevin bike looks real clean. Nice coilor as well. Can you tell me where you bought your sheepskin cover and what model it is please.

[Zammy]

Installed a DK Custom tourpak relocation package, we moved it back 2" and the Misses is very happy.

[MikeyTX]

looked at it in the garage. had to baby sit the granddaughter. in retrospect, I should have put her on the back seat and ridden it around the circle drive.
