The only competition in the American motorcycle circle is Indian. Now if Indian's design team comes up with a 'Factory' trike they may have a winner. If they don't try they'll never know, too many people think inside the box.

I think if Polaris AKA Indian did that now they will be a dollar short and a Day late..

I dunno Bob, if they wanted to beat Harley like Indian did back in the day they would come out with an IRS trike with mechanical reverse

On paper it sounds good but financially I don’t think it will ever happen with Polaris..?

I dunno Bob, Polaris needs another comeback after the Victory line, Polaris is a well established business with deep pockets in snowmobiles, watercrafts ,motorcycles just to name a few
They are pretty diversified and could afford another winning project IMO

I may just for the heck of it send a letter to the design team and Indian suggesting a trike in their line up and if they look back into the history of Indian they will find a trike called the 'Dispatch Tow' and build off the idea just as Harley Davidson did with the Servi-car trike. I agree with mechanical reverse and independent suspension. It never hurts to ask.

This should be an eye opener and interesting
I hope
I would like to see mechanical reverse on the trikes along with a REAL adjustable clutch cable, not this junk
Jack you are so right about the cheap azz adjustable cable clutch. On a month long road trip and first week in riding buddy got stranded because the cheap red plastic locking tab on his clutch broke. 2021 TG with only 15k on it. Luckily we were able to push him and he got started by dropping into second gear and rode it with no clutch for 80 miles. Luckily we were in MT with few towns / stop lights, etc., and made it to hotel in Havre, MT. Towed to dealer 115 miles away who luckily had the part. Otherwise it would have been adios for him on this trip. Rediculous for this to happen.

Well, let's see. Bought a $29,000 '21 Freewheeler at Rommels HD in Smyrna Delaware and couldn't get them to do a 10,000 mile service after 3 1/2 weeks of trying, nor did they seem to care. Atlantic Cnty HD in NJ replaces 2 spark plugs instead of 4 and brushes me off when I ask about. Adamec HD in Jacksonville FL, where I went for a quart of Syn3 oil and asked the parts guy in conversation how come they didn't have any Freewheelers on the floor. He didn't know what I was talking about. So I'm thinking Harley would be well advised to start getting people who actually know and CARE about what they're doing. You know, maybe like running a professional business?

I have the staff @ Adamecs under control
Did you stop @ the Atlantic store or @ the Baymeadows store?

Probably the Baymeadows store. Granddaughter was following her GPS to the closest one to where she lives.

If she lives @ the beach, the Atlantic store is closer to her, I have never had good luck @ that location

She's on West 6th St. Not a location I'm thrilled about, but such is life.

I would like to see HD do a better gear set for the transmissions including a 7 speed real time overdrive

You gotta be the Rodney Dangerfield of motorcycles- no respect. You need to develope a winning personality such as I have. If you walk into your local dealer and the sales guys dont duck out, the parts guys dont hide in the back room and the motorclothes ladies dont start crying and that weasel GM dosnt lock himself in his office with a pistol- then your doing something wrong. Now practise in front of the mirror: "What did you just say?" Again louder: "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" Now scowl like Bluto. Report back on how you made out.

independent rear suspension and better color schemes on Triglides. Id also like to see some curvy fenders available. Triglides look pretty unappealing, but i'm rolling a snake venom one
