She's Back....Gliding again

[GLIDER3]

Good morning everyone,

Well, we finally got the Roadglide back and she's a looker. It took 11 weeks and I was beginning to wonder if my baby ended up in Mexico.

What I didn't know is that my wonderful wife and the builder (Superior Trikes) were in cahoots. They were planning a custom paint job that I was totally unaware of. I'm a fan of old school type flames and my wife knows that. I think she got her first hint when I had flames put on the John Deere.

Anyway to make a long story short I have posted all of the pics on my album.

I've put about 400 miles on her this week. What a ride.

Enjoy!!!!

Now that is quite a transformation. Makes the 11 week wait without a ride just about worth it! And now, let the fun begin.....

Karl,

That is magnificent and well worth the wait.

Your wife and the painter did a fantastic job of blending the old school flames with the contemporary ones on the original bike, melding it into a beautiful work of art!

No one needs ask your reaction…it’s written all over your face.

Sweet !

She is a real looker. Lesley I would suggest consideration of Glider3's Road Glide as Trike of the month. Them Road Glides make great trikes. Gee but I maybe a little bias. Ted

Good evening everyone,

Thank you all so much for the kind comments. Wow, to even be considered for trike of the month is quite an honor. You guys and gals are great.

Since we got the bike back my wife and I have installed an H-D Airwing luggage rack with light kit, H-D split vision mirrors, Kuryakyn heat deflectors and a bridge the gap heat shield to hide that ugly blue exhaust spot.

I guess the next thing is to get this puppy cooled down. I read with great interest Ultraboy's article on just how to get that done. Great article Ultraboy,kudos to you. These are some expensive mods but, well worth the money.

I apologize for not being on the site for a while but, I'm a Locksmith with Coastal Carolina University and when the kids...er young adults go home for the summer I have to undo all the damage the little kiddies do. Not an easy task.

My wife and I are looking forward to hopefully meeting some of you in the very near future. If you're ever in or near the Myrtle Beach area please let us know via the forum we'd be happy to have you.

Again thank you all for the kind comments.
