I like that.......The Street Trike, not the rumour.....

Like the Street Trike...As I mentioned on another thread, to me it's styled like an updated Servicar.

Looks like thay changed the rear tire size a bit. I think the previous rear was a 20570R15. Anybody know if that was a fitment issue or a gearing issue? I was actually thinking about going to a 20560R15 or a 20565R15 on my conversion.

I hope it performs better than the Servicar! Memories of having ridden a Servicar many moons ago almost kept me from even test riding a modern trike!

LOL! I do believe that Harley has advanced just a little bit suspension-wise and from the 45c.i. side valve flathead used on the Servicar.

I agree and we will have to wait another year to see if there is any validity to the rumor but it just does not sound plausible and I’m betting it’s just more wishful BS!

Now after saying that; the introduction of the Street-Glide does NOT automatically insure a continuation of the TG line after 2010. Manufactures plan, design and fund several years in advance of the model year and I’m willing to bet that the 2010 Street-Glide was on the drawing board shortly after the ’09 Tri-Glide was project was completed. But I’m also still willing to bet that rumor was wishful BS!

Stay Safe Out There!!!!

I think you're right Jim. We currently have 3 deposits on 2010 T Glides. Comming back from ATVing in CO a week ago I saw 3 T Glides on I-70. Our dealership has even bought new T Glides from other dealers for customers. I think HD has a winner here, and I seriously doubt if they will discontinue it very soon.

Hi Wolfshead1. A big welcome to you from the admin staff . We're glad you found us too! Look around in here and ask a lot of questions. You'll find there are a number of good options to help you out, and lots of experienced trikers on here with answers to help you.

Wolfshead Hi again, Consider triking the Ultra if it is in good shape. I triked my 07 RG and love it. That way you are comfortable with your bike because you all ready know it. It just looks different and doesn't lean or fall over.

Big motorcycles and trikes are expensive toys that cannot be justified rationally.

[Charlie D]

If you have to justify BIG MOTORCYCLES & OR BIG TRIKES rationally or otherwise then you need to get another hobby or? After 50 plus years of H .D. I am enjoying the Hell out of my New 2009 Black Cherry Stallion. I hear that there is a new color being introduced in Sturgis. ORANGE.. I heard that it is already sold.. Charlie D.

[oleman69]

My question is why did they design the tg after the servicar in the first place?

[Ozarkryder]

I don't think the MoFoCo's trikes were directly styled after the Servicecar, it is more that anything Harley makes with 2 wheels in the back and a squarish box between them (especially without the tourpack, ala the Street Glide Trike) will be compared to the Servicar.

[Gorilla]

They just followed what was on the market all ready in the conversion kits.

Hello,
The Orange stallion was at the stallion dealer in Henderson,NV. last week,before going to Sturgis and everyone made positive comments. However,discerning stallion buyers generally settle for the BLACK CHERRY.
