2014 Tri-Glide Thread

[trikermutha]

I can't find the pics

look at the trike specs and pictures..

[Rollin Thunder]

I see a lot of changes on the New one's. I like what I see so far. Might not like the price. But the Bike looks pretty good

[FLTR2008TRIKE]

I do not believe they are water cooled..They have funneled air to the top heads..

This is the top of the line. 103 cubic inches of air and precision cooled Harley-Davidson

Sorry but there is a water pump on it, a chrome water pump cover listed is >>

Triglides are water cooled. They have listed a chrome cover for the water pump that is located where a oil cooler use to be located >> GMA14_Composite_MidRes

I really like the new infotainment system. That, combined with the new fairing design, and water-cooling sure makes me think about trading up. It's not a screamin' eagle trike, but it's not priced like one either.

What cam did they change to??

[Mr.Wizard]

No telling what cam is in these motors... my bet it is the same old grind. You will also notice in the online shots that the oil cooler is gone, tour pak is a mini now. 10:01 compression motor now as well as they rated the torque over 100 at the crank for this new year.

The new digital radio is said to have bluetooth, GPS Navigation and ABS link (what ever that means) Speedo and Tach are larger, LED lights and a newly redesigned outer fairing with a comfort air scoop that the rider can control to put air in the cockpit. There's more but would take forever to post. You guys will see them soon enough.



Here is a shot of what is behind the glove box front door, no longer a glove box though.




Here you can see the metal water header on the top of the throttle body. All the water lines seem to have a quick disconnect. Also notice they put a water shield over the throttle body connector to the left.

I wonder where the overflow will go from that reservoir? Riders leg? OUCH.

[Mr.Wizard]

The new Jack Daniels storage reservoir.

[skuuter]

I'm "assuming" water cooled heads, not the cylinders, as per a patent that Harley Davidson applied for back in 2012.....?????...

[Papa Zook]

Looks like its aimed at cooling the exhaust ports. I know they state that the compression ratio has been bumped up and they have a new cam designed for low end torque. Think they could have been listening to folks on this forum all these years??

[Bill Reber]

Going to water cooled is a giant step up for the TG

[Papa Zook]

Does it still have the catalytic converters?

Water cooled, I didn't see that where did they list it?

[Mr.Wizard]

OH.... What parking Brake?

What happened to the huge reverse switches on the handlebars?

See the new tour pak lock and they put the upgraded hinges on?

Nice new trunk unlock mechanism.

[GoNoGo]

6% gain in horsepower with at a 15% RPM increase without gearing change.

I interpret this to mean the rider can wind the motor out more in 4th or 5th having more usable torque for passing or hill climbs?

[skuuter]

This is shaping up like Harley Davidson really has been reading here.....

[Trent]

All of you guys drooling over trading yours in better wait and give them a coupla years to get the bugs figured out. I suspect there will be a lot of them!!!

Definitely agree with that. Funny how the pics and write-ups kinda dodge the fact of any kind of water-cooling. They are afraid do come out and flat say it's water-cooled for fear of scaring off potential buyers. I think it's a good concept though. The beast needed cooled-down!

No they see the Indian in the rearview mirror!

Twin-Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103® Engine

If you started in 1909 with the very first Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine and worked your way up through every engine, every innovation, every improvement, every ride, every durability test in all those years and countless miles since, you arrive at the Twin Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103™ engine. This is the top of the line. 103 cubic inches of air and precision cooled Harley-Davidson® power. Twin cooling cools the heads around the exhaust ports to deliver at or near peak performance under all operating conditions and temperatures. Higher compression ratio increases efficiency and horsepower. There’s a new airbox for increased airflow and a new cam to optimize low-end torque. It’s got the fastest 60 to 80 mph 5th gear roll on in the history of Harley-Davidson. Which means it’s got the most passing power in the history of Harley-Davidson. On top of all that, it puts less heat on the rider and passenger on scorching days and in stop and go traffic.
