2014 Tri-Glide Thread

[Ga Blue Knight]

One big difference is that the CB is now an extra add on. Saw one at the dealer today looks pretty good. The new fairing could be a big improvement for us Southerners during the summer. I definitely like the better brakes and the LEDs but will pass on the radio and the cooling. I removed the CAT on my '13 and did a stage 1 remap and air filter. The oil temps now run between 235-250 with 90 degrees temps and moderate traffic. I also like CDs over MP3 players.

bigbob,
I didn't think they used lawn mowers that far north, only snowmobiles .
Just joking .

Most of our snowmobiles are liquid cooled

Well . . . . . . no EVERYTHING. The H-D video still doesn't answer the question "General Discussion > Mounting a Trike" The rider and passenger "magically" mount and dis-mount

You will have to refer to our member on here..American Badass... for instructions on how to mount a Trike. He is the expert!!!

I believe it would be more proper to say "liquid cooled", with similar product used in my V-Rod!! Not water!,

Your "coolant" better be at least 50% water. Closer to 60% total.

IMHO I don't really care what the liquid is as long as it cools the motor.

They tried using beer but it created too much foam.

That's just great! Now I can't put my extended heel shifter on because the parking brake is right below it.
Why did they have to put the brake on the opposite side in the first place. Boo on H-D.
I think H-D made a HUGE MISTAKE in the ugly color choices this year. Blue is OK, but the dark red?? What the hell were they thinking of? Almost everyone I've talked to loved the bright Sunglow Red on the 2012.

Now if we can narrow all the threads on the 2014's to just one, that would be a great time saver. I wouldn't have to go to 4 or 5 different 2014 threads.

I do like the location of that parking brake. Notice no mention of new cooling stuff. Them calling it the HD Trike instead of TriGlide probably means they are about to Trademark the word "Trike", just like what they did with Hog. Then nobody else can use it. Remember, you read it here first.

Way too many separate 2014 Tri Glide threads, so they have been merged. Let's keep the 2014 Tri Glide related posts in this thread.

I can stand the heat with the lowers on to protect my lower legs from debris.

And what if road debris pokes a hole in one of the radiators, wont it dump 1.2 quarts of hot oil/water on your leg being that your legs are right behind the radiators, may never happen,..... It would only take one time.

[Big Red]

You all keep saying water pump that is a oil pump there is no water on this trike. I seen the trike and was told by the service manger It holds 1.2Qt of oil that is pumped up to the heads for cooling it And tell some of you hear it from your Harley store that it has no water

It may be hard to believe but at times the Service Managers do not know what they are talking about.

[dano309]

still would like independent suspension over the straight axle.........guess i'll just trade my 2010 ultra glide for a water cooled 2014 goldwing and trike it (motor trike conversion)........yep, that's what i am gonna do....lol

[bobknife]

They are oil cooled heads the lowers are oil cooling vents but what about the cat. This is where all the heat issues are after $3500 and several upgrades my runs a lot cooler stage one tuner, vance and heinz true tuned duel header, se air cleaner ,255 cams, trudule harley davidson down slash pipes and dyno mine stays cool even on hot days. It dyno at 76 hp and 104 ft lbs of tork. the cat is the source of the heat problem if the 14s still have the cat I bet they still run hot just my 2 cents worth

[mcdonaldroadcapt]

Went to look at new 2014 bikes today. Could take it or leave it since my 110 engine is finally tuned to run at a acceptable temperature. Just waiting for the Screaming Eagle trike to come along and I may make the move. It has to be soon as many trikes as the MOCO is selling.

Thanks Bazooka for bringing all the 2014 threads into one. Makes life easier.
