What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[KJB]

I went over the 1,000 mile mark yesterday. I picked my Trike up on October 16th and was on a mission to get the 1,000 mile check before I put it away for the winter. It goes in today for the check, then a good cleaning and finally into storage by this weekend. The 1,000 miles were very enjoyable even though I probably rode in temperatures I won't normally be riding in.

I've rode at 0, have nothing to prove other than I have better things to do than deal with road chemicals and cleaning. It's more important to take that first ride with my wife anyway.
I'll take 6 wheels 8 miles to work instead of 3 and that same 6 that will haul it 1300 miles to Sturgis too.

Yeah I wasnt trying to rag on those who didnt, Was only trying to prove to me that its worth some pain in morning for a wonderful ride home,,

Got pictures posted to Trike Talk...only took a week to figure it out....

Picked up my TG from the Dealership today.

Between the OEM warranty and the ESP, I have had close to $10,000 work done and paid $200 in deductible.

I wish none of the warranty work ever had to be done, but am certainly happy for the warranty.

Thanks for the post. Glad now that I opted for the ESP. Was concerned that I had wasted some good money but you message convinced me that I made the right decision.

Thanks ............

Just added Stage 4 kit.. Love it

Finally someone pulled the trigger. I have been waiting . How are your numbers? Did you sacrifice very much low end and how's the mid range?
I have 10k on mine but, definitely ready to pick up some more power.

I seem to remember talk about leaving it stock? Hard to do isn't it JJ?

Well, as with most projects you start off all gung-ho and after a few WTF's you back up and wonder what got into you to start something like this. Anyway, I have a 2015 TG so I thought I'd add the bumper and rack on top of the tour pack. Sounds simple right? Well after removing the 4 bolts inside of the truck that have to be replaced I found that the factory had cross-threaded one of them so that the new 3" bolt would not go through the hole as intended. Had to re-tap the hole (5/16" x 18 BTW) and then finished that up. Installed the rack after drilling the 4 holes in the lid. Nervous time for sure. Don't want to screw up the paint. Got the rack on and ran the wires through for the trim light and waited 3 days for the harness to get in. Picked up the harness and found that you have to remove the entire tour-pack to get at the bolts under it to remove them so you can get the metal plate out of the bottom of the tour-pack. Brilliant idea HD. Finally got that done with the help of the wife. I like the fact that in the instructions for the wiring it says to consult the service manual but not in stock at the dealer yet. Should be in in ten days. Great! Anyway, job done and time for a beer even though it's only 10am. Rining out so no ride for now. Going on a ride to an assisted living quarters for vets tomorrow to celebrate Veteran's Day. Sort of a mini parade for the residents there. Hope all of you have a great one and remember those that went before us.

Should have seen if you could have the dealer zerox the pages from a 2014 manual that you need. Heck I could even do that for you. Let me know what you need.
I doubt there were any changes.

Thanks GaryD but I figured it out. I have a set of manuals for 2015 on order and should have them shortly. At least before I take on any more projects but really appreciate the offer.

I put my winter windshield on, changed out my highway pegs, put the soft lowers on.

Then went for a 80 mile putt with Mary.

Installed some Custom One-Off Slip-ons on the TG today. Started it up and it sounded good. Did not ride it...too busy.


Tomorrow I will be riding it to the shop in the high 20's*. Brrrrr.


Will see how they sound and perform at speed and under a load.

Had the Radstad wind screen installed yesterday, a fine investment to my 2005 GW/Road Smith. Best thing since sliced bread.

[Hhardrockminer]

Traded my 2013 TG for a 2015 TG, haven't put any miles on the new one but if I'm not working I will tomorrow.

Ride safe and FREE.

You will be much happier with the 15...

Installed a 10" medium smoked Long Ride Shield this past Friday. As my next project, I will be installing the DK Comfort Lift Kit that I just won from the DK Custom Products. Thank You Kevin.

[WindyOne]

Installed my rider backrest today. I had to put 5 flat washers under either side of the front bracket to make it work but it is installed and feels great. I haven't had a chance to take it for a test ride yet. The seat makes me sit up straight now. The handlebars feel a bit closer now so I will see how ride goes.

1K service. Stage 1 upgrade with Rinehart slip on mufflers. Sure opened up the tri glide. Tomorrow will install the DK Custom comfort lift kit and gas tank lift. I am liking this trike more and more every day. Jim

Dropped mine off to be serviced and the updates done, also flashing the passing lights. Just a note on updates...I had read that there was an ecm update for our twin cooled. Service guy let me look with him as he researched it on h-dnet.. according to the HD dealer net, there is no ecm update, Just wish I was riding.

You may be thinking of the recent 1.18.2 Boom Box Software update.
