What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[FuzzyWuzHe]

Bored silly with all this rain , So i broke down and cleaned and waxed the Tri-Glide...

I used the genuine Honda spray cleaner and wax that i had left over from when i had Hondas ....2008?...It was setting deep in a dark back corner of my garage, The can was almost dead and had an enlarge prostrate cause the cleaner just dibbled out, But it did a great job....But i'm now worried by using a Honda wax on a Harley will my warrantee be null and void ........

Just cleaning it does

Put the Chrome & Rubber Small Brake Pad on my parking brake lever.

Geez it only took Harley about three months to get the thing to the dealer. The backorder status just kept getting further and further stretched out. Glad it wasn't something 'important' but it does look better now that it matches my grips and brake pedal.

My indy orderd a new fuel gauge for the Wife’s trike...... going on 4 months now, claims its

HD shipping issue + THE CHINEESE CRUD.......ohhhhh for the OLD DAYS!

So the home health care therapist came this morning ... she was there to evaluate and work with mom on her range of motion on her finger and her back (from surgery) as well as maybe help with vertigo. The nurse pulled me aside and said if you need to "getaway" for a bit, we'll be two hours minimum.

I dressed quick in warmer clothes and Kira and I took off on the trike. We did about 80 miles. Kind of an overcast day and high forties for the temp.

I am totally impressed with the Dunlop American Elite Touring I put on the front. It seems to be a more comfortable ride. Maybe softer sidewall or just because I'm running 36# instead of the 42# in the Avon AV-91.

Felt good to be back on her again. When we got home, I put the new hitch covers on the trike. I stopped and got a 2" long bolt, SS, to go through the cover and the hitch, just so it wouldn't rattle out.

That's good to hear about the American Elite. Did you put a front tire on it or a rear tire mounted backwards?

I installed a new Dunlop American Elite MT90B16 front tire on my 2016 TGU about a month ago. I, like others, was not impressed with the Avon front tire I put on the TGU about 2 years ago. It caused a noticeable shake and vibration when I got over 70 and kept getting worse the faster I went. That started about 1000 miles or so after I installed it. I finally got tired of it and ordered the Dunlop after reading several good reviews.

The new Dunlop is much more pleasant. It handles good and is a much "smoother" ride. I told the tire installer to not balance the new tire. I have chrome rims and have used dyna beads for years. I installed 2 OZ of Dyna Beads through the valve stem (took about 2 minutes) and it is smooth and quiet all the way up to 95MPH. BTW, 95 is all the top end I can get on my TGU, and most of that comes from 5th gear.

However, I don't really care about top end. The trike, with Power Vision and Target Tune tuning runs great. I very seldom get over 70 unless passing on the interstate. 90% of my riding is county roads and non interstate highways. I am very pleased with the new Dunlop and I am running 38 for tire pressure.

BTW, the shake from the Avon was not a violent shake. but it was very noticeable and caused some concern.

I just went with the front ... I had the dealer (Honda) when installed it, put 2 oz of dyna beads in while installing it. Loving it so far.

Was ready for "no experimenting" with trying to take care of Mom, just want to be able to hop on and ride ... ... so, just went with the front and dyna beads ... I like the no weight look and the really smooth ride.

Did a quick 135 mile ride to South of the Ten mile river To do a shortened annual meeting....The last 15 miles were in heavy hail and rain, And then the first 15 miles returning home were also in hail and rain...The Trike survived ' I survived... Proving that God protects Drunks and the Incurable insane....

[Fearless]

Aquatic AV something or other came today. New dash and front brake master cylinder cover will be here soon. Let the parts begin. Travel safe Fred

Hey Robert.... I'm Paul, a "Newbie" to the Trike community. Did you have your kw 2+2's installed at the dealer or did you do the work?? How did you measure what size bars you needed?? Thanks..

[hdwindjammer2014]

What HD dealer did you go to? I was born & raised in Elyria & whenever I ride back home I always go to Lake Erie HD for oil & filter change. They're the old Elyria HD that used to be on Cleveland st.

Hey Bob...not sure if you knew but, Lake Erie HD is NO LONGER. they closed up early this yr.. After George died and the son took over the dealership went to hell...

To get a rough idea sit on the trike close your eyes stretch out your hands Without leaning forward like you were holding the bars and if it feels comfortable that will give you a starting point/idea....
