Three hour ride to Gila Bend, Gillespie Dam and back home.
I got my new Freedom Shields 10" touring width windshield in today. I installed it and went for a short ride. I came back home, peeled the plastic off and rode for 2 hours to unwind and relax. Yeah, John ain't getting this shield back. It is so much warmer behind it than the Cee Bailey that came on it. I can hear the radio much better too. I did notice now just how much wind comes up from the my lowers though, although it was pretty windy today.
I'm deciding whether to ride tomorrow and Saturday or go ahead and take it to the shop to get the mechanical reverse installed.
Edit: Wouldn't let me upload the pic for some reason.

2019 Tri-Glide.......
Sherman is currently getting KhromeWerks 2+2 Narrows installed. Also having a MT mechanical reverse installed. Last week I installed the mounting bracket for a backrest. I have a new pair of driving lights in the garage. I am looking at installing the oil filter relocator. Should do it for this winter.
I’ll be picking it up tomorrow. Reverse installed, full fluid and filter change and 25k service. It’s ready to roll for clearer weather. $685 for everything, taxes included. Gotta love Indy shops.

No. I purchased it on my own for about $1300 with a promo. That only includes all labor, fluids and filter. The install labor was $450, fluid change was $175 including all oils and then tax. 25k Service and inspection was included with the rest of the work. They are good about combining work when able to reduce costs to the customer.

She's back home. Left the house at 10 and got there about 11. Went over everything about the mechanical reverse and headed out. Got home about 4 this evening. I really needed that. It was only 32 degrees, a heat wave for sure.
My wife took some pics while I was working with the reverse.
Now I just need the rain, sleet and snow to get done so I can ride some more.

Installed the DK Customs floorboard extensions on Saturday. I think I'm really going to like them. Those factory bolts were on T I G H T though. Went out again Sunday to test those floorboards again and hold the new handlebars. They're doing fine. I probably need to check again tonight.
I told Mrs. that we'll be needing a rear bumper/trunk guard real soon. She scolded me a bit for buying too many accessories then said she thought it would look nice if our names were painted on the back. Uh huh....
Rode it in the snow. This is the first snow since I got the '19 and wanted to test out the Traction Control.
It is useless in the snow. The ABS was good though.

Kevin and Dwayne just got in my back pocket. I just ordered the CWD, 1.5" tank lift w/ deluxe option and some Heim joints for my shift linkage. It will give some more work to do during this cold, snowy weather. My dealer already doesn't recognize this Trike. Lol. Later will come the oil filter relocation kit with the oil cooler. I can't wait to be finished with what i want to do.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Carefully move the snow blower around the garage so as not to hit the Trike so i could clear todays snow off the driveway.....
