What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[DOKK]

Thanks for the tip about AN and PTFE. Mine also blew a lot of oil on the initial ride from the filter mount. Still trying to resolve that.

I got all the parts from Summit Racing. Haven't had a single drip since. I actually saw in the pictures on DK's website where someone else did the same thing so it just made sense.

What size AN fittings did you use? Also are the DK adapter fittings pipe thread? I'm going to do this so no more leak worries.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes sir. You're welcome. The only issue I am still working out is adding the oil cooler but I may end up tig welding -AN fittings on it. Having a 30 year career in industrial maintenance leads me to overkill sometimes but immensely increases longevity and reliability.

How do you like the Nexgen shocks?

Very happy with the Nexgen shocks, much improved ride and the harshness of bumps is gone.

Had the compensator changed over the weekend. If it wasn't under an ESP, which expires next week, I would have changed it myself. Parts were $273. for the compensator and $105 for the spring. (?) Why wouldn't the spring come with the unit? Anyway, with misc. gaskets and taxes...can't forget taxes... and labor the total would have been $744.05.

I also had the brake recall done as long as it was in the shop.

Other than the water pump, this has been the only issue I have had. Can't complain.

I've been wrenching on my 18 TG for the past 3 days and one more to finish up. Due to a bone head move that I don't wish to discuss, I had to remove the rear head. Those coolant lines atop the heads are a real PITA. While I was at it I replaced the lifters with Feuling ones. Dealer reused the stock lifters when they install the SE stage 2 cam 16K miles ago. Started hearing weird noises, so why not. Anyway, hope to be riding tomorrow afternoon.

Just installed a set of Cobra 909's on my trike. There not Rinehart's, but for the price, they sound pretty good to me.

Come on Don, tell us about the bonehead move.

I told everyone about when I was removing the inner (M8) cam bearing and it came out in pieces, had to split the cases, no debris inside debacle....

Stuff happens.

Took the stock shocks out of my 21 and installed my 14” Pro Action with the DK Lift kit. Installed my trailer hitch, CB unit and switch pack with the PTT button. Also installed Hogworkz LED spots instead of the factory ones.

A real rookie move on my part. Checking for TDC with a wooden chop stick. It did not all come back out.* I knew better but did it anyway. A real brain fart. All good now though.

You are not the first, nor last to to that. I did it (but with a #2 pencil) on my 95 Road king while changing cams and tensioners. Not to mention when mice filled my Rinehart mufflers with deer corn from then feeder. No damage, except that it scared the sh-t out me when I cranked it up and sand blasted the garage wall with deer corn!
