did all the services to put away for winter.. be ready to go come spring
2020 TriGlide Tahitian Teal aka (Hawaiian Hussy). Avon frt & Comfortred rear tires. ProAction frt & rear susp. RZ seat. DK floorboard extension & rear axle retainer kit with EBS, HD pull -back bars. Custom Dynamics front turn signals & Vent grill. All ,HD "Edge Cut " accessories.
Took my second ride and put thirty miles on. I’m feeling more comfortable on 3 wheels.
Just an update: I got mine back after the 50K service on Wednesday afternoon. After talking with the techs at Progressive, for the Assymetric Mono Cartridge FST front suspension, one fork will be longer than the other when off of the trike by about 1/4". Mine was more than that because they did find the spacers were not correct. (This is what Dewayne at DK suggested may be the issue when I called) One side had too many in it. It does ride an handle differently now (better) and turns better. I guess the steering head bearing did need adjusted/replaced. They did replace it while they were in there because why not when you're that deep in it. I do wish I had thought about it and had chrome forks installed. It would've only cost me the price of the forks doing it with the service. I didn't think about it until I picked it up. Otherwise, all is right with the world and it's ready for another 50k miles at least.
2016 Tri Glide, More DK than HD. Just shut up and ride.
Got in 18 miles two up after work but it was a little cold. I was underdressed. Got the air shocks holding air, I think the valve core had been sticking open. I understand everyone dislikes them but they are infinitely better when aired up lol. I intentionally didn’t say anything to SWMBO and she commented how much better the ride was today. Hooray! She noticed.
Well, it Michigan and getting cold here. We had a few great day, so I took a a short ride.
Gassed her up, put stabilizer in the tank, washed her -let her dry and then put the cover on.
14" nextgen shocks installed
Just finished installing Hertz, SP4.900 amplifier and four Hertz 165 NEO speakers. All were on sale at www.Volunteeraudio.com They do a great job in setting everything up so it is 'plug and play'. Now I just need a test ride to check out the new sound.😁😁😁
Took a nice 75 cool ride Saturday with Mrs Notgrownup. Went to the grocery store and it was really nice to have all the space to carry what we needed back home.
Got a nice breakfast run in yesterday, 112 miles and the weather was beautiful, sunny and 80.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
Sent my 21’ TriGlide into winter hibernation at my local dealer… salty roads are in the forecast for Sunday, so my final 2023 total ended up at a little over 18k for the season.
Winter plans include having a set of DK’s rear axle bearing retainer plates w/new bearings installed, along with a 1” tank lift (Deluxe), brake pads replaced, and having my Panhard Rod replaced under warranty (replacing the stock Heim joints with a set of heavy duty ones that hopefully will last a bit longer.).
I’m already going nuts waiting for the salt to be washed away and spring to arrive!!
We got a short breakfast ride in on Saturday, only about 70 miles, then the rain came again on the weekend. It was 80 and sunny on Saturday, now the furnace is on and 42 out, crazy weather down here.

So I just purchased a hold over 2021 Venom Green Tri Glide Ultra and have added many parts and upgrades.
I started with a rear-end lift kit and a new Legend Spring set to replace those OEM air struts. I then went to adding a rear bumper to protect the body and then went on to the Air Pac with brake light, front and rear drink holders, chrome speaker trims, exhaust shoe protector, passenger, and driver highway pegs and lift, and extended passenger footplates extensions. Then duel passing mirrors, DK LED brake lights, front turn signals, fairing turn signals, and riding lights. Replaced the shifting rod with the HD aluminum trimmed bar, and new HD high-flow Screaming Eagle air intake.
Now I am adding the Reinhart 4" Slip-Ons with the DTK Baffles, and Dakota Digital MLX Series 4-Gauge Kit. Finally, I just bought the V&H FP4 Autotuner to get it all straight. So I am not sure just whats next other than a BIG ROADTRIP!
I had forgot to mention a new tinted windshield with HD chrome trim, lower front carry pockes, leather protective fender bras, and HD grips. Lastly a bluetooth wireless phone connector for my stereo.
