2021 CVO TriGlide - Sunset Orange & Black
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!
CB install
I installed the CB module and Switch pack on my 2022 Tri-Glide. Bought a Module on Facebook Market. $150.00. Bought the switch pack from Harley. $191.00. Had a friend that had a spare CB antenna. Free. Had the dealer do a "Flash" down load. $75.00. PS: The module was from a 2015 Street-Glide CVO. Worked like a champ.

What did I do new?
Added passenger arm rest & heel shifter
DK cooling deflection wings are on, that was easy, forks are off and draining, gonna pick up some 10wt fork oil today and reassemble the front end tonight with the Intiminators… supposed to be nice Saturday so a ride is in order. Pictures are sideways because I was laying down on the job.

Heated Hand Grips
I've been riding in a bunch of cool weather, 35º - 45º almost everyday this week. I broke down and had heated HD Kahuna Back grips put on. They replaced my HD Kahuna un-heated grips that were on it when I bought it last year. Saturday's American Legion Rider's ride is supposed to be around 36º when we start
Hey Devildog
What year is that, and is that a Sundowner seat ??? I just bought a 2017 with 5100 miles on it ( my 1st 3 wheeler and mannnnnn is it spooky turning and on unlevel road right now )...Anyhow, the dealer ordered me a sundowner with the backrest kit, and mine ( I think ) is gonna look a whole lot like urs. I'll be putting an EGA emblem on the trunk, but otherwise....ha ha ha.....Just checking...Semper Fi and God bless, Marty in Texas

Front end seems much better with the DK Rico’s Intiminators, dive is way more compliant,, going on a ride with Mrs Notgrownup in a minute.

Came back from a 75-100 mile ride and I can tell a little difference on country roads. It’s better not a jarring. I like it and it’s not stiff like the cartridges I put in my 07, they were stiff. This seems to be smooth and more compliant. Easy job.

Good to hear. Just got mine yesterday and hope to get them installed soon. Put a Legend Axeo front cartridge system on m 2020 and while it greatly improved the front end dive I was never all that impressed with the ride. I think they are more performance oriented than comfort. Hoping the intimidators will give me a better ride for a lot less $$$.

Installed my DK NexGen 13" trike shocks with comfort lift. Not too bad a job. Pulled the body which imo opinion makes it much much easier. Plus I like to have access to all the blind threaded holes so I can chase them to clean out the thread locking compound. Ditto with all the screws. Harley must spend $000,000 on thread lock because all the fasteners are saturated with it.
As far as the shocks go they are FANTASTIC. That is all I can say. Instead of riding like an 1850s buckboard it now rides like a 1950s pickup truck . . . which is a HUGE improvement.
Thanks Kevin and Devin. Great product.
Mid Step.
I Installed the "Mid Step" Yesterday. Easier to get on the Trike. I have been using the driver's foot board to get on. I ruined the rubber mounts on the Nostalgia foot boards. Had to glue, cap bolts on the mounts with Gorilla glue. Heh, it works.

Made my own oil catch can. I will say, if you want something made specifically for your bike buy something ready made like from DK Customs, I am a tinkerer and can’t leave well enough alone… lol. Turned out ok but trial and error a bit.

We had a break in the weather in MI so I got in a short 50 mile ride a couple of weeks ago. Then installed the the DK customs oil catch can and 2 new Michelin rear tires as the Dunlop's were 12 years old. Ordered a Avon AV91 Cobra Chrome Trike tire for the front last Saturday It won't be in till Apr 28th. The front tire was 9 yrs old. I think a shiver went up my spine when I checked the tire dates last fall. I my defense I purchased the trike late last fall.
Just my own observation. Is the can fastened to something and not just bouncing around against the push rod tube??
Its just a shame ya need to buy/fabricate something to keep blowby off of your pant leg .

A few more pics of our time in Alabama.
This stream and waterfall is about 100 yard walk from where we were camped.
Out riding some more great roads...
...and stopping at scenic pullouts, like Little River Falls....
...but, it is hard to find roads that I like riding better than ones like these. Curves as far as you can see, with elevation changes thrown into the mix!
