Very true
Going to replace my OEM bars with some 10" Chubby's (received in mail today). Ordered a tank lift premier from Dennis (should be here Friday)......so this weekend is going to be a busy one.

Rode it. Spring is here, so I took a video of the ride to the shop and back.
When I looked at the video tonight I was reminded I had left the microphone underneath the passenger seat....right above the rear pulley.
There are noises down there that we don't normally hear while riding.
Gotta pull the backrest and seat and dig that out of there and re-route it to it's normal place...at the back, top of the trunk.

I just finished installing some DK floor board extenders. The weather here sucks right now so I haven't been able to ride it yet, but just sitting on it the difference is awesome!

Went to the dealership today and picked up a bunch of supplies. Trunk, Tour-Pak and passenger seat are full...still have room on the TP rack. lol
Took the long way home and then changed the oil, cleaned the oil filter and changed primary and trans fluid.
Took a sample of the oil for Blackstone.
Replaced engine oil with Brad Penn, the "Green" oil. I'm very interested to see how it works, quite a few folks have spoken very highly of it to me.

Got in about 200 miles to meet up with our chapter drill team, then ride for lunch then home. The new cooler and filter relo kit got a lot of positive comments today. Wouldn't be surprised if Kevin gets a few orders out of this!Installed the DK remote filter relocation kit and the Jagg cooler last night... was due for my 35K oil change so 2 or 3 birds with one stone.

Everything performed flawlessly... I am a happy guy!

Change breather fitting
Week ago I added external breather system (DK) to old shiney, position needed for rear breather fitting seemed ugly to me sooo...

I like what you did. We should look at including one of those for the TBW bikes!

Glad to see you got your shakedown ride in. Thanks for the good words!
I know what you mean about the comments. Yesterday when I was at the dealer I had 3 different guys come up to me asking what "that thing" under the passenger floorboard was.
When I told them, no more mess when you change your oil filter, they all lit up!

Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today
stage 1 upgrade, Rinehart 4" pipes, fuel and a 182 mile round trip cruise to Grand Coulee
Installed Vance & Hines Slip-ons and SE Air cleaner. Ready to program the Bike now!
Got the 10" Chubby's installed and despite everybody's claims of not having to change out any cables, had to order a new +4 clutch cable. I had to run my current cable outside the fairing to give it enough slack to adjust and not be tight as a banjo string. New Barnett cable should be in Monday. Was kinda upset on having to run the cable out and just yanked the cable out. Now I've got to remember how it was routed thru the inner fairing and radio mounting bracket. Should have take some pics I guess. Maybe the assembly manual has a illustration.
Anyway, that's next week. This weekend I'm installing the tank lifts I received from Dennis.
Dang, it's always something !!!! Ha !!

OK, not today, but last week; Stage 1, Rinhart Xtreme true duals, and a DK Comfort Lift kit, then rode 500 miles over the weekend.
I must say that the DK Comfort Lift should come as standard equipment on the Tri Glide. Handling is better, I don't scrape my pipes when pulling out of driveways, and the seating is just...nicer. We stopped for gas after 35 miles and my wife said that she couldn't tell a difference. 150 miles later she said that she could definitely tell a difference in her comfort.

"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
- Added led turn signals in front, luggage rack, leather fender guards, inside trunk lights, adjusted back gear shift down a notch as it felt a little too high for my comfort. Ordered more led lighting for outer edges of trunk.
Dropped it back off at the dealership for them to fix the stuff they did not fix last time it was there for warranty work.
(front brake lever does not activate brake lights, parking brake mechanism still broken, voltage regulator is acting like it's failing)
I conveyed, as politely as possible, they had to do the work correctly this time, as I do not have time to keep bringing it back for them to do the same thing over and over again.

Got my Chubby's installed but despite everything I was told and read I'm going to have to put a +4 clutch cable in. Tried everything possible but installing the stock cable left it stretched tighter than a "g" string on a banjo. Had to run the cable outside the fairing. Started out second guessing myself on my first ride with them but now that I've ridden them for a week I love 'em. Got my +4 in the mail so this weekend I've got a project...
