Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?
Looked at it. Looked outside at the freezing rain coming down in the 22f temp.
TG would have handled it fine, my bones just did not want to get cold.
Instead, I tested out some "miracle cleaner" - Hogswipe - on the rear wheels. It made no noticeable improvement.

Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?
went out to the garage with my helmet at the ready.
Mr Tri Glide said " Oh no you're not.
went back into the house and moped.

Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?
what i did today was put on my long sleeve shirt and took the wife out for a ride to a diner we enjoy going to about 40 miles away. of course we live in Florida so the temperature was 72 degrees and rising and by the time we returned it was 78 degrees. i know most of you must like where you live but after 52 years in N.Y. i got smart and moved to Florida 17 years ago and now wished i did it a long time before i did.
Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?
After 10 days in Arizona with the trike back in California, I rode her to breakfast this morning. It was 46* and a bit breezy. Thank heaven for Carharrts. 3 of my idiot, retired old bum biker buddies rode their bikes also. Guess we are just too stupid to drive the car.

Why 3 wheels?
because 2 isn't enough and 4 is too many

Dropped the Tri-Glide at the Dealership today for more ESP work.
New stator for sure, and probably a new battery.
Will be picking it up tomorrow or Sunday.

Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?
I thought about putting the studded snow tires on it and digging out the 4 mile long extension cord to plug in the electric heater and taking a ride down to the local pub for a cold beer but alas at 10 degrees that would still be a little much.
Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?
Yeah with traffic & all that extension cord would be in the way ! You are going to have to go solar with that heater !I thought about putting the studded snow tires on it and digging out the 4 mile long extension cord to plug in the electric heater and taking a ride down to the local pub for a cold beer but alas at 10 degrees that would still be a little much.

Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?
Picked up my TG from the Dealership today.
New Stator
New SE Compensator
Battery did not need replacing. I was sure it was the battery....but it must have just been a big coincidence that the stator went out immediately after the warranty replacement of the reverse motor.
Little bit over $1000.00 parts/labor
I paid $50 deductible on the ESP warranty.
Between the OEM warranty and the ESP, I have had close to $10,000 work done and paid $200 in deductible.
I wish none of the warranty work ever had to be done, but am certainly happy for the warranty.
Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?
This AM:
Put on the Road Zepplin seat. After dropping that dang screw for the seat seven times, put on the Kuryakyn 3/4" floorboard extensions, leaving some knuckle blood on them, and floor! Then the Phase 7 LED headlight and passing lamps.
Tried taking pics, but the camera doesn't work well in 17*F.
Also put together the Bushtec trailer stand, one of the wheels came broken in half, calling Monday for a replacement wheel, I hope!
Other than above, nothing else.
Later in week, warmer weather, 30's, plan on putting on LED turn signals, passing lamp highbeam bypass, rear HD tail lights.
Re: What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?
Rode her down to the shop, picked up a bunch of Christmas boxes. Trunk was full, Tour-Pak was full and passenger seat had a box too big for the TP rack strapped on it. Rode up to Memphis and delivered them to some of our local suppliers. Took the long route home. Perfect day at 60* and sunny for riding around dropping off gifts.
