What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[DakotaTG]

I just got done installing the new tour-pak relocation kit from DK Customs on my new 2016 Jade Green and Black TG. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The kit has quality written all over it just like the rest of DK Customs parts. I had a couple friends up to help me and it took about 45 minutes to complete. After we installed the kit at the 1 inch location we sat it back down on the trunk and put one nut on the front bracket mount on each side of the tour-pak. I had the wife come out and sit in the seat to see how she liked it. She liked it but did say another inch back would be even better. So I took the nuts off the front bracket mounts on each side and we relocated the kit to the 2 inch location. We did the install back on the trunk and the wife tried it again and said that's just right. So I finished installing the other nuts and tightening them down. Now it's good to go for us. Only thing I would say is if you go more than 2 inches back you will need to add some type of pad between the seat and the pad on the tour-pak as there is a definite space and your passenger may be sitting without full support on their posterior.

My wife and I went for a ride I needed to get some miles on. I have appt. for the 1K check up next week and the weather hadn't been cooperating. We stopped at Doc's Harley If any of you are coming to Wisconsin and want to see a very unique place this is it. This is a very creative guy and sells Harley's besides. Gave the Tri a good cleaning when we got back. www.docshd.com

Didn't think I would ever get the tri glide back on the road, but I did. Relocated the oil filter, added the oil cooler, changed out the header for a catt less header and installed a 1" floorboard extensions. It was not that difficult to make the mods, I just had way too many things happening that slowed things down. People think that since I am retired that I have nothing to do so they are always wanting me to tag along with them.

I am impressed with how the heat feels off the pipes, much cooler and I am also impressed with the difference in the performance due to the catt less header. Jim

Added billet windshield trim H-D 61300275, mounted second kury perch mount drink holder to left side switch cluster, installed the old style whip antenna .......... Way better reception out in the boonies than that poor excuse for a fishing pole that comes from the factory.

Installed the smoked LED tour pack lights that came from Broadtracker HD yesterday. They match the smoked lay down lights from Brightasslights nicely.

Installed my Street Cannon's .......... Excellent sound on a tri glide. Also installed a Ness Big Sucker with black backing plate.

My wife tends to rest her hands and hang on to the rails along side the seat, but didn't like just the chromed steel rail. I didn't like the looks of the covers that HD has so I put some padding on and wrapped these with leather. It's certainly not perfect but she likes them. When the wife is happy everyone's happy.

That's pretty cool - I am assuming that the larger size does not hit her on the back of the legs?

Removed the passenger hand rail. Got tired of catching my boot on it. Did I mention the passenger floor boards came off too. Added the H-D Circulator rider seat pad and rider backrest pad. Going to a chrome luggage rack. The black one just doesn't cut it for me. And, ordered the Custom Dynamics Gen2 brake light strobe module that is p-n-p.

Can you take a video of the Brake light strobe once they are installed? I saw a similar system while riding and it almost looked like the lights didn't know whether to sh&t or go blind when the brake and turn signals were used. That said....it got my attention even tho I had idea what the bike was gonna do! lol
Thanks - jc

There is a fantastic vid on CD's web site that shows them in action. Watching it would beat what I could post

Bought a Cycle Shade from the new local distributor, and then on the way home got our first experience with ducking under a cover as quickly as possible and putting on the rain gear, which of course about the time we finally got it all on, the rain mostly stopped. But it was good practice and we learned how to streamline the process for next time.
