What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

I installed the DK air deflectors today, bad angle on the pic, the tip isn't even close to the lowers, it's at least a 1/4 of an inch away. We haven't had a chance to ride with them yet, it's been pretty wet down here in Florida.

Antennas

Installed the shorty antennas my wife got me for my birthday and then rode to Golden Corral for a birthday dinner. We just beat a tour bus into the restaurant, what a zoo they were. :gah:

Happy Birthday !

I rode mine to Crystal River today. When I got home, my Sheepskin had been delivered :clapping:. I will try it out tomorrow.

Installed my Cooling Deflector Wings from DK Customs that I received yesterday. I did notice that mine are different than pictures of others I've seen on TT. Mine have just a straight angle cut instead of the curved cut by the lowers. Mine are at least 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch away from the lowers. Haven't had a chance to get on the highway to see how they work.

Today we are a bit less than halfway thru our trip, mile-wise, so decided to change the oil and clean the permanent filter.


Pulled into some shade behind Auto-Zone...makes it easier to turn in the old oil. Plus they usually have a special for a drain pan/roll of towels and funnel for less than $7, in case you don't have access to them.

It is SOOOO nice to pull the filter with it being relocated. :)




33%20Changing%20oil%202_zps3emxwuht.jpg









Put the cleaned filter back on and drained the oil from the tank.


34%20Changing%20Oil%203_zpscxlakoqg.jpg







Put the plug back in, dumped the oil into the tank, put the old oil in the empty bottles.


Oil & filter change on the road in less than 30 minutes.

After getting home from the Americade trip, washed off the grunge and checked for any loose stuff. Held up well. Also noticed that she ran a lot smoother using non-ethanol fuel from Stewart's.

Kevin, I noticed from the photos that you use Red Line oil. Do you use 20/50W or straight 50W?? Been thinking about running straight 50w during the summer due to the heat this year>

Using the 20/50 on this trip. We have already spent, and will be spending more time in some cold weather.

Hot weather only...I use straight 50 or 60 weight.

Cool!

Had the dealer install my new black 2+2 wide sweepers from Khrome Werks, then I got the Tri Glide home and installed the DK footboard extensions. Tomorrow I will install the 1.5" deluxe tank lift kit.
Cool get some pics love to see em. :pepper: ride safely fearless
