What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[MikeyTX]

How ugly was she? (ba-doomp-ching!)

We just rode all day in the Florida heat, and ours didn't melt either! Now let me think... is Texas heat a dry heat? I'm not sure, the Florida heat has made me a little woozy. Maybe it's time to sit down and have a few beers!

I could only wish for dry heat like they have in AZ, NV or, the Mojave in CA. Sadly ours is soggy dish rag in your face wet. As for my ex, she was soooooooo ugly .................... Had to tie a pork chop around her neck just to get the dog not to snap and growl at her.

Hi, could you post a pic of that, did you make the hole water proof? I have mine going through the mail slot.

In the middle of exhaust install header pipes on adapters on waiting on neighbor and acess to his band saw to cut mufflers to add Thunder Torque Inserts. So while waiting installed switch for Wards fans and waiting for rtv to cure, Installed premium breather kit and stage 1 air cleaner. Driver floorboard extension kit mounted. Tank lift front and rear installed , still need to put on dual cool and oil filter relocation with permanent oil filter. After exhaust on install tuner and download tune.

You're cranking out some improvements!

Sorry I only just saw your question in another thread...just answered it a few minutes ago. Sorry for the late reply, sounds like you have things well in hand.

Cooling wings on , dual cool and remote oil filter on. Tune downloaded. Hope to finish exhaust tonight. Then ride.

[FuzzyWuzHe]

Then ride.

Finally ... the brass ring ...

Short shake down ride , exhaust not sealing at rear head it sounds like. Gonna let her cool down loosen and the reseat everything and see what happens hope it doesn't need to come apart again. Wards fans cycled on and took about 15 minutes to turn off after shutdown. Set up gauge screen on Tuner.

If you used new gaskets then more than likely you just didn't get the nuts down equally. I usually go 3 or 4 turns per nut back and forth to seat them evenly.

Loosened every thing , reset and retorqued. Still heard leak. Out of town for weekend. Gonna have to come apart and check gaskets and try again on Monday.

we have decided to put our stage 4 motor in our trike and put a 120r in my fat bob and leveing the 500 alone at the moment.

[ctdair]

Removed the new exhaust , removed supplied flat gaskets and installed stock tapered gaskets. Reinstall exhaust , no leaks , glad thats done. Remote oil filter base leaking at outlet fitting , cranked in two whole turns using a weatherhead socket. Definitely a specialty tool that most people don't have but should.

i went out to the shed to put a cover over her and Fatbob and found they had made a 500hd hehe so covers on 3 of them,

Those crush gaskets seem to be the only way to go.

Rode to work this morning. Happy with the power after all the mods. Little loud not too bad. Rode it mildly not cracking it wide open and running revs up. Try to shift at 2500.
Still small leak at remote filter gotta chase that down.

Rode my 16 TG out on gravel roads leading to where I go dirt bike riding just to confirm I no longer care if its blacktop or gravel. I was right, I don't care. This opens up a lot more roads in the area to go sightseeing on. Going to trade in my 15 Ultra Limited Low now on another trike because my wife started riding this one. Yesterday she rode the trike and I the bike and had 50 or 60 miles of rain on the mountain roads out of the 170 mile trek. Turned out okay but think I would have felt safer on a trike! Besides I have a 07' 1200 Sporty when I really want 2 wheels.

Had to make a stop at dealer for a new gas cap. Stopped for fuel after work and almost couldn't get cap off and took quite a while to get it back on.
