What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[jc1300]

Glad to see you posting again,JC.

Thanks Brother....It's just been a hell of a couple of months. I'm a little long in the tooth to be packing and moving and unpacking and on and on.......But so far, I'm starting to believe all I have to do is pick a direction and the whole state is just beautiful. And it sure is nice having roads that aren't either beat to death or under construction!

At 14k miles, changed out the original OEM Dunlop yesterday on my 2016 TGU for a Dunlop American Elite rear tire that I had mounted in reverse direction to account for the radial splice. Hoping to get about 20-25k out of this new tire. I took off about 1k worth of rubber on the front tire in 350 miles of spirited riding in the GA,NC and TN mountains this past week on some beautiful roads (Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, Highlands, NC).

Productive Day

First, the Tank Lift Kit w/Deluxe Option went on. Easy!

Then, progressed to the Twin Cam Head Breather System. Surprise! Didn't have to do any drilling on the "13 TG rear AC housing. There are three big open squares back there!

Next, on went the oil filter relocation and oil cooler kit with braided Stainless hose and Chrome hose clamps.

And finally, out for a ride and leak check. All was well, but discovered something pretty interesting, yet unnerving....

....key and fob are on the workbench within ten feet of the bike. TG fires up - no problem - and down the driveway I go. Go out and run about thirty miles and head back home. All is well. I get home to find my key and fob still on the workbench.

Good thing I didn't stop for ice cream or the TG would have put up a fuss and I woud have had to either go into override or call my wife and ask her to bring the key and fob. Next time I'm working on the TG, I'll put the key and fob in the tour-pack!!

Thanks DK Custom Products. All y'all made my day!:clapping:

I did the same with my Tri, Lucky i was only two miles from home. [6:30Am]..So instead of going though the code i called my wife and asked her to run the FOB over to me.. She wasn't to happy , You would of thought i had asked her to invade Poland or something..:gah:

 

[Dmdrone]

I got my dk lift kit on that's a wonderful improvement my wife also likes it

I keep a card with my security code on it in my wallet, and the instructions on how to use it in my Tour Pak. That way if I get somewhere without my FOB (or the battery goes bad in the FOB) I can still start her up.

Today's Updates

- lift kit added
- 5000 mile service
- software update
- foggy headlamp and loose trunk latch (both warranty) on order, to be replaced on Monday
- returned and replaced rain suit that never should have passed QC inspection. Pants didn't have waterproof tape on the seams in the crotch so of course they leaked A LOT! And the liner on one of the sleeves in the jacket was sown in twisted making it all but impossible to get it on in a hurry on the side of the road without a lot of help.

Only continuing issue that the service department "hopes" will be resolved with the new software update is a problem with the voice recognition freezing up and not being able to use it again until I stop and restart the ignition. They couldn't get the problem to replicate itself.

Not today, but last week. Traded my 2013 Triglide for a 2016 Triglide; Dealer made a very attractive offer trying to get rid of the last of his 2016's

I did a lot for my Big Mac today, by installing some of the delivery from DK Custom, thanks Kevin for this good deal, wich ended with releasing the packages from customs.

First I installed the “Chrome Mini Floorboards w/ Rubber Cushioned Heel Rests”, what a big step ahed in comfort. In addition with the Floorboard Extenstions now I have a pretty big area to place my feet, very comfortable. Not so nice, that the “Extended Brake Pedal Lever / Arm” does not fit on my bike. It conflicts with my leg shields, but thanks for this, I noticed, that the joint of the lever was bone dry. Then I installed the Mid Step, another great step forward in comfort. I need to accustom my self to the existence of this device, but very useful at mounting the bike! Thanks to the guys at Trike Mid Step for this invitation!
Finally the simplest modification, lowering the rear tyre pressure to 22 psi, gives a nice, smooth ride.

Today is bad weather, but I had to test all these stuff, so I did a short 55 miles round, where I found a nice resting place



with a grand view into dramatic clouds

Traded it for a shiny new two tone mysterious red victory red m8

Time to change your sig ............

 

[MikeyTX]

So I ..............

Put the taller Wind Splitter on. The morning ride to work is getting chilly, even here in n central TX. Swapped out the fishtails for the short slash tips on the Street Cannon's. And, I finally ordered the rear trunk guard. With any luck, I am done jacking with this thing.
