What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[Fozworth]

What didn't I do lol changed handle bars and grips , moved tour pack back ,raised tank , extended floor boards , put on mirror extenders , extended shift peg , have new seat and wind shield coming soon

And that was all this past week

Grumpy, you said "put on mirror extenders". Did you do that to eliminate blind spots? The reason I ask is I've been surprised how many vehicles have been able to "sneak up" on me lately.

I really don't "get" it. My mirrors seem to be plenty good for everything behind me but somehow it's not.

Anyone have extra mirrors they like for eliminating blind spots?

Thanks

I have the extenders on mine and they get my "view" out beyond my shoulders, which is why I put them on. They do NOT eliminate "blind" spot for me, so I will be following this thread as well. HD sells a double mirror but the reviews seem to be mixed, so I doubt I will go that way.

I believe it was CONSITTER that added the Street Glide fairing mounted mirrors in addition to the stock ones. Seems like it might help. Maybe he will pop in and comment.

In my opinion they do help. But, the purpose of me adding them was to still use the regular mirrors with extenders to see my little girl when she's riding behind me. I really need to either add another set of extenders to get the regular mirrors out of the view of the batwing mounted mirrors, or buy trim mounted mirrors for the windshield. I KNOW those would do the trick as far as being able to see my little girl and the road, but they are rather expensive at $300 total.

Yeah, no way to have an oil cooler with the Cool Masters. The oil cooler will fit with the Mighty Mites.

Wow, good thing I seen this. I have the Cool Master fans and was just about to order the oil cooler. I don't recall seeing this on the DK Customs website when I ordered my fans. Would certainly be a good thing to know before ordering the Cool Masters or the oil cooler.

Yeah, I'm going to post something on our website about it. I know some folks like the Cool Masters better. The Mighty-Mites work better, and there is no conflict between the Mighty-Mites and the Oil Cooler.

Key to the above chart:

Amb= Ambient Temperature at the time of the testing

CHT= The front cylinder head temperature as measured by the OEM factory sensor, and displayed on the Power Vision as ET

FC= Temperature measured with a heat gun, directly behind the spark plug on the Front Cylinder

RC= Temperature measured with a heat gun, directly behind the spark plug on the Front Cylinder
