What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[graygoat]

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.

Mikey, you are never done!!!

We shall see. I am hitting a saturation point.

Every sport' hobby/guns or endeavor i've tried soon after i reached the saturation point; AKA- The last piece to the puzzle ' I would say to myself 'Is that all there is and then I moved on to the next money pit... So I'm done with stuff for the Tri-Glide and my Victory except maintenance... My next money pit i think is gonna be Medal detecters...But thats for another post... :Shrug:

Need to rid of my scooters and hot rod. Then although the saturation period has peeked a while back, its time to get back to basics.
What did i do to my trike; hugged the motor while riding due to being fregin cold

Only just so much one can do to the tri before it looses functionality. I'm not into bling. Believe me, it has taken me 6 mos to finally come around to the idea of buying the trunk guard. Not because I roll backwards into things, more the other way around. Or, some smart ass pops it out of gear just to watch it roll backwards across a parking lot at Wally World. I refuse to spend the $$ Harley wants for the black gauge trim rings. A sharpie will do the trick thank you.

The day I quit thinking about different mods to our trike, will be the day I take my last breath. :laugh:

I left work after a few hrs. went for a nice fall ride with wife. We stopped at the dealership and ended up buying some LED tail lights. So I just finished installing them.

Tuesday work on glide

Well I received my Progressive 444 shocks and spent a couple of hours installing them. Hopefully today the wife and I can take a little ride to test them out. :clapping: I will give a report after a good ride. James Young:cxtv:

 

[1dn5up]

Looking forward to the report. New things will happen, be careful

 

[MikeyTX]

I want to know how one adjusts them once they are on the trike ? Crawl under it ? Or, back it up on ramps ?

Dont know:Shrug:
That will be part of your report! Ramps I would say , unless your one of those flexible skinney people. Hope ya don't halfto pull the rear wheels, or change settings for 1up or 2.

 

[MikeyTX]

:laugh: Won't be one of my reports .......... I'm quite happy with my air shocks. If and when one of the OEM shocks blows a seal and, should the trike be out of warranty by then, I will replace with Progressive air shocks.

 

[Rollin Thunder]

I just put NEW Tag's on my Tri Glide because our RIDING season is really just starting for us. We have two seasons out here Summer & Fall..

 

[MikeyTX]

No spring ?

I just changed the spark plugs on my 2011 Tri Glide, 40 thousand miles first time out. Perfect color' And the gap was at 45 thousands. I gapped the new ones at 40 thousands..I could've re gapped the old ones and put them right back' But at 5 dollars for two plugs why bother...:Shrug:

ride report on shock install

Well took a nice ride Thursday with the progressive 444 shocks and it is a great improvement. No hard jolts or bottoming out like we had with stock air shocks. Wife and I rode back roads and places we have rode before but felt better after returning. Not sure yet about adjusting the setting, I did mount them upside down per instructions but did not try turning the adjustment after install. I set mine up on the second ring and it seams fine so far.:clapping:

Did you buy an inexpensive set of ramps to back up on if you need to change the settings ? Inquiring minds .........
