Rode mine in the snow to drop it off at the shop for new handle bars, grips and a few other things. I went with the KW 2+2 wide sweepers and ISO grips. I think I'll have a much more comfortable ride when I get it back.

Got my 2016 TG seat back from Mean City Cycles Friday. Beautiful workmanship and a great veteran-owned company to do business with. Couldn't be happier.

rear brakes
I'm going to replace the rear brake pads on my 2016 Triglide while I have it on the lift for the axle bearing retaining plate upgrade. They should be here from J&P today. Question: once the parking brake is loose and the cap is off the rear brake reservoir, should the rear brake piston be pushed back flush with the housing or does it stick out a 16th of an inch or so? The manual doesn't state which. I don't want to force it flush if that's not the way it should be. Thanks.
CAGMO
Just me but if the pads will go on Without making the piston flush i will leave it sticking out a little...

If you can fit the caliper with new pads loaded you should be good to go. If not suck some fluid out of the master before you push the pistons in. You should do a flush of the rear brake fluid no matter which way you do the rear brakes.

I picked mine up today from having the KW 2+2 Wide sweepers installed and Kuryakan ISO grips installed. All I can say is it's like riding a different trike. No pain and no fatigue by the time I got home. I can sit up straight and more comfortable. My arms are more relaxed and no tingling or numbness. I don't even have to lean forward to turn tight corners like before. I can sit upright in the saddle and turn lock to lock. Amazing upgrade.
The ISO grips came with the throttle boss which was no big deal since it's easily removed. I don't think I will take it off. I actually liked it on the ride home more than I thought I would. So it just turned out to be a bonus.
I can't wait for the weather to clear up ( rain and snow for the next few days) so I can ride my ass off, LOL.
They did find this in the fairing. No wires were harmed so all is good.

Ha! 55 degrees here today so I went for a little 60 mile putt around the county. Didn't have a particular route in mind just turned on to a couple different roads I knew of and then turned off on to some I've never been on. Found some interesting two lane county roads with some nice twists and turns. Nice thing is being able to tell the gps to take me home as I was in some unfamiliar territory toward the end of my little adventure.
50 here today. Sounds like a good day for ya.

Was this a Harley dealer that install them for you? And would you mind if I asked you what they charge you for installing them?I picked mine up today from having the KW 2+2 Wide sweepers installed and Kuryakan ISO grips installed.

Local Indie shop. $275 for the install of bars and grips, $130 for the bars, $18 for wire extensions and $89 for the grips plus tax.
I didn't think it was too bad.

I would say that was a real good deal on the labor.
Picked up a "trunk guard" at the dealers and installed it. Was a very easy item to add to the trike, took about 1/2 hour, trike was already on the lift tho.
WOW what a rats nest.

:cxtv:I live where it is always HOT, I ride a Tri-glide, what could possibly go wrong?:)
Hey Jerry! Those are the best kind of rides.
Yep, we've had a few days, here and there that have been warmish, relatively speaking. Alas, I have been working 7 days a week since the beginning of the year. Only riding being done is to the shop and back.
