What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[rhino 2]

I applied three coats of the new Rain-X plastic protectorate prior to running the Natchez Trace Parkway last week. I was hoping for good results, but when I hit rain, the windshield just beaded up. Maybe somebody else has better luck, bit I would recommend spending your money elsewhere. This product does not work on an LRS windscreen.

Also the Rain -X will leave a coat of wax type film and in time also leave a blue haze on the shield…I learned that years ago when the product first came out…😱..

Went for a 325 mile ride through the southern Ohio hills . Beautiful day .Now for the bugs all over the front..

Installed the Dakota Digital gauges. These are the bomb. Absolutely great enhancement to the TG.

Last week we had temps in the mid to high 90's.

Yesterday was a perfect 82 degrees. Rode 120 miles, most tree-lined country roads. (took the really long way to work and back )

Almost 64 and still enjoy riding as much as I did half a century ago.

Wiped the dust off the Trike with my Kozak Cloth…..Gets the dust off without water and doesn’t scratch the paint..👍..

I've had a few days now with the new rear suspension and riding both back roads and interstate. What I find at higher speeds on the interstate is it feels more "nimble" or "light", almost a little "loose" to use a racing term. Is this a normal feeling after upgrading the suspension on these? It's not like "oh s***" loose but definitely feels much different than before. I have been riding pretty much every day though since getting it back and it is so much smoother.

There are two different things going on:

1. The shocks are giving a smoother ride and keeping the trike "flatter" in the curves. You have already mentioned how much more comfortable a ride it is. That is due to the dynamically adjusting shocks and the better angle the shocks are on due to the Comfort Lift.

2. The Comfort Lift, along with the taller shocks, have made the rear of the trike sit just a little higher. This results in easier steering. The handlebars require less input to make a slow speed turn, it is not so sluggish, does not require near as much force. This is what so many talk about when they say the steering is so much easier with a Comfort Lift, regardless of the shocks.

BUT, this also means at speed, there is less input needed. This translates into what some call a twitchy feeling, or loose, or just that the steering is overly sensitive at speed. We are so used to the heavy hands needed to steer the Trikes, it can take a little while to adjust to the handlebars needing less input.

Here is a LINK to an article on the technical aspects of the subject.

I realize I may not have understood you correctly, and that there is something that is actually loose. Please make sure that the Comfort Lift brand bolts and the top and bottom shock mount bolts are all tight.

Ride Free,

You understood and described it perfectly. I guess I just gotta relearn the trike. Lol.

Received the oil analysis report on my 2020 TG. Looking good.

Had to put the right-side KW muffler back on. It came loose from the header. not the first time either, had put a new clamp on it about 300 miles ago and torqued it up but it came off again. Also cleaned the bugs off and planning on riding some more.

Let the Sumbitch sit there today and riding my Electra Glide… better gas mileage on solo rides and it’s gonna be 105 with heat index,I need all the open air I can get and my EG has no lowers.

Washed, polished, waxed. Cleaned junk out of tour pak and trunk. Loaded beverages on board. Riding to Gulfport Blowout in the morning!!!!

Installed DK Customs floorboard extensions and 1.5” tank lift on my 2021 Tri Glide; tired (I’m 80), but happy with both products.

KEEP ER GOING, take your break then ENJOY THE RIDE!

Took her out this morning for a 100 mile ride. The difference in felt heat from the engine is a blessing. The footrest extensions keep my boot heel off of the exhaust.👍👍

The TG was filthy from a lot of riding in the rain and many hours of sitting in dusty parking lots.

Took the time today to wash her up. Would rather be riding than cleaning, but I do like how easy it cleans up with the ceramic coating.

I put on a set of Hywy pegs/rests. Felt pretty good getting my leg away from the heat. The last 3 days, I had to wait at home. Had to sign for my new cell phone. First day, it didn't show up. 2nd. day, it showed up late in the day. Today, I ride. Nice day here in Iowa. Also, synced my cell phone in the trike.
