What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[DOKK]

I see what you did there. :laugh:

I think you're going to like all those parts and the benefits they bring you. We appreciate your business.

Kevin

I believe I will. Due to my profession, I am anal about doing research. I think I have watched over half of your videos. Lol.

USPS let me know today I have a package coming from MS. A couple of days and I will have a box full of DKCustoms goodness. Thanks Kevin. I can't wait.

I put on some mirror extenders. only being able to see my arms in the mirrors just didn't seem safe.

If you plan on changing bars to a set of higher ones the oem mirrors are raised View attachment 95999

I had extenders on with the oem bars. I took them off after changing to the KhromeWerks 2+2 Narrows.

Changed out the OEM driving lights for halo makers yesterday. MUCH brighter. Like the handlebars, mechanical reverse, stage 2, backrest, another item that I wished I hadn't waited so long to do.:gah:

I have pretty long arms so the stock setup is good for me. The longest I've ridden is about two hours so far so that may change after a longer ride. We will see and thanks for the reference for the part!

I had the opportunity to ride a full stock Tri Glide. I couldn't see anything and felt like I was crouched over. The bars that were on mine were not stock but still not comfortable and still couldn't see behind me.

I changed to the 2+2 wide sweepers and could see better but still couldn't see behind me without moving my head.

I added the extensions tonight and set them up and I can now see the world behind me and around me. It made a huge difference. For reference, I'm 6'2" and 250.

I rode to work and back today and got to really try out the mirror extensions. Once I adjusted them while riding, I could see everything so well. Including the truck that almost pulled out in front of me on my way home. Vibration is no more than it was with the stock mount configuration. This was an excellent upgrade.

Now to get the stuff in from Kevin and control the wind hitting me over and in front of the tank that is worse now with the new windshield.

We got a 90 mile breakfast run in, a little chilly in the morning but 72 when we got home.

Took the body off to check everything out and do a deep cleaning. Did a three hole oil change with Red Line. Put it back together all sparkling and shiny. Hate the wheels as there is no way to make them look clean. Willie Shiny chrome wheels are on the list after an oil cooler and Mini Mites.

It hit 50º today, And riding in the snow and slush with all the salt and brine mixed in really crapes up the wheels...So using the hot water hose and dawn soap..Wash them then sprayed them with McKees foaming wheel cleaner..Let it sit for a while and once it turns red i hose it off..Looks decent but the'll never look like new..I don't know why i bothered cause i'm only going to ride in that slop tomorrow..:Shrug:...

 

[DOKK]

Yep, it’s a good day when I see this. To bad I won’t have a day off for another 8 days.

might try Zephyr Pro 40 polish and a mothers powerball that will get them as good as they will get. MAGUIRE'S HAS A GREAT POLISH also.

I have a plan

might try Zephyr Pro 40 polish and a mothers powerball that will get them as good as they will get. MAGUIRE'S HAS A GREAT POLISH also.

Back when I was driving over the road I would stop at one of several truck stops around the country that had a polishing facility. There is one located in west Phoenix just off of I-10. I would pull into the truck stop straight from the truck wash and get the wheels and tanks polished. They used a brightener that would oxidize the aluminum and then use a high speed cloth polishing wheel and polishing compounds to make the wheels and tanks have a mirror finish. They would keep the shine for about 3 months. So that is my plan. Next trip to the big city get them polished and take it straight home and clear coat the wheels as a last ditch effort to make them look good.
