What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[rhino 2]

Yesterday I had to run up to Memphis. Was a warm 94 degrees!

I took the new bypass, 269...



...in Mississippi there was very little traffic....



...but after getting into Memphis Tennessee, there was a bit more traffic.



Even though it was warm, and mostly interstate riding, was nice to be out in the wind!

Kevin...........I get a woody just looking at those roadways without a pothole in sight......I had to put adjustable shocks on my Slingshot to stop pogo sticking on the potholed roads out here........

Took a nice ride (88 degrees around noon) to test out the new XM module I installed yesterday. Easier than I thought and it worked like a champ. Got 3 free months so picked the right time to do it. Bought the module, the antenna, and the harness for about a third the price of new (missed the HD tax.. no.. not really) and am really looking forward to getting out this summer w/o having to worry about radio or internet or whatever.

Not a lot of potholes down this way. Dips in the road, but not many potholes.

Nope! On the interstate system, bout the only sweepers are the on and off ramps.

It really is nice down here. Having spent my adult riding life north of Chicago...Pot Holes every place ya look...if they filled them in they were bumpy as hell. Then you just put the bike away for 5 months over the winter. So nice to be in great weather and smooth roads!

[TonkaDriver]

Washed 4381 miles of bugs and road grime off. I am think it is about time to take the trunk off and clean and inspect all of the hidden stuff.

[ShapeShifter]

Only managed a total of 341 miles for the entire Holiday Weekend. So far, the best weekend weather we've seen...

Had dropped the TG off on Saturday, up in Memphis, for some work.

Picked it up this afternoon and rode it home thru rush hour traffic.

I made Enging Cooling Fins to help deflect air down toward the engine. Now they are painted and back on my freewheeler. I used two 5/16 rubber washers on each side of the fin.

Nice job and straight forward design. Do you have any before and after heat measurements? Thanks for sharing! Ron

No I don't but the heat that felt on my legs is not there and I feel more air passing between my legs and engine.

Pushed it out of the way, so I could take the Heritage Softail for a ride. but about 180 miles of back roads on it looking at all the high water.... She didnt want to go. so it was fun on the ST day

[TonkaDriver]

I picked up an external breather system with catch can while at DK Custom Products. I read somewhere that without photos it didn't happen, so here they are.



I had a couple of brass fittings from an oil pressure installation kit that fit the ports on the air filter adapter and used the hose that was eliminated to plug off the ports temporarily until I can get to the hardware store for some brass caps or plugs.



I still need to polish the catch can.



The hose and fittings are a really tight fit. I found it helpful to use some oil and I don't have a heat gun, so I found that a blow dryer provided plenty of heat to make the hose more flexible.

Next was to enlarge the drink holder to fit my large thermos. The small one is 16oz and the large is 24oz. I took the 16 on my Eureka trip and found it to be too small.





The 24oz was just a little too large to slip in the holder.



I have a drill press and some die grinder bits so after about 30 minutes of grinding the rim I got it to slip all the way in. It is a little snug so I will need to get out and ride to see if it is too tight. If so there is still some material that can be ground out.



A couple of nice improvements. One which will improve the stage one process. Fuelmoto E series slip-ons will finish it.

You may find stainless steel braided hose would look nicer running to the catch can and take the heat better.

I agree. Sometime in the future I would like to change all lines to steel braid. I think I will have that done by a shop so there will be some $$$ involved. I am pretty sure this will last till then but I very much agree that it will look much better.
