What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[DK Custom Products]

Those Questionnaires are like the button on crosswalk lights that say Press here to cross.......They're just there to amuse you.......

I don't take my Harley's to the dealership for service. Don't know if I've ever gotten one of those questionnaires.

About 6 months ago we got one after Mary took here truck in for service (yes, I know I could/should do it, but I just don't like to do it on the truck).

About a week later we got a call from the Service Manager at the Ford Dealership. I answered his questions, the same as on the questionnaire the "mechanic" did Not follow the manual on the service, he insisted the truck did not have zerk fittings that needed to be greased. I let the SM know that I greased them after Mary got home.

He said not to worry, he was sorry, and that they would do the full service, including using a grease gun on the fittings next time.

Last week Mary took it in for another service...and they did NOT grease them again.

It is rare to find a good Service Department anywhere these days.

I will not waste my time pushing the crosswalk button again (I mean filling out the questionnaire).

You are much nicer than me. I may not fill out the questionnaire but I would absolutely have that SM's Ass for being a no good liar to include a refund and free service on the next one. Nothing will ever improve without accountability.

It is a waste of my time to try and fix stupid. Can't be done. Their parents did not raise them right and it is hopeless now that they are adults.

I may be wrong, but that is my take on it.

I got my Questionnaire by E-Mail yesterday. I'm still up in the air about sticking up their butt with the Mothership or not. I might just go to the dealership and talk to the manager about it. I've done it before on an issue that they didn't properly repair. Ya know, when their good, they're good. But when they're bad, they're really terrible. I guess you can say that about any dealership.

Have a safe trip

[DK Custom Products]

Wednesday night 8 of us from the shop took 4 visiting Brits down to Beale Street.* Great time was had.



Yesterday I took the 4 riders from the UK on a 60 mile ride of mostly country roads.* Had a blast.

The four of them left LA and are riding to D.C.* They stopped and spent Wed. evening and Thursday morning with us.

Here's a photo of them a few days ago.

I must have missed something. Why do you need all new brakes on a 2020 trike?

It will be down after the AZ gathering to have clutch & brake fluids drained & replaced. ... As long as that far apart, might as well have new brakes installed. Getting to rears is a lot of work,so having it done so won't have to tear apart again. Our brakes get a lot of use riding mostly off interstate,& all the twisty's in Maggie & all the way down there & back on secondary roads.

What brake pads are you using!

I have to replace my Dunlop elite front tire after 8,000mi. It is just plum worn out! Going with rear tire mounted backwards, maybe then I will get some better mileage out of a tire.

Well, going with HD. Hard to find pads now. A local dealer had some in stock. Others said back ordered till late DEC. only gonna do it as it will be apart for flush of brakes & clutch. Rather than have to tear apart again, made more sense to me to have it done all together. My Elite is still good , may have to replace after the AZ trip, I know I have more miles than 8k though. Will check tomorrow,but I know it is more than that. 21k on this trike & it was on the 16 first.

I have 22,000 miles on my rear tire reversed and still going. Our roads are pretty curvy so they haven't been easy miles.

Put a new Dunlop American Elite rear tire on the front wheel of my 2020 TG. First time I tried a rear tire up front but you guys convinced me to give it a try.

Bill the Dunlop # is 45131425. I bought it from Revzilla. Their # is 952516. BTW for those of us who are veterans Revzilla (and Cycle Gear) offer a 10% discount. You can get it on the Revzilla website from the link at the bottom of the order page once your service has been verified. A nice 'thank you' and much appreciated.

[BILLIJAK]

What size is the Dunlop rear tire? And. did you have a problem finding someone to mount...because not stock mounting..liability, etc?

Thanks for any extra info.

Bill
