I've been playing with a mount to allow me to use the Zumo on the tri ... I made a mount, cleaned it up, painted it and then decided it was functional but ugly. Or as Dad would say ... fuggly.

So I ordered a Kuryakyn mount ...



I will probably still need to "modify" something. I need to have 3 things on the hand controls ... maybe 4 ... LOL (More on #4 later).

I'm thinking the GPS on what is now my PV mount. Put the Kuryakyn mount on the same control under that mount and put the PV on it. All that would be on the left control.

The right would hold the butler drink holder and possibly #4 .. I like the drink holder on the right control because I can't get a drink while NOT in cruise control ... kind of a safety thing.

Another option would be to get a second holder and just have either the GPS or PV mounted at any one time. Not sure I like that idea. I could always spring for the GPS map updates and not use the Zumo at all.

When I figure out how all this will all work, I'll post pics.

Wife said she was uncomfortable riding because she couldn't extend her legs out far enough. I installed the Kuryakyn adjustable Hi-Way pegs for her but she was still uncomfortable after riding for awhile. I told her I can't move her feet out any further but I could move her butt back so I installed the tour pack relocation kit from DK Custom Products. The instructions are well written and the kit was easy to install. I also installed the Kuryakyn filler pad to fill the gap between the backrest and the seat. Had to purchase longer screws for the filler pad because the OEM screws were to short. I purchased 10-24x3/4 stainless steel screws and they fit perfect. Now I have to take the wife for a ride and see if it helps her.

I am sure she will like it much better. Set mine up at 2" back and it made a world of difference for my wife.

Pretty sure she is going to like the Tour Pak Relocation.

I don't see how any adult passenger, any size, is going to be comfortable long term in the space given in OEM configuration.

I spent a good bit of time this last week getting some things done on the TG in preparation for our trip up to Newfoundland.

I've outlined the details, with photos, in the build out link-

I did get the GPS mount and PV mount to play nice together ... this configuration will only be used on trips out of town ...

Fuzzy.. just like the automatic driving cars.... you need the motorcycle version. I don’t know how you are going to keep your eyes on the road for looking at all the gadgets and gauges you’ve got in front of you....

That's why they are almost on top on each other ... quick glance ... back on the road.

The reason for leaving the PV on all the time is to monitor the head temps etc? Assuming it has tuned the bike where ya want it...but I forget about the altitude changes in your part of the world....

I changed all my fluids over to RedLine today. Getting it ready for the trip to Sturgis. I can ride the ST in the mean time, so I dont need a oil change when were out there. Had fun taking the filter off. The oil was changed before I bought it.... The brain dead SOB had it so tight, I drove a punch in it 5 places to get it unscrewed... Thinking about a filter relocating system for the next change. With the cooler lines and by air filter bypass hose across there, this was the worst one I've ever had to change the filter...

[PosseRider]

Changed all fluids after our ride with Lola out west. New Avon came & will have it put on, while dealer go's over the Tri for the next 2 rides & gives it a good check. Will try some "Ride-On" in this tire. If I remember right (CRS), you seniors know what that is... this new Avon looks much more husky than the old style Avon.

Change the front and back brake pads on my 17 Tri-Glide.

Put EBC HH pads on.

Originals had 36500 miles on them and the back especially the right side was almost to the point of no return.

The fronts were only 1/2 to 2/3 gone.

The install went much easier than I expected being my first time.

My wife even did the right front caliper including loosening and torqueing the bolts.

Added two more Ferrite static traps to Old Shiney snap them over the wires and the static gets stopped right there. I wish I would have asked years ago... I was considering swapping out the radio for a new improved one. These little inexpensive goodies saved us big dollars. ride safe Fred

Took it to the dealer for the 5K service. The radio needed an update, currently working well.

[FuzzyWuzHe]

Put 100 miles on it ... just enjoying the day.

Front tire taken off and went to local independent repair shop , new Avon trike tire mounted. Hopefully reinstall Wednesday or Thursday.

[Fearless]

Today was mid-season P.M. checked wheels all fluids air pressure tires and suspension etc. I did have the trike all apart last winter, for serious adjustments. And a quick once over with Pro-40 Polish on the wheels nice time going over things just to be sure we are good to go when we want. Travel Safe Fred/Jeanne

Tire back on ,short test ride. Felt a sort of buzzy feeling in the grips. Not a out of balance condition on tire just felt different. Any other Avon tire uses feel this? Maybe just the chip and seal back roads I was on. Didn't feel with stock Dunlop.

My new Avon front tire felt the same for a real short period, too, but it went away within 50 miles. Maybe just a break-in thing.
