What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[rhino 2]

You are not the first, nor last to to that. I did it (but with a #2 pencil) on my 95 Road king while changing cams and tensioners. Not to mention when mice filled my Rinehart mufflers with deer corn from then feeder. No damage, except that it scared the sh-t out me when I cranked it up and sand blasted the garage wall with deer corn!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped the wing nut inside my Carter AFB’s Carburetor…And as far as Corn/Acorns and seed that’s a given with my ATV’s after sitting a while in the pole barn…I had to start spreading moth balls all around the machines to keep the rodents away..

Damnit I forgot to attach. I hate that my pictures get turned sideways. I guess I need to start turning my phone the long way when I take pictures…old habits but y’all can see it.

Bought the AM/FM & CB antenna, conversion wire harness to install my ProBeam on my 21 …got the bike flashed for the CB and the passing lamp to stay on with both high and low beams.. awesome.

I put over 15000 miles on my American Elite reversed since June. I think you'll be glad you did the swap. Have fun on the trip.

I did find the strap was ripped. I guess I'll order another one later. It doesn't seem really necessary.

Installed a Rekluse clutch slave cylinder on my '18 TG. All I can say is WOW. It will most definitely help with my arthritic left hand and wrist. It is all of the advertised 30% lighter clutch pull. Only downside so far was having to drop the exhaust to get the cover off.*. Bad planning Harley engineers.

We did a breakfast run yesterday, about 80 miles round trip then spent an hour cleaning the love bugs off. Probably not going to ride for a week or so because of those buggers, they're very acidic and need cleaned off right away.

You have to understand......Engineers and for the most part designers don't ever work on things that they engineered/designed .....Thats not their job ..Their job is to make it last till the warrteny runs out and to look pretty while doing so.......

And did any of them amid that they were wrong… the closest you can ever get them to admit to being wrong is when they say that’s Not necessarily so… lawyers will also use that line when they are wrong..

I mostly got the attitude of: " You're just a dumb maintenance guy, what do you know? "

Funny how over the years HD has depended on owners to do the R&D to their bikes and make them more reliable

That’s called free research and development they ain’t so dumb as you think they are..

I used to get that for about 30 years. Now I get "You're just a maintenance supervisor, what do you know?" :laugh:

First, I was gonna install a2” tank lift but in m6 infinite wisdom I didn’t disconnect the fuel line and proceeded to snap the fuel rail. Luckily, it’s a $22 part and the local dealer had it in stock . Now the tank lift is on, the bike cranked back up and there are no leaks or parts left on the floor of the garage.

Finished up the 1K service and gave it a good cleaning. The HD oil filter funnel did not work out so well for me.
