What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[Steve on 3]

You may be thinking of the recent 1.18.2 Boom Box Software update.

On another forum there was a discussion of a firmware update for air cooled vs twin cooled 14's.. One poster said his bcm was updated. I just wanted to be sure. Dealer says no.

I changed my Seat put an Air-Seat and passenger Armrest. Did not Ride yet.

Just finished installing my DK rear lift kit. Now just need the weather to clear up so I can take it out for a RIDE.

Finally got all the parts for my winter project on my 14 Tri glide. I ordered a color matched inner fairing and a set of Blue Dakota Digital Gauges. When I ordered the gauges I also ordered their air pressure monitor for the rear shocks so I will get a digital readout on my gauges showing air pressure in the shocks. The kit also includes a oil temp sensor that mounts in the pan above the drain plug so I will get a digital temp for the oil displayed on the gauges.

That is going to look great when you are finished...Don't forget to post pictures...I
like the idea of the shock pressure and the oil temp gauge...I would like to find an analog gauge for the oil temp for the 15 I have...

I think I may take a ton of pics while removing and replacing the inner fairing and write a How To for changing out the inner fairing and installing new gauges.

What year is your trike, if it is a 14 where did you get passenger armrests for it?

Broke my front Top Motor mount.

When I left for the shop this morning, all was good. Got home, right side bolt is gone...the one that bolts into the head.

Will look at it more closely after supper...see if the threads are messed up or???

Hope it isn't snapped off like some of the early years.

Nice to have warranty just in case.

On my 11 T/G if it's the same bolt[s] I'm thinking of they would come lose every 5 hundred miles or so.. It got to the point where I always carried a 9/16 box wrench with me. I tried the blue lock-tight and the red. Couldn't kept them tight, I was ready to tack weld them , Then someone turned me on to the green lock-tight..I have over 15 thousand miles on the green and it hasn't loosen..

Picked up a new set of Anarchy rear wheels, mounted a set of new 205R60-16 Goodyear Touring tires on 'em. Look great !!!

Going to put a couple bottles of Ride-On in each tire on Sat and put on a few miles...

Looked at it this morning....fortunately the bolt did not break off, nor are the threads messed up. This is the first time I lost one of these. Will be replaced prior to riding it again.

Kevin, what I ended up doing is drilling a 1/16" hole through the heads in the two bolts and safety wiring the two bolts after torquing them. Haven't had any trouble since.

On mine there's a spacer [thick washer] between the head and bracket, With the bolt gone that properly fell out also..

Just to add the part # for the spacer is 83875-09

[Gorilla]

I just put a lock washer under the head of the bolts. Have not had the issue any more.

Wow! That totally changes the look! Very Nice. Have you noticed any difference in the ride or handling?
