Just picked up a new 2014 Tri-Glide this afternoon.
Big Blue Pear/Vivid Black
Bone Stock
Got 70 miles in riding it home in the rain, dodging thunderstorms.
I will be posting pics of the mods I do to this bike over the next month or so.
Rolled it out and the clouds opened up for about 10 minutes of heavy rain. Soon after it subsided, the dealership took their obligatory picture, and I was on my way.
Took a bit of a long route to the shop, then on home. Got in about 70 miles. Mostly wet roads, some sun, some light rain, and one heavy downpour.
During break-in I'm keeping my wrist out of the throttle and keeping the RPM's below 3000, so it is difficult to gauge the power difference. However, there definitely seems to be more torque from 2500 - 3000 RPM, even with light throttle.
I did hit some sweepers at 55-65 mph, and the front end definitely is more sturdy.
I don't like the linked brakes...may get used to them, time will tell.
The seat is more comfortable for me.
That big screen in the fairing is still a mystery to me...guess I need to learn it.
When I got to the shop I plugged a Power Vision into the diagnostic port to see what the engine temp reading was. 214 degrees. Much lower than it would have been for a pre-14, given the same conditions.
With the vent open in the fairing there was a definite reduction in buffeting. (I wear a Nolan Modular and am 5' 10
That's it for now. Will be posting my initial list of mods later tonight or tomorrow.
I will be posting pics along the way, as I add them on.
