Yep you surely did....The chance to be the first one on your block to have a shinny new 107 sitting in your driveway...

[MikeyTX]

Not worth it imho. I truly don't feel like undoing all my mods to bring the trike back to stock. My '16 runs just fine thank you.

[trikermutha]

believe the compensator is revised again

[MikeyTX]

They keep trying to compensate .......................

Everyone has their own opinion,but I traded my 16 for a 17 and couldn't be happier,new engine yep,lots more torque down low were its needed yep,improved suspension yep,less heat yep,lots less engine noise you betcha,much smoother above 60 oh yeah. Didn't have the 16 all that long put 7800 miles on it in less than 5 months,other than the air cleaner kit everything i changed will be transferred to the 17.So for me it was a good move.Today will be 3 weeks since i got it and just under 1000 miles not to bad considering it rained every day the second week i owned it.

You ride two up. I don't. No heat issues. I carry all of 16 lb of gear. Rain jacket w/bottoms weigh next to nothing. Don't pull a trailer. I would have to buy new bars again and yes, I'd loose the high flow intake. If you are happy, that is all that counts for you. Me, I'll wait.

I wrote a check for my trike so it is paid for.

I do not want to eat the depreciation. Oh yeah, I'd have to give up the boom audio speakers in the front.

Install/remove requires removing the fairing. I do not want to jack with that ever again.

Improved suspension ? The rear shocks are still the same. Front on the trikes didn't change either I've been told. The beefed up suspension on the front is only the Limited and Limited Low according to my service department mgr.

90 percent of my riding on the trike is two up and i was told they changed the valving in the front,maybe it just seems smoother,if you are happy with your ride then you would be foolish to trade up.

Best way is to check the part numbers. Guess I'll make a call tomorrow. My dealer just closed for the day.

Only it doesn't say squat about the suspension. First click tab is the MoCo blurb about the new engine. Second one is also about the new engine. Third one is about the infotainment center. Fourth one is about the wide set handlebar. Fifth one tell you about how cool looking the inner fairing gauges are.

[MikeyTX]

In fact, it is only in the Ultra Classic Limited and Limited Low sections on control does the MoCo make mention of the all new dual bending valve front suspension and adjustable emulsion rear shocks. Which, we do not get on the trike. My money is on the only thing the '17 Tri Glide got was a higher price, the M8 and the related handlebar clutch/brake reservoirs that made it to the entire touring line. And some new paint colors. ymmv.

Did really you read it ?

the responsive handling of the all-new double bending valve front suspension and easily-adjustable emulsion rear shocks

Damn straight I read it. And, one of the first things I asked the service manager at my servicing dealer :"Did the '17 trike get the new front suspension that the Limited's got ?" The response was "No."

I guess they were wrong

who is they ?

[rap47]

2017 Tri Glides STILL have the same suspension in the rear as my 2011!!!!

[1dn5up]

HD does not halfto change anything but the blings. They have no competition as of now !

[MB1953]

Well, two weeks and 800 miles in, and I don't know for sure yet if they made suspension changes, but I will say that my new '17 TG is smoother and more responsive handling than my '14 that I had already improved with the DK comfort lift, either 1 or 2 up. It has made a believer out of me!
