Just trying to find someone to repair the reverse motor on my 2014 Triglide. Harley wants $1500.
Welcome to Trike-Talk... I repaired mine twice myself, Took it apart and sanded the commutator/armature cleaned the brushes each time it worked for a few months the 3 time I had mine rebuilt That was over two years ago,That lasted about a year.. [95 Dollars]
Then i bit the bullet and had a Mechanical reverse put in [Motor-Trike reverse 17 hunderd] ...Shoulda did that the first time...Now i can park anywhere i want...
The motor is an Hitachi 4 rebuilders over the phone said they can fix till i brought the motor to them.. Thats when they said ..No can do.
The shop that did mine is ;
Middlesex Armature Service
Colonia NJ 07607 Tell # 732-634-3779
Don't know what they charge now?
My advice.. Go Mechanical....

If you can wait till tomorrow I will update you with reverse motor repairs I had done successfully with a one year warranty at a total cost $308. The turnaround time was 10 days. Very happy with repairs and service. DJ
You might want to go ahead and have the mechanical reverse installed now. I have the mechanical and no problem.
Every day is a good day.

Just about any Alternator Starter Motor rebuild shop can do it. It's a Mitsubishi starter.

First if you search new post on the Forum you will find several articles for “Reverse Motor”. When I did my search this company was recommend and here is their contact information;
Performance Starter and Alternator Inc., 2131 Harrison SW, Canton, OH. (Here is their web site http://www.performancestarter.com/) and spoke with Mike the owner. He rebuilds the H-D reverse motors himself due to the complexity and insuring they are water tight. The cost was $308 including shipping and insurance. Mike said he warranty’s a rebuild for one year (same as H-D if you purchased it new $1475 + 4 hours labor @ $100 per hour).
So, I removed my reverse motor from the 2011 Tri- glide with 38,786 miles and sent it to Performance Inc. in Canton OH. He said he was two weeks behind before he could do the rebuild.
I am totally satisfied with the rebuild and cost. I understand others are installing a reverse gear but at this time I couldn’t justify the cost.
I have no affiliation with this company or personnel only received this information off this forum. Hope this helps.

Only problem with installing a mechanical reverse,is if under warranty. Void warranty.

for the cost of rebuilding a reverse motor why not just buy the extended warranty then you are covered for 5 years after the original warranty is up

I replaced the armature... carbon brushes and brush plate....The weak link in the chain are the brushes... Changed them 3 times...The reason the brushes go bad is moisture/water causes them to corrode, Ride in the rain and snow/shush' And salt like i do ... And thats it...
