Dealer called this morning, new trike is in. Hauled the 16 over & they will start moving some parts . All tires to be swapped as I just got a new Avon on the front & Goodyears on the rear. Garage door opener , seat, Trike Mirror Polished SS Wheel Disc, Reach handlebars,Edge Cut grips & a few other things.

Also they are going to see if they can swap that vent in the fairing. HD in all their combined idiotic wisdom, did away with the closing button. Prob saved them a $1. Anyway SM thinks he can swap it. I hope so. Don't like to ride with it open. And of course the week end is going to turn to (&^&%.. At least it will be ready for the Hill Country mid April.:clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping:

I'm surprised you put new tires on your old one since you are trading unless you did this before you decided to trade. Did you have a different kind of seat on your 16 and if yes just take off and put the other one on or maybe you had your had your 16 seat redone and that is why. Don't blame you for keeping the SS wheel disc, one of these days I'm going to ordered them myself.

I agree harley sure screwed up on getting rid of the button on fairing, what was they thinking of, the bean counters that did this don't ride. Don't forget to ask for extra fob and tell them you want a rear shifter also, just a thought. I imagine you will be stomping at the bits to get out and ride it for sure. Congrats, need pics sometime

All for now Trampas

Yes tires were done before a trip last year, only 5000 on them. Avon front & Goodyears on the rear. I already have the shifters. No big deal to add just need to cut that rubber spacer to 3/4". The shaft is long enough to add a shiftlever.

Seat has been done with memory foam & gel. Wife sat on the new one & told SM to swap the seats. It will be a while before it comes home,as once they put chemicals on the roads, My SM wont road test bikes & throw that crap underneath the bikes. I left my trailer there so when it is ready weather is not an issue.
 
Congrats...!!!!

Another proud Papa!

We’ll leave the light on for ya here in Kerrville.
