Trunk lock problem. First the key wouldnt turn then door wouldnt stay shut so had them replace the lockset entirely. So far so good on new lockset. Other than that nothing really to report.

Also, mileage was about 33 mpg on the way to Sturgis and back (3k RPM). Last weekend ride was 36 - 38 mpg (under 3k RPM).
Got my Tri Glide at the end of July, almost 700 miles on it and no issues at all!! Looking to take our 1st trip in early September. Stay safe everyone.
Like the others have said, I had a sticky trunk button but it’s no longer a problem after putting graphite on it. Also, my 12volt plug on the right side fairing would short out when something was plugged in. Turns out the factory had the wires reversed, which they fixed at my 1,000 mile service. No other issues and I’m over 3,000 miles. Have fun!
Mary and I bought ours 2 months ago and we still are waiting for a call to pick it up. In the meantime I have been putting together a list to buy from DK. Pretty much the same items I had on the 2016. Kevin had a video that said the new Harleys do not need a tuner after changing air intake and exhaust. He did say they have not had a chance to check out the 2021 models. Has anyone had any experience with this?
To post SNAKE VENOM 2021 by New Orleans Kevin: We have a 2021 TriGlide Ultra as well. Where did you find the Hammock Seat? Agree, headlight is no good, will change. We purchased latter Apr 2021 and just turned 6.5K. Love the 10” Freedom Shield, too.

Billy, welcome aboard from a neighbor.

Picked up the Hammock Seat from Surdyke.com for 478.00 . I offered the local dealer to price match but they wouldn’t. Only waited about two weeks back in March . Lots of parts are harder to get now, but I’m being patient. I love the Hammock Seat. My lighting all came from Direct Cycle Parts- great pricing there and Custom Dynamics products are awesome. I’ve got the Freedom Touring 12 in. Welcome TexasBilly!
Just traded my '06 Goldwing Motor Trike for the '21 Tri Glide Thursday the 4th so only 160 miles thus far. Friggin' rain is insufferable! This is my first Harley so obviously lot's of differences, mostly good and some will just take some getting used to coming from a Wing. Agree that the high beam is useless. I did have the dealer do the flash Friday for constant aux lights, which helps. Waiting on backrest, passenger arm rests, and heel shifter arm to come in. Now have to save up some more cash for other goodies. My Christmas list is a lot longer now! My only real complaint is the amount of heat coming off the exhaust. It may just take some getting used to or I may have to do something to curtail it. Looking forward to many Happy miles and smiles!
Good information about cooling your ride on this site. DK Custom Products You can find lots of things for your Christmas list, your birthday list and your just-want-it list.

Picked up my 2021 Gaultlet Grey and Vivid Black on September 17 from Destination Daytona and road it home to Charleston, SC 2 days later. Have already swapped out the seat, tail lights. Added ciro3d lights to the back, and put on fender bras. This week it's getting the bars swapped out to Khrome Werks 2+2's.
dawingrider,
There are some little things called ‘floor board spacers’ out there that I have put on both of my Harleys. They move the floor boards out away from the engine and pipes, which allows a little more air flow between your legs and the exhaust. When my Tri comes in, they will be in the shop waiting to be installed on it.
Hope they will help you at least take some of the heat off.
Texas; 254 counties and I have ridden through them all! Got my pin from my Congress Lady congratulating me on completing my journey.
Kevin,
If you're going to go for the painted inner fairing (I had mine done last year) check out the vender called Fairing Xchange( fairing xchange.com) from Port Orange, Florida. You set up an appointment date at the rally location of your choice and send $100 advanced deposit to guarantee your color will be on the truck, and just show up and they will exchange your stock fairing for a new painted one for around $500. They did my trike in less than 45 minute for the swap-out and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.
Good Luck with the new ride--gunfighter
I've had Paul and his crew at THe Fairing Exchange swap out my inner fairings on my 2013 ElectraGlide, 2017 Street Glide Special and soon the 21 Triglide. They also do a ton of other stuff - KST bars, sound, lighting, , etc. and do fantastic work , quickly. They did my Rokker XXR on my 17 SGS and its awesome. A painted inner makes a bike pop!
Just to follow-up.. After the handle bars swap I headed straight back to Daytona for Biketoberfest where I had Progessive swap out the shocks with their 444's.
Yesterday took the bike in for it's 1k service (actually had 1200 on it). I think the only thing I'm going to add for a while will be the 12v power outlet in the tourpak as that is where I keep my phone.
Hopefully the fuel mileage settles down to a better average.
