My new Tricycle

[stratmarshall]

I traded for a black 2021 Tri-glide at the of June. I had the right muffler come loose and slide back. Took it in for service and the dealer fixed it up. Took it on a week long trip to the Black Hills last week. (2352 miles) The trike ran great even in 102* heat and heavy rain. I got a rock chip on the right fender within the first 500 miles so I put the Harley Fender bras on Before I left. Took them off to wash the trike today and they left a imprint of the outside seams on the fenders. Polish wont remove the imprint. Gonna have to get some rubbing compound and try and remove it. Other than that had a great ride. Great riding in the black hills.

Welcome to trike talk, enjoy the ride. Just curious if you put the clear film down on fenders before you put the covers on. I know around here the dealers said to put clear film down to help protect the fender when putting on the cover, just a thought

All for now Trampas

The reason you got the mark is because you left wet bras on the fender. It is critical to remove and dry bras before reattaching.

Hi Rick. New tricycle looks great!

Yea we got caught in heavy rain friday. I did not realize I needed to remove them and let them dry. I hope I can buff out the marks out.

Jack I did put the little paint protector squares under the plastic clips. I kinda like the way they looked and they did protect the fenders from anymore rock chips but the marks are a bit troubling. Seems like a bunch of trouble if you need to remove them every time they get wet.

Thanks for all the positive comments, The 114 has plenty of power. I believe I can ride this into my sunset years. However long that is.

Don't know what I'm gonna use to try and remove the marks. Live and learn I guess.

If you have a local body shop , ask them to try to sand the fenders with 1500 grit da paper , go up to 3000 then 5000 then 8000grit then buff them with a 3 stage compound , they should clean up ? or take them off & have them reclear coated . Harley has pretty good paint & clear coat , They all most got one thing wright .
