MotorTrike did a great job on your trike. Your colors are close to mine.

Enjoy

Really nice looking trike. That makes me wish I would have converted my Road Glide instead of trading it on my Tri-Glide. Enjoy your trike.

Very sharp! Who did your conversion? I'm looking into converting my 2018 Wicked Red Road Glide Special and love how yours turned out! I've just started researching options.

Ben - I can help with that.

Everyone told me there was no answer -so I just kept trying to see what could be done. Took my bike to my local dealer and they installed TPMS in my rear tires (using the Harley TPMS). Then, he simply programmed it for 24 or so in the rear.

I was able to see all three wheels on my info screen. Then, I noticed that the cruise was not working. Took it back - seems, if TPMS shows on all three, it is looking for another sensor. So, he turned the third wheel off and now I see the TMPS on front and left wheel. Front is set for40 and rear is 24.

I am happy with what I got. My bike is a 2021. Friend has a 2019 and when he did his, it had not affect on the cruise - so, you may end up like him.

Good luck.

I am getting all kinds of stories. One dealer says when he called the factory, they told him that the TPMS can not be turned off if the road glide is a standard with factory RDRS installed. MotorTrike says that the dealers turn TPMS off, and disable the TPMS speedometer indication. When that was done, I get a different symbol and still get a red light. also, I have been told that the Harley TPMS sensors can not be installed in the rear wheels because they need a flat surface nest to the valve stem, Some dealers refuse to work on the conversion.

I will be trying a different dealer this week.

I was told all of those same things. My selling dealer said he talked with Harley and they said it could not be done. It didn't make sense to me since I already had TPMS on the bike.

Here is what got my attention. One day I was in the garage with the trike and when I started it, I didn't get a warning light. When I pulled out of the garage, I got the warning light. So what was happening was - the rear tire that was taken off was in the garage and the bike read it. That made me thing, it could be done.

See the below thread and you will find a bit more. Another guy here PFwiz had a Road Glide and he had it done too.

True about the Harley TPMS - the holes in the new wheels are larger - so, if I recall, they simply mounted the sensors inside. They did not need the stems since you are only using the sensor, not the valve stems.

One last thing, after I had mine done, someone mentioned that there was a kit that could convert the Harley TPMS to the regular size. If you can find that thread, it may be helpful to you.

Good luck.
