Just curious how I could find out the rear wheel spec's, offset, lug spacing, etc.

Thanks!

Lug spacing is real simple since there are only four lugs. Just measure from center-to-center between two opposite lugs. I just put a ruler up there and it looks like 4 1/4". Back spacing, take off a wheel and lay it face down. Lay a straight edge across the rim (not the tire) and measure down to the flat mounting surface of the tire. I just came in from the garage after putting on a set of lift plates, which requires removing the wheels. Had I seen this I would have checked it for you.

Lug pattern is the same as the fox bodied Ford family of automobiles....Mustang, Thunderbird and yes...the Pinto 4 x 4.25 (108mm). On the Lehman kitted trikes, replacement wheels were easy to find, but with the TG removable fenders, offset becomes an issue if you are considering replacement wheels. Others have tried and failed......unless something has changed.

Measuring Wheel Offset gives good info.

wasn't the '09 tri-glide a lehman trike?

HD parts installed by Lehman for both the 09 & 10, then HD moved assembly to York for 2011. For the 09 - 10 MY HD would build the front half of the Trike in York then ship it to Lehman to assemble the back half.

It was a partnership with HD and Lehman and no it was not a Lehman trike.

Well..... We were supposed to be in Yellowstone. We left Friday 7/1 as planned and all was going well, even though we road through 2 days worth of rain storms. We made it to North Platte NE on 7/2 and stopped for the night. Left the next morning and got 95 miles from there when the starter on my dads trike decided to engage itself while pulling into a gas station. Had to call AAA and have a flat bed take it back to North Platte which had a Harley Dealer, only problem is they didn't open until 7/5 so we were stuck. The dealer didn't get to the Trike until 12:30 on Tuesday then took several hours to figure out the starter switch was bad along with a harness, funny thing is the same thing happened when the trike was new.

We ended scrubbing the Yellowstone trip and heading North to the Black Hills, spend a few days riding that area and now on the way back home. The bright spot is my dad has the extended warranty which covered the repair along with 3 days of Hotel stays plus meals. Good thing he had the AAA RV coverage which covered hauling his trike because the guy who picked it up said it would have been a $400 tow,

Sorry for the break down but sounds like you were prepared. Ride safe.

Being a newbie on here, I just saw this. Was wondering if anyone figured out the offset? I hate the idea of not finding new wheels for the back because there is such a limited number to choose from. :Coffee:
