New Triglide

[10rhrk]

Hello everyone, I said hello in the new member section. Just wanted to post here and show the new addition to our family. 2012 Triglide. She's a sweet ride!! Got 61 miles on her so far. The 30 tooth front drive sprocket really makes a difference.
I added a Captain Itch Crotch Cooler. It really handles the heat coming off the catalytic converter. Looking forward to riding two up again with my sweet wife.

Thanks Nana, Yeah, that was fast! I didn't have any idea they would have one in like we wanted. It has the front end Chrome package with matching footboards, Mirrows and grips. The color is Ember red and Sunglo Merlot. Tell Mike we said hello.

Congratulations on the new TriGlide. You will enjoy it. Welcome to the forum.

I have the same bike/year/color, but I have never heard of a front end "chrome package". I also noted your chrome bumper.

I don't see such a package as a Harley offering on their site, so is this some bling your dealer adds on to pad his profit a bit?


Welcome, and enjoy the trike!

Absolutely a Dealer addon for profit! I had the bumper added before I picked up the bike. A big mistake on my part. They charged me 75.00 labor to put in four bolts. Needless to say, they won't see me again unless it's a warranty issue. Ride Safe!!!

Nice is all I can say. Someday Joan and I will have one. I don't know which color I like the best. That new red is something, but the sparkle in the Merlot is beautiful too. I seem to be partial to red, if you know what I mean.

Thanks, I like a bright color in a bike. It's more likely to be seen better on the road.

I'm partial to Red also. Harley did a great job with the 2012 color's. The Blue is also nice.

We love our 2011 TG! Give yourself time to bond, and you'll wish you,d bought one sooner! Be safe.

I, like Nana, prefer the more subdued colors.

I, like Nana, prefer the more subdued colors.

There's nothing subdued about Nana, she's a real sweetheart.

+1 on that! She and Mike both are great People to know.

Congrats on your TG.. I have the same one in the blue. Got it 2 weeks ago and have already put on 500 miles...haha The wife and I are on the road as much as possible. I did have the rear bumper installed at the dealership. It should help protect the rear fiberglass backing into its place in the garage... and it looks sweet!!!.. Drive safe and often...

Beautiful color. Congrats. I'm not familier with Crotch Cooler.

How it work?

Check over on the right side of your screen, and scroll down through the sponsor banners to one that says either "Crotch Cooler" or "Captain Itch". The crotch cooler makes a huge difference in keeping the engine heat off your thighs! Here is a picture of mine on my trike:

Looks to me like the Crotch Cooler may effect the heat dissipation from the rear of the motor. I worry more about the motor getting hot than me.
