I am coming out with a couple of new products made for the Tri-Glide.
I ride pretty much year round and have been working on trying to stop as much cold air as possible from coming around as well as under faring and over tank area of the Tri-Glide. I know, if you want to be warm, drive a truck! Not me. The "wing" deflectors that mount down the side of the forks that HD makes would not work with turn signals / lower fairings and the ones made by Randy Emter at Street Glide Wind Deflectors did not fit to follow rake of forks on the Tri-Glide. Instead of reinventing the wheel for these, I have been working with Randy on a redesign of his to fit our Tri-Glides. These will follow the rake of forks as well as clear the lowers with no modifications. We will both be selling them for the Tri-Glide.
I also have designed a deflector to mount under the fork lower tree to block air coming under faring and up and over tank. Jerry Leonard has been testing the different shapes I have been cutting and bending and to date, we are happy with results. Results with both deflectors together, they block most of the cold air I have experienced from these areas. For extreme cold riding, the only other area is what comes over lowers and up the leg. Still working on that one. I will be sending several sets of final prototypes in raw metal form to a couple of Forum Members I have been talking with about these for final testing in January. If all goes well, we should have them to market in February.
The fork leg deflectors will be chrome, lower tree deflector will have a formed metal mounting bracket (powder coated) and formed smoked Lexan deflector. If you are also a cool weather rider and are interested, give me a call or drop me an e mail for more information.
