There was a discussion on the forum about wheel lug tightening. Over time the factory lug could become loose due to the external chrome cap that is pressed on the lug, not tightening correctly. Could be a problem with someone who is removing the wheels many times as Kevin had. This may have been on a wheel thread. The cover did not contact the wheel surface, just a chrome cover. Think about a bottle cap.

This past Sunday I gave my newly acquired Harley heated gear (under layer jacket and pants, socks and gloves/grips) a good 225 mile workout (temps started around freezing and didn’t get above 40).
:yahoo:
No complaints… seems to be worth every cent since they have extended my riding season dramatically.

Decided to adjust my Legends from the “recommended starting point” of “3” (as installed by my dealer) to “2” in the quest of softening up the ride a bit.
Not that I was unhappy with the ride on position 3, but as we know, trikes don’t feel like our old 2 wheelers and I just accepted the ride where it was. Truthfully I forgot they were adjustable.
Well, glad I made the switch! Position 2 is noticeably more “forgiving” without being too mushy. Nice…:yahoo:
I don’t know why it took me so long to crawl under and make the adjustment, but I’m certainly enjoying the improvement in ride comfort!

Killed a lot of bugs with it. Out in the big sand box it was rather warm. Palm Springs/ Palm Desert 105 Deg and no shade. About 280 Miles in the hot sun.

Avon front tire
I ordered a new Avon Cobra Chrome front tire for my 2016 TriGlide online last week from Summit Racing. It was on my front porch today. Good job.

Rode nearly 400 miles into east central Iowa to scope out a potential HOG Chapter run out to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa.
Sad to hear they will be closing the doors and liquidating the museum collection this fall.
The ride was great. Rode US Route 30 most all the way.
Route 66 gets all the attention but some of the Americana I viewed while taking this scouting trip along the old “Lincoln Highway” was pretty cool.

My hydraulic clutch line was frayed at the slave cylinder so I ordered a new on, It leaked at the slave cylinder connection like a sieve. Come to find out there is a crush convex brass washer available on a service bulletin that a fellow member on HDforums told me about. The dealer didn’t know this and wasn’t any help.
if any of you ever have this issue, it exists. Not a O-ring as i thought but a crush brass washer.

Thanks, Jack. I've put 22K on my current Avon front trike tire with absolutely no problems.

The wife and I rode into Dayton and meet up with friends at the Dublin Pub for dinner. She is just 5 weeks out from a left knee replacement so for right now our rides have been close to home.
Changed out a non working Love Jugs Mighty Mite fan, it was toasted with melted wires inside the casing. Got the metal retention ring out but struggled getting the bad fan out, it seemed to be swelled up from the melted wires. Anyway, all done and working fine again.
