Made it up to Gallipolis OH. Stayed at Hampton Inn. Try to make it to Grand Rapids today and chill. Probably start the lakeside ride up to Mackinaw City tomorrow morning.
High temp from a gasket smeared all over the pipe just before sliding it in and clamping with a new clamp solved that problem for me. About 20 k on it and still holding
I have another strange situation on my 2019 DCT. Now that I'm using Tour Mode and not Econ to ride around my area it appears I am. now using oil. I'm down a half a quart in 200 miles. No leaks, no blue smoke, nothing. A tech mentioned that my oil, " smelled like there might be a clutch issue" when I picked it back up after deciding to run in in Tour and not Econ. I can't figure what that even means. The noise I had previously has gone away and the engine doesn't sound any different but my oil level is decreasing. I'm checking the oil level daily. Dealer said if it is a clutch issue it will run $2400.00 just to pull the engine plus the repair. Just wondered if anyone on this site ever had an issue like this. Thanks
I know quite a few going with a rake kit, I'm happy the way it is stock, I have no trouble steering and most of the time is one handed to relieve my other hand a rest, carpal tunnel symdrome. I would have to drive a trike with a rake kit and then I might decide to do it but for now I will keep what I have.
Good luck for the ones that have it or going to do it
All for now Trampas
Khromewerks makes a non cat head pipe called the hideaway that appears stock , works with stock heat shields and bolts right up in place of factory head pipe. To help beat the heat I did one on my 21 TriGlide and added the DEI heat shield insulation under the heat shields . Big difference in heat and sound. Both available through local Drag dealer
Just found an interesting video about a no start condition.
Possibly something set up house in the fairing and gorged itself on some wires.
Just for the heck of it bang on the right side fairing like he show in the video and see if the bike starts.
I am running the 4" Bam Sticks with the 1.75" baffles, along with some TTI's.
This is the first exhaust in over 20 years that I am running with baffles. With the install of the cam it was just hitting too hard and loud for hour after hour of riding, although it did sound fantastic at an idle.
You can see the slip-ons I'm running at this LINK and the TTI's I'm running at this LINK.
Here is a video of the sound-

Since the seat I have that came on my TG is the Road Zeppelin (not a cheap seat) when I bought it, I chose to remove my long extended seat bolt in favor of the “Robert Becker” brand.
Sense of security plus it’s the long extended design just for the Tri Glides.
It’s not a cheap seat lock, but is an awesome set up!
Volunteer audio is where I bought mine and was the cheapest that I found last November.
Pic attached.

The next gentleman's comment at 7000 was very close. At this time the conversion starts at 6895 and Jeff does offer many extras. I opted for a new drive belt as mine was 10 years old and 55,000 miles.
My sister was there in New York and witnessed the entire episode, at the time.....(lucky she was not in the building, and had just left approximately ten minutes earlier....
